The wait for a disability hearing varies from a few months to over a year, and once the Request for Hearing is filed, you will not hear a lot from Social Security. You will be notified by mail when your hearing has been scheduled, so if you move, make sure that you give Social Security your new address.
The Notice of Hearing will arrive and it includes the date, time and location of your hearing. It will have instructions about what to do if your hearing is an OVH hearing. You can read more about the types of hearings and what to expect a hearing.
The Hearing Notice Forms
It also has 4 forms included. If you have an attorney, discuss which of the four forms you should return. If you do not have an attorney, be sure to return all of the forms in the packet. One will be a form for you to sign, just acknowledging that you know about the hearing and plan to attend. The remaining three forms give the judge information about your work history and medical treatment. You will need to list your work history for the past 15 years.
Hopefully, you have saved a copy of the work history report you filed early on in your case so that you can refer to it You will also need to list the names and contact information for all of the doctors that you have seen since you last filed an appeal. The last form asks for a list of all of your current medications, dosages, the reason for the medication and the name of the doctor who prescribed it for you.
