How Can One Expedite a Hearing on a Social Security Disability/SSA Claim?
A “Dire Need” situation exists when a person has insufficient income or resources to meet an immediate threat to health or safety, such as lack of food, clothing, shelter or medical care. The claim must allege specific immediate circumstances. Expeditious hearing requests are routinely denied unless a claimant meets at least one of four circumstances: The first is whether the claimant is 55 years of age or older. This is because at 55, claimants fall into a less restrictive disability category. As a consequence, the claim is more easily decided by a Social Security Administration judge. We automatically file expeditious requests once all of our clients reach the age of 55. The second category for expeditious handling is when the claimant is at a critical risk for death if emergency life saving surgery is not performed immediately.
