Find the Hawaii DDD Intake Office

Step by step

  1. Create a dated evidence index matching records to diagnosis, onset, substantial functional limitations, and current support needs.
  2. Submit the requested records through the DDD Intake Office route and retain proof.
  3. Ask for a written missing-information request, eligibility decision, or next event.

Expected next

Records request, evaluation activity, eligibility notice, or named next step.

Save this proof

Evidence index, evaluations, submissions, confirmation, contacts, and written result.
