Anyone had a disability claim partially approved

[Jirel]

2. Incorrect.

There are 3 phases in most cases, the initial application (about 1/3 approved, only the clearest cases that meet Listings), and Reconsideration (usually under 15%) through a bureaucratic process, and then a hearing stage with an administrative law judge. Chances are better with the ALJ. However, you can’t say that most get approved. In some states it averages above 50%, in others it’s dismal.
