The density of states (DoS), $varrho(E)$, of graphene is investigated numerically and within the self-consistent T-matrix approximation (SCTMA) in the presence of vacancies within the tight binding model. The focus is on compensated disorder, where t he concentration of vacancies, $n_text{A}$ and $n_text{B}$, in both sub-lattices is the same. Formally, this model belongs to the chiral symmetry class BDI. The prediction of the non-linear sigma-model for this class is a Gade-type singularity $varrho(E) sim |E|^{-1}exp(-|log(E)|^{-1/x})$. Our numerical data is compatible with this result in a preasymptotic regime that gives way, however, at even lower energies to $varrho(E)sim E^{-1}|log(E)|^{-mathfrak{x}}$, $1leq mathfrak{x} < 2$. We take this finding as an evidence that similar to the case of dirty d-wave superconductors, also generic bipartite random hopping models may exhibit unconventional (strong-coupling) fixed points for certain kinds of randomly placed scatterers if these are strong enough. Our research suggests that graphene with (effective) vacancy disorder is a physical representative of such systems.
