I filed for disability insurance last year. It took about 3-4 weeks for my claim to be processed. Make sure you have all your medical documentation in order, it'll speed things up. Good luck!

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone about this stuff. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

ā¢Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

ā¢Yeah, it's totally legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo.

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your symptoms, doctor visits, and how your disability affects your daily life. This can be super helpful if they request more info or if you need to appeal.

Anyone else feel like were playing a game of chance with these claims? Sometimes it feels like they just flip a coin to decide š
