Home :: FAQ :: Social Security Disability Hearing

Why do I need a copy of my SSA file on Disk?

The Judge’s at the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review request that duplicate records not be submitted to the hearing office. One can use the social security disk to check what medical records the hearing office has already received in the case. It is also helpful to check the disk to make sure that the records submitted thus far have made it to the claimant’s electronic file.

Warning! It will take some time for the hearing office staff to get you a copy of the electronic disk. It is also not encouraged to order these disks frequently. The hearing office staff is more than happy to help their Claimants, but excessive use of this practice can lead to them rationing the amount of disks a Claimant or representative can order. In our experience, the hearing office will try to limit the total number of disks they will send to either one or two disks total.
