Quick answers

How long do I have to appeal a Social Security disability denial?

Generally 60 days from the day you receive the denial notice. Social Security assumes you received it 5 days after the date on the letter. If you miss the deadline, you may still be able to show "good cause," so call an attorney right away.

How much does a Social Security disability lawyer cost?

Under a standard fee agreement, there is no attorney fee unless you win. Social Security approves the fee and pays it from your past-due benefits — the lesser of 25% or $9,200 (2026). You may owe small costs such as medical-record copy fees.

Do I need a lawyer for my Social Security disability hearing?

You are not required to have one, but a representative can gather medical records, obtain doctor opinions, prepare you for the judge's questions, and question the vocational expert. Attorney fees are paid only if you win, from past-due benefits.

How long does the Social Security disability process take in Texas?

An initial decision often takes several months; reconsideration adds more; and hearing wait times vary by office. Check the current average for the Dallas hearing office on Social Security's public processing-time page, which we link and update quarterly.
