How Long Does It Take To Receive Benefits?
There is no easy answer to this question. If your case goes to a hearing before an administrative law judge, it could take anywhere from 30 to 120 days to receive a written decision. If the judge sides with you, you could receive benefits shortly after the order is entered. If you do not prevail at your hearing, you have the right to seek a re-hearing.
In addition, there is a waiting period before benefits can kick in. According to the law, you are required to wait five months from the date the SSA determines your disability began. A Williamsburg social security disability lawyer can help guide you through the process. We keep in contact with people we have developed relationships with over several decades.
