    In the event an SSDI applicant is unable to afford the most basic necessities an exception on the basis of dire need may be possible. This would encompass an inability to pay for food, medical care, or utilities, or housing and shelter.

    Active Military Duty

    If a member of the military became disabled while on active duty (beginning October 1, 2001) the SSA will expedite their decision making process for a disability claim. Even if the injury is not directly related to military service, the SSA will still expedite the decision as long as the onset of the disability occurred while a service member is on active duty.
