The length of time it takes to receive a decision on your disability claim is from 3 to 5 months.  It can vary depending on several factors, but primarily on:

• the nature of your disability;
• how quickly we obtain medical evidence from your doctor or other medical source;
• whether it is necessary to send you for a medical examination in order to obtain evidence to support your claim; and
• If your claim is randomly selected for quality assurance review of the decision.
