The SSD application process involves more than paperwork. It requires patience to get through long processing times.​

It generally takes 6 to 8 months for an initial decision after submitting an application. The wait gets even longer when a claim denial requires an appeal.​

Our disability benefits team doesn’t sit back and wait. We take a proactive approach by tracking a claim's progress and intervening to prevent or resolve issues that could delay it. ​

SSD claims with episodic physical or mental health conditions can be difficult to prove; a journal can be valuable evidence of flare-ups.​

Medical conditions with symptoms that periodically flare up can be difficult to establish as disabling under the Social Security Administration's standard. A good way to document periods when symptoms affect a person’s ability to perform day-to-day activities, including working, is to keep a journal.​

Information to note in a journal about symptom flare-ups includes:​

👉 Date and time they occur.​
👉 Description of symptoms.​
👉 Severity and how long they last.​
👉 Limitations experienced during a flare-up.​
👉 Effect of prescribed medication on the symptoms.​

Common episodic medical conditions include seizure disorders, PTSD, asthma, and bipolar disorder.​

Disability benefits generally end at Social Security retirement age, but there is an exception.​

Federal law does not allow a person to collect Social Security disability and retirement benefits at the same time from one earnings record. Disability benefits through SSDI end at full retirement age, and retirement benefits begin automatically.​

If a person receives disability benefits through SSI and meets Social Security retirement requirements, their SSI benefits may continue. However, the amount of retirement income each month reduces their SSI payment.​
