Question: How long does it take to get a Social Security disability hearing?
Answer: It varies — a lot. There are some hearings in less than six months. Other people have to wait over a year.
Here are some recent numbers on receipts, dispositions, cases pending and how long it takes at various Social Security hearing offices. The last number is expressed in days and counts the total time up to a decision being issued. It’s the average processing time. Your case could take longer.
