The Raleigh News and Observer reports that Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) has written the Commissioner of Social Security:
"Those appealing a denial of Social Security disability benefits are experiencing outrageously long delays in the scheduling of hearings at the Offices of Disability Adjudication and Review," Dole wrote to Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue. "North Carolinians appealing a denial must in many cases wait nearly two years, and individuals who are ultimately granted benefits on appeal suffer substantial financial, emotional and even physical hardships during this delay.
"This situation concerns me deeply and is clearly unacceptable."
