Having Challenges While Waiting for Your Disability Claim- Now What?

Settling your SSDI claim is a major step in your recovery journey. At Synergy Pharmacy, we understand how complex and stressful this process can be especially when dealing with a motor vehicle or workers’ compensation claim. Our experience with injury-related patients gives us insight into the unique challenges you face.

If you’re unable to return to work, we can help as your go-to Pennsylvania workers compensation pharmacy. Whether you need assistance finding a qualified attorney or navigating the delays and pitfalls common in SSDI claims, we’re here to support you. If you already have legal representation, it’s essential to gather and organize all your medical documentation to strengthen your case.

Social Security Disability claims require a specific level of expertise and persistence.  So while you wait for your claim to be finalized, you shouldn’t have to go without the medications you need. That’s where we come in. Synergy Pharmacy is here to ensure you have access to the essential prescriptions that support your health and healing—even while your SSDI is still pending . We can be your reliable workers comp pharmacy. 

What is SSDI?

SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance. It is a federal program that provides monthly benefits to people who are unable to work due to a long-term disability.  

To qualify, individuals must have:

  • A medical condition that prevents them from working for 12 months or more, or is expected to result in death.
  • Contributed to the Social Security system through payroll taxes for a certain period before becoming disabled.

SSDI is not a welfare program—it’s an insurance benefit you’ve earned through your work history. 

Challenges with SSDI

1. Waiting for Approval

  • Lengthy Approval Process: The average wait time for an initial decision can be several months. If denied and appealed, the process may take 1-2 years or more.
  • Backlog in Appeals: Appeals—especially hearings before an administrative law judge—often experience major delays due to overburdened case systems.
  • Uncertainty: Not knowing if or when benefits will be approved can add emotional strain during an already difficult time.

2.  Financial Stress

  • No Income While Waiting: Applicants often can’t work while waiting for approval.
  • Savings Depleted: Many people drain savings or rely on family to survive the waiting period.
  • Benefits Delay: Even once approved, back pay may take months to arrive.

3.  Recovery

  • Stress Impedes Recovery: The mental burden of waiting and financial instability can slow both physical and emotional healing.
  • Access to Care: Without SSDI many people lack health insurance during the interim.
  • Physical Healing:  The healing process takes focus and determination.  SSDI can provide time for recovery.  

Once you transition from filling out the SSDI application and you are in an appeal process, we can help you.  If you have been a patient of Synergy Pharmacy related to a Workers’ Compensation or Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) claim that is now resolved, you may also qualify for our Synergy Cares Program.
