Q: While you are awaiting a decision on a disability application for social security benefits, how are you supposed to support your family? A: The application review process for social security benefits can take anywhere from a few months to few years. Most cases take on average about 3 months to go through the initial review process. A large number of initial applications are not approved after the first step. Most claimants who are denied choose to take the next step and have their case reconsidered and, if necessary, appeal for a hearing. The additional steps add time to process, of course.
