Arlington Social Security Disability Hearings

Almost 90% of these are denied as well. The third step in the process is the disability hearing. This is generally an applicant’s best chance to be approved as almost 58% of claims are approved at this stage.
Arlington disability claimants will have to travel to Washington DC for their hearings. It can take over a year in some situations to have a hearing scheduled with the DC hearing office.
It is very rare, but it is possible to have your hearing date scheduled sooner. To see if this a possibility, you will have to contact your local congressman to see if he or she would be willing to intervene to have your hearing scheduled sooner. Your congressman will only consider your request if you are faced with an extremely difficult financial or medical condition.
