SSDI Approval Timeline in New York: How Long Does It Really Take in 2026?

In New York, SSDI approval typically takes 3 to 24 months, depending on your stage in the process. The initial application is reviewed by NY State's Disability Determination Services in 3–6 months. Denials send your case to appeals — Reconsideration or ALJ Hearing — adding months or years. Strong medical records and knowing your rights at each stage can shorten the wait. #SSDI #SocialSecurity #DisabilityLaw #NewYork

SSA-3373 Form PDF Download + Fillable Function Report Adult Guide 2024

The SSA-3373 Function Report Adult is one of the most critical documents in any SSDI claim — it shows the SSA how your disability affects daily life, from self-care to work. Over 65% of initial claims are denied, often because the function report is incomplete or vague. Be specific, document your worst days, and keep all answers consistent with your medical records. #SSDI #SocialSecurity #DisabilityLaw #Florida

I legitimately think that a good lawyer needs to front a human rights class action lawsuit on the behalf of disabled people in BC. We've been trapped in our homes and unable to participate safely in basic human life for several years now. How that isn't a eugenics program is beyond me. We've been very vocally told we don't have the same rights as able bodied people or that we do, but we just have to accept that we will die in the process.

Be UC Davis' top disability cop overseeing employees (as opposed to head of the separate disability cop system they have for students).

It's easy! No requirements that are publicly viewable! *wink wink*

It's always hard to figure out whether to boycott a system or bring it down from within or both. If you're in favor of the latter, get this job ad out to anti-ableists.

UC gives away the game by asking for expertise in "ADA compliance" rather than expertise in making everything accessible and inclusive. They had to be compelled. And they will fight in in court when their rationing & policing offices aren't stonewalling effectively enough.
