You or your representative (your representative can be a disability attorney, or a non-attorney representative) may request that a letter of dire need be sent to the Social Security hearing office to expedite the scheduling of your disability hearing. This letter will not actually be sent to a disability judge. And, in fact, in most instances, your disability case will not even have been assigned to a judge. Typically, a dire need letter will be sent to the hearing office director for the hearing office that your disability claim has been assigned to. Will sending a dire need letter help? Potentially, this letter may expedite your social security disability hearing or SSI hearing. However, due to huge backlogs in the system, many individuals are currently sending in letters of dire need. Frankly, by the time most individuals make a request for a disability hearing, they are in financial disarray and potentially facing bankruptcy or home foreclosure. However, do not let this discourage your request of dire need, because there is no way to know who will be awarded an expedited administrative law judge hearing. Unfortunately, the entire Social Security disability process is likely to cause financial hardship for disability applicants.
