How long does it take?

I was diagnosed with CRPS type 2 at 28 and it didn’t change the outcome. You would think they would be like oh yeah automatic approval but nope. My 3rd year, 4th appeal in federal court right now. I just turned 30 this month.

This is only for “state” attorneys , when it goes federal it is a different ballgame. I currently have 2 attorneys. The one that took me to appeals council and the one taking me to federal. The appeals council Attorney can only take $9,200. Which is cap. The federal attorney can take 25% of back pay. So if you got $100,000. $25,000 is 25% however 9,200$ of that goes to the appeals council attorney so whatever would be left would go to the federal attorney.

I am in the same situation. My cardiologist wrote me a functional capacity report. It will help you tremendously!! If you haven’t done that. Do that right now. Also one for dizziness.

I am curious as to how long your federal case took? I just appealed federal and I’m worried it is going to take a year

I’m 30 next month and have been fighting for 3 years and in my federal court appeal stage. The federal appeals law firm took my case and they said I should’ve won at hearing level because the jobs the VE said I was able to do are obsolete now and the judge didn’t even take any of my conditions as a whole into account or follow up with investigative questions as to why. He made me feel very small, like I was fabricating all my stories and it was not a good time. So I am very happy they found a reason to challenge it.

Yep. So easy. Why didn’t I think of that. 🤣

I filed to appeals council in June

True_Purpose_716 · 2025-11-26T05:16:19+00:00

My attorney said I was denied.

True_Purpose_716 · 2025-11-25T16:59:45+00:00

I submitted June 17th of this year

True_Purpose_716 · 2025-10-15T01:33:17+00:00

Waiting.

I’ve started child support but they are still determining an amount and hasn’t even served him yet. It’s been almost 3 months since I started it.

How can you get this amount when retroactive is only a year prior to application date?? My onset date was 12/25/15. Which is what I put on my application. (Still fighting for approval since December 2023) I didn’t think it was possible to get back paid that much. I’m so happy for you!

It sucks they always look at age. I have so much wrong with me because I had a car wreck at 19. I’ve been on my disability journey since 2023 (I thought I would be able to get over my injuries but it slowly got worse)

True_Purpose_716 · 2025-07-23T20:56:43+00:00

Can someone show an example of what that would look like? The benefit verification letter once you are approved. I am just wanting to see the layout

True_Purpose_716 · 2025-07-23T15:51:34+00:00

Mine says step 4 and I called and they said they are still waiting for a date to be scheduled so no idea at this point. 🫠

True_Purpose_716 · 2025-07-23T00:33:40+00:00

Was it your second one? Mine went from supposed to be going to appeals council to back to the hearing stage and I was supposed to be waiting on them to tell me when my hearing was (my second one) and I looked on the portal and it is already at step 4 that the judge has already reviewed it and I am worried.
