Can you be approved for disability without having to go to a hearing ?


The disability hearing is just the third level of the disability claims process, and it is not mandated that all disability claims must have a hearing to be approved. There are two levels previous to the hearings level in which a disabled individual may be approved for disability (the disability application level and the request for reconsideration level).

It has been estimated that approximately thirty percent of all disability claims are allowed, or approved, at the initial level nationwide, and an additional 10- 15 percent are allowed at the reconsideration level. These statistics due seem to indicate that at least fifty-five percent of disability claims nationwide go to the hearings level.
