Do you have a Social Security disability hearing scheduled? Curious about the judge who was randomly chosen for your hearing? You can look up your judge at DisabilityJudges.com and find out the judge’s approval and denial rates. Be prepared for a shock — approval rates vary wildly among judges. In North Texas, approval rates range from under 10% to over 70% depending on which judge you get.
North Texas has three hearing offices — Dallas Downtown, Dallas North, and Fort Worth.
Here is a description from the website:
