hello. im only 34 and ive gone through the whole worrying of the unknown and unanswered questions about this ssdi stuff but i can say that in the end ive witnessed that the medical documentation of everything does not lie and ultimately (although in some cases can be such a struggle) will result in you receiving the benefits that you are due.
my case was that i applied online with the help of my social worker in my neuro's office and only in about 3 months i got a request to go to ssa's dr and about 2 weeks from there they requested me to go to my local ssa office to provide standard info i.e. bank statements, direct deposit info and ask some questions but after that i would say about another few weeks i received my amount and date of first payment letter.
so my process to a bit over 4 months but i was worried because of my age. now that burden is off of me and i just have to figure out insurance stuff because my amount is to much to get medicaid and i need to see my doctors and receive medications. my advice to you all would be to seek professional free help through local agencies, social workers and ms organizations. im praying that all of you will get through this ok.
