How long does it take to get disability in the United States?

I just applied for disability but heard you may need an attorney. Some people say it takes two years.

This makes me feel a little bit better but I have schizoaffective bipolar subtype so I don’t know if that will make a difference.

that shouldn’t matter as long as you say you can’t concentrate any longer and you can’t work.

For me and my location it took me a year my first time. I used a lawyer service though.
