I visited the Bear Social Security office to file for disability benefits. The wait was about 20 minutes, which isn't bad for a government office. The person who helped me was thorough and made sure I understood every step.

The Bethany Beach Social Security office was really crowded. Took forever to replace my social security card. I'd recommend going early if you can.

Stopped by the Claymont office to change my address with social security. Plenty of parking and the wait was maybe 15 minutes -- very smooth experience overall.
