Monday (10/13/14) marks the 3-month mark since I applied for SSDI. My case has been in our state's (WA) Disability Determination Services office for at least a month of that.
I spoke with my case/claims manager there last Monday, and she told me they were still waiting on my medical files from four of my doctors. Boy am I glad I called!
I hopped on the phone and contacted them all and politely told them how terribly important it was to get these together for DDS asap. I made more polite contact during the following days and all the records were faxed in to DDS by this past Thursday. They all did it for me in less than 4 short days!
I called the person at DDS yesterday (10/10) and she acknowledged that all the records were received. She said that her work was now done and that my file had been sent to the DDS doctors for final review, that would only involve a portion of next week and that by the end of next week, my file would forwarded on/back to SSA.
Sorry for the long story, but does anyone know what kind of time it could take SSA to decide at that point?
I'm trying not to get too excited, but I'm so excited that I will be approved. My medical history supports my case and all my doctors are in support and I'm 60 years old.
Please send your prayers and/or good thoughts my way please. Thank you!!
