If you do not make more than $25,000 a year and file as an individual or your household income is less than $32,000 per year and you file jointly, you will not have to pay taxes on your Social Security Disability benefits.If your income exceeds those limits, a portion of your disability payments may indeed be taxable.f you have just begun receiving Social Security Disability payments and you received a back payment from the SSA, you need to be very careful when filing taxes and claiming your back payment amount as income on your tax return.
Initally disability claims, or applications, are usually decided in under 120 days; though, occasionally some claims can be approved in under 30 days if the disability examiner has quick access to the medical evidence.
If you really want to get a handle on how long your hearing decision will take, simply call the hearing office and speak with a staff member.

There is no standard amount of time. If you're represented, the person handling your case may have a fairly good handle on how long a particular judge normally takes to get a decision out.
