Hoosier face a long wait for Social Security claims

Waiting for a disability claim to clear in Indiana? Hope you brought a book.
Recently released information indicates that Indiana residents wait nearly two years from the start of the process for their paperwork to clear.
According to Disability Judges (www.disabilityjudges.com), claimants wait nearly a year (11.6 months) for their Social Security Disability or Social Security Disability hearing. On top of that, it generally takes more than a year (368 days, to be exact) for cases to be processed.
That adds up to a lot of wasted time for Hoosiers who are unable to work and have bills to pay.
And it doesn't matter if you live in Indianapolis, Evansville, Gary, or anywhere in between. The Valparaiso Office of Disability Adjudication boasts the shortest wait time - nine months for hearings and 295 days for processing.
As if this situation weren't frustrating enough, Indiana claimants face even odds that their case will be approved. Disability Judges reports that the four ODAR offices (located in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville and Valparaiso) see an average approval rate of 50 percent.
Sound advice becomes even more valuable in the face of lengthy delays brought about by Social Security red tape. The law offices of Keller & Keller LLP have the experience needed to guide clients through the difficult process of claims and appeals.
The most recent figures suggest that Indiana lags behind the national average in the wait time for hearings (11.4 months) and processing time (364 days). Take action to help protect yourself and your family. Contact Keller & Keller LLP to get the most out of your Social Security claim as soon as possible.
