The Charlotte disability hearing office

SSA Office of Hearings Operations
2201 Coronation Boulevard, Suite 200
Charlotte, NC 28227

According to SSA, the Charlotte hearing office handles cases from the Social Security field offices in Charlotte, Gastonia, Concord, Albemarle, Salisbury, Statesville, Hickory and Shelby, as well as Rock Hill, South Carolina. If you live anywhere in that region, this is likely where your hearing will be.

In fiscal year 2026 (through August 28, 2026), Charlotte’s judges approved 70.7% of the cases they decided, compared with 57.6% nationally. Even with a strong office-wide rate, results vary from judge to judge, and preparation makes the difference. See the approval rate for each Charlotte judge.

Why a high approval rate doesn’t mean you can skip preparation

Judges approve cases when the evidence clearly shows you can’t work. A strong hearing office rate helps, but your own case still depends on complete medical records, a clear statement from your doctor about your limitations, and testimony that matches your records. We make sure all three are in place before your hearing. See what to expect at a North Carolina disability hearing.
