My brother has been in "Special Education" classes all his life. He even participated in the "Special Olympics" as a child. He is now 33 years old and has difficulty keeping a job. He applied for disability benefits with the help of family members, and his claim has been denied. He hired a lawer who is taking his case. Of course Social Security denies most of the claims they receive, then, it gets appealed, and finally some have to go to trial, but, seriously, how long does it take for them to get this process over with?

My friend went through that and it took her 2 years. The length of time usually depends on the disability.
