Unfortunately, it’s not possible to say exactly when you will begin receiving disability benefits. SSD benefits depend on whether the claim was approved after submitting the initial application or approved after a hearing or appeal.
The time it takes to receive disability benefits can also depend on how the application was processed. If issues arose during processing – for example, the examiner had difficulty accessing your medical information – further delays could result. You should expect it to take at least six months to begin receiving benefits.
