Questions about Social Security Disability SSI Hearings

On this page, I've decided to gather all the various pages I've written regarding disability hearings. Some may seem redundant; however, they were written over the course of several years. Some of the topics addressed include how to file a request for a hearing, what happens at a hearing, how to prepare for a hearing, what happens after a disability hearing has been held, the role of the judge in a disability hearing, how long it may take to get a hearing scheduled, the use of vocational experts in hearings, the role of medical records in disability hearings, disability hearing backlogs, and the use of a disability lawyer or non attorney disability representative.

Over time, of course, more pages will be added to this section. More pages will certainly be added regarding the backlog problem in the scheduling of SSD and SSI hearings since this situation does not appear to be one that will ameliorate quickly and will, likely, be with us for a number of years.
