[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2310390, member: 9374"] Usually several years, I think, on average. It seems nearly everyone, even those obviously severely disabled end up denied the first, or even second try. However, once they are approved, it seems most end up with a sizable check because their benefits are back-dated to the time of their application. Not sure if that usually includes all the way back to the first application, but I don't think so. Several thousand dollars for most, I believe. As a side note, what a lot of people don't understand is that once they are approved for disability, I believe it is two more years before their Medicare benefits for medical kick in, unless they can get special approval in exigent circumstances.
