Applying for Disability

You will need to complete an Application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) AND a Child Disability Report. The key to successfully applying for disability is providing all of the records you have up front. It will speed up the process. Applications usually take 4-6 months to process. If approved they will provide back payment from application processing date. If denied there is an appeals process that you can go through for additional consideration.
