SSA quickly Over

[jfrei]

Just a heads up if you are P and T and your claim wasnt expedited do like I did and notify your senator or congressman’s office. They will put in an inquiry which then my was hearing was scheduled two weeks later. I didn’t mind the 4 month wait for the hearing I’m glad I got it scheduled quick and not 18-24 Months later. If you don’t know one in your state do what I did google your state or your county I. Your state congressman email/ phone number call his office say your a disabled vet who needs help with his hearing..

Congressional inquiry requires the party in question to respond to the inquiry, it will speed up the process of approval or denial, no leverage on in favor of applicant must i say.

My Congressional inquiry - sped my NOD/IU claim to total time of 370 days from start to finish. Blessed & Thankful - I had "made" my case well with documentation, just needed someone to push it along. 

My SSDI was approved in 2 months, without any assistance - but I scoured the regs before I applied to set up my profile for my exam.

That's Great L, im glad it worked out for you, hope the holidays can be holidays - stress because waiting for the unknown can be stressful. About your Congressional Inquiry.. from what i have know and experienced is that Congressional Inquiry is like big brother knocking on the bathroom door asking " are you done yet" and that the recipient has to answer. In your case, i think they kicked down the door and said when i move you move.. again.. glad it worked out for you and that you got Justice.

I didn’t even know what SSDI was until this year then filed in January. My Va claim was in the works that was finalized in May backdated last November for my P and T, rated at 100 % scheduler in May. Then after I was granted The Va stuff I searched on google and hadit on how to speed up my SSA claim so I got through my first two denials rather quickly. Then comes round three the hearing which I had an inquiry in July put in to schedule my hearing two weeks later it was scheduled a week before Christmas ironic. He reviewed my record and asked me about my past 9 jobs in the past 6 years and why they all fired me. He said This is your bench decision full approval for everything you’ll get the written in a week. I’m sure that won’t be the case since a week is Christmas but fingers crossed for soon. When the written does come I can’t find anything about bench decisions and how soon after do benefits start? I’m not worried about the retro it’s only 7 Months total after the 6 are minuses of the 13 Months if that sounds correct.... not gunna lie I feel like I’m on those final 2 months of paid vacation in the Military
