Speed Up Disability Processing (30 second audio script)

If you plan to apply for Social Security disability benefits, there are things you can do to help speed up the usual three to five month wait for a decision. The more information you provide up front, the less time it will take us to obtain the needed evidence — and the faster the decision can be made. Information like medical records or documentation, the names, addresses, and phone numbers of your doctors and medical facilities, information on your past employment, and more.
