The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) process in Virginia can take months or even years. However, in certain situations, your claim may qualify for expedited processing. This means the Social Security Administration (SSA) will review your application faster, helping you get benefits sooner.

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
When Can SSDI Be Expedited in Virginia?
Your SSDI claim may qualify for expedited review if you fall into one of these categories:
- Compassionate Allowances (CAL): Certain serious medical conditions, such as advanced cancer, ALS, or rare disorders, are flagged for faster review.
- Quick Disability Determination (QDD): Cases with strong medical evidence that clearly shows disability may be processed more quickly.
- Terminal Illness (TERI) Cases: If your medical records indicate a terminal condition, your claim may be prioritized.
- Dire Need Situations: If you face eviction, homelessness, or cannot access medication or food without benefits, the SSA may expedite your case.
- Veterans and Wounded Warriors: Veterans with a VA rating of 100% Permanent and Total (P&T) or service-related injuries may qualify for faster review.
