HUNTSVILLE DISABILITY TIME FRAMES

How long does it take to get a Social Security disability claim processed in Huntsville, AL?

It takes 90 to 120 days to get an initial decision from the Disability Determination Service (DDS).  About 72 percent of those decisions will be unfavorable, or denials.

The average processing time for an appeal in Alabama is 424 days.  From the time you file your appeal until you have a final resolution will be about 424 days.

Claims can be faster if you are:

a)  a disabled veteran with a 100% permanent, total disability rating from the US Veterans Administration, or

b)  in dire need - you are homeless, about to be evicted, without food or medical treatment and cannot afford food or medical treatment, etc. (The rules for "dire need" are rather strict).

If you need help with a Social Security disability claim (veteran or non-veteran), please contact the Forsythe Firm in Huntsville, AL at (256) 799-0297.

There is no fee for anything we do unless you are approved and receive past due benefits.
