In general, most conventional mortgages require 10 to 25 percent of the purchase price as a down payment. There are exceptions, however, that may decrease down payments to around 3 percent for first-time home buyers, or increase them to 30 to 35 percent for credit-challenged borrowers.
Answer: The evaluation of an appeal in a Social Security disability claim can take anywhere from a few months to two years. It really depends on several factors: from the jurisdiction where you live to which individual Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hears your case.
If you go to the next level of appeal, appeals to a federal court typically take about a year for a decision -- but several years isn't out of the question. Federal court judges have many kinds of cases on their schedule that have nothing to do with Social Security disability, so your claim will have to wait its turn.
