I applied for SSDI in July.

Every time I go online to check the status of my application it says that a medical decision has been made but that it's in processing.

It's been in this processing review thing since October!

When I called they told me I should be getting an answer by the 20th of this month.

When applying, has anyone else had a similar thing happen?

It's driving me crazy! I need an answer NOW!!!

Why is it taking so long?!

My assumption is that since it took only three months for them to come up with a decision it's been denied. Why can't they just tell me so I can move on to the next step?! I need to get this by July or I'm going to be stuck living with my in-laws for potentially another YEAR. Not good.
