Denton Social Security Disability Hearings
Unfortunately, most claims are denied in both the initial application and request for reconsideration stages. Those who are denied at these two stages will have to request to have a disability hearing with the Dallas-North Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR). The hearing stage is generally the best chance an applicant has to be approved for benefits. Thus, you should strongly consider hiring an attorney prior to attending the hearing.
It can take up to a year to have a hearing scheduled with Dallas ODAR due to a heavy backlog of pending cases. However, in rare circumstances, you can have your hearing scheduled sooner by contacting your local congressman, The congressman for the Denton area is able to be contacted at the following address:
