how long is disability reconsideration
Ordinarily, no longer than a disability application. Typically, a reconsideration decision on a disability claim is made faster than on a disability application and it is not unreasonable to expect a decision within eight weeks. Unfortunately, in most cases, you are even more likely to be denied on a reconsideration than on a disability application. In prior years, the average national rate of denial on a request for reconsideration was 85 percent. Recent reporting of federal statistics indicates that it is now approximately 87 percent.
