Social Security disability hearings follow a fairly consistent pattern. Although every judge has his or her own practices, by in large, the information required will be roughly the same, regardless of the judge.
Since your hearing is your only opportunity to interact face to face with a judge, it just makes sense to prepare for those questions that always come up at hearings. You will hurt your chances at an approval if you do not prepare – the last thing you want to do is hem and haw trying to come up with an answers. You are going to be nervous anyway so always prepare ahead of time with your lawyer.
In this video I talk about those questions that always seem to come up. Though this video should not be used as a substitute for a pre-hearing conference with your lawyer, it should help you start with your preparation.
