There is usually a wait of
several months to obtain a hearing after a Social Security disability
appeal is filed. However, there are plenty of reasons to submit all
your evidence in the case as early as possible.
I recently appealed a Social Security decision and asked for a hearing. I filed the request for hearing in September in the routine manner. In December the case was reviewed and approved without a hearing. The appeal was thus resolved in less than 90 days.
It doesn't always happen that way, obviously, but when there is plenty of evidence, it is always best if you can submit it right away. In fact, I find there are at least two advantages to submitting medical evidence early:
One, it provides a more likely opportunity for an early review of the case. Two, it gives the representative or attorney an opportunity to write a thorough brief for the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR).
Often, the early bird gets the.....review!
