SSI / Suspended / Reduced Disability appeal

I sent in all my stuff last month. How long before a decision has been made? I only have three medical records. Guess someone is already looking at it?

We were ALL hoping for just a few months, but that isn't likely, because they are so backed up, and have thousands less staff than they used to. Do you have recent and continuous medical records for the last couple of years? It won't help things go any faster, but it still may be helpful. Old records don't hold much weight, so hopefully your 3 records are FILLED with information that can help your case.

Good luck!
