If you are still denied after a review by the Council of Appeals, you can take the next step of filing a lawsuit with the Federal court. The majority of claimants whose cases are heard before an administrative judge have a social security disability lawyer on their side. Those who were not represented by an attorney when their claims went through the hearing would be wise to contact one before any request for review is filed. Q: How long does it take for a decision to be made once you file for social security disability insurance? A: Most claims take about three to six months to get through the initial review process. Some claims, however, can take significantly longer.
