Re: [epilepsy] SS Disability

 

Thanks Kelly, that's good dvice.
Although my lawyer said that this is the TOUGHEST JUDGE out there.
My lawyer even told me that that he will FIND or try to find any of the smallest reason to deny you.
I doubt if the person was missing a leg, arms and blind that he/she would be accepted.
That's how tough this judge sounds.
By the way, how did your hearing go?
What kind of questions were u asked etc?
Since I think you went in on the same problem as me, right?
thanks

I had my hearing last summer. Here is my advice:

-call the judge by what your lawyer calls him/her. Only use Your Honor
if he indicates this because some who do these hearings are not actually
appointed to the bench.
-Be short in your answers. Answer the question that is asked and don't
elaborate.
-Be honest, the worst thing to do is say something way out in left field
that doesn't match the documentation you have
-Don't worry if you are emotional, but don't fake emotions
-Don't swear or put anyone down
-Be there on time. Plan to be three early so you won't be late.
-if something has happened that has changed your medical record fairly
recently make sure you or your lawyer bring a copy with you to add to
the record in case it isn't in there. The lawyer should present it.
-Don't freak out about it. If your lawyer is any good at this they most
likely already know if you meet a listing or have evidence of "other
disabling conditions" and what the outcome is likely to be.
