Hi, I filed for SSDI in November of 2018. I received the expected denial letter, so I hired a lawyer. I believe I have very good chance at receiving SSDI...I worked at the same job for 13 years, have been in continuous psychiatric treatment all of my adult life, including seeing the same pdoc for the past 3 years.
I have not yet received a date to see a judge. My lawyer says I probably won't have that date set until May of 2020 (and the actual date will most likely be somewhere between June and September).
So I'm looking at not receiving benefits until likely at least December of 2020. That will be a full 23 months since my initial application.
For those who receive or are applying for it, is that amount of time for an SSDI case normal?
