| The following information about Social Security Disability and ssi benefits should assist you in learning more about how the disability process works and specifically relates to the question, "If I get the same judge at a second disability hearing can I do anything about this?" |

If I get the same judge at a second disability hearing can I do anything about this? No. If you were denied at a disability hearing by an administrative law judge, appealed this denial to the appeals council, and were granted a remand (basically, a second hearing), then your subsequent hearing will be held by the same ALJ. Is this fair? Logically, it would not seem to be. A judge who previously denied a disability claim is far less likely to "suddenly conclude" that the prior ruling (his or her own ruling) was in error than would be the case if a different judge was given the remand.
