If your case is not approved after reconsideration, you then file to have it heard before an administrative judge. The hearing process is the last and perhaps most thorough step in the social security disability process. Those who choose to submit a brand new application over and over again do not make it to the hearing stage. Not appealing adds tremendous and unnecessary time as you await a decision that is likely to not be in your favor, given that your claim was already denied at the initial review process stage. You are at square one again.
