I notice that our St. Louis suburban hearing office, Creve Coeur, is not on the list. Are any others missing? No idea why, of course. Before HPI Creve Coeur used to have hearings 30 to 45 days after a request for hearing was filed. Now they seem to be falling apart. Understaffing may be part of the reason

But why don't they show the same for the dds, or at least dds that are outliers from the average?
and then explain why the speedier ones aren't doing more for the slower ones at dds or hearing office
