Give Us A Call »Start the Social Security Disability Application Process Early
Applying for Social Security Disability benefits and waiting for a decision on your eligibility can take a long time. While you are coping with a disability, or helping a loved one cope with one, these lengthy wait times can be stressful and frustrating. The wait times can be even more stressful when you also struggle financially while waiting to receive medical and financial benefits.
Current Social Security Administration (SSA) information states that waiting times to process an application can be as long as three to five months. This is processing time, alone – the time it takes to gather the required documents, medical records, and employment records can only add to the amount of time between the date of your injury and the response to your completed application.
If you or a family member suffered a disabling injury and believe you qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, our team is here to help you complete the application and get started on the road to the benefits you deserve. Do not wait to file your application.

- U.S. military discharge papers, if applicable
- W-2 forms or self-employment tax returns
- Medical records and reports

888-612-7001Understanding How the Determination Process Works
The determination process can mean months of waiting. SSA administrators will review your completed application and speak with members of your health care team. SSA officials use five pieces of information to determine eligibility:
- Your current earnings and income
- Your current medical condition
- The severity of your current medical condition
- Your ability to return to the same or similar employment
- Your ability to perform any other type of work
If you are blind, SSA has a different set of rules that apply to your Social Security Disability application.
Applying for Social Security Disability benefits and waiting for a decision to be made on your claim can be a harrowing experience. Fortunately, you do not have to navigate this emotionally challenging time alone. A Social Security disability lawyer in Clemson from George Sink, P.A.
