Can you get approved for disability the first time?
Answer. No, it is a myth that all disability claims are denied the first time around. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has no regulation, policy, or formula that influences the disability system in such a way that most initial applications for Social Security disability benefits are automatically denied.
Why does it take so long to get approved for disability?
