Sanford, FL asked in Social Security for Florida

Q: With SSD, is it unusal for a case to be in appeal for over 5 years? This case was reprimanded back to the origina Judge

this case was denied but the attorneys appealed the denial. was told it went back to the original Judge on a reprimand. This was 5 years ago and these attorneys still have not told me a date. I'm thinking the attorneys messed up somewhere and not telling me. they tell me if I get another lawyer, I would lose my back pay does this sound right? Thank you.

A: It does take many years to resolve this type of problem sometimes. Do not switch attorneys is my opinion.
