Social Security timeframe

[Mini14]

Does anyone have experience with SSI or SSDI? I filed about a month ago, and im wondering how long it will take before I hear back from them.

The clerk at the Social Security office I talked to said it takes 3 to 6 months but my councilor told me that when he went on SSDI, he got a check/debit card within 2 months, because he went in person.

It took me about three months which included a consult with a social security psychiatrist.

Ahh, good to hear, thanks!! I gave them the information to reach my old psychiatrist who originally diagnosed me. The lady at the Social Security office told me that all communication regarding the case is done by mail...so I guess Ill keep checking the mailbox until then.

I suppose it depends on the person involved on how willing they want to do something for you.
