When you get your disability approved, you are given whatever amount you would have been getting if you had been approved the day you filed. Lump sum, retroactive. The attorneys get a percentage of THAT money. They have absolutely no incentive to get approval quickly.
Bring up the fact that your attorneys did not advise you on much, at the hearing.
