How Do You Prepare For An SSI Administrative Hearing Before A Judge?
Many applicants for SSI disability are denied benefits during the application and appeal process, with more than 90 percent of those applicants having to get an SSI attorney to represent their case before a Social Security Administrative Law Judge in an informal hearing. You need to be prepared to answer questions posed by your social security attorney and to provide any follow-up questions or requests for more detailed information from the judge. There are some things you can do to help the process go smoothly and more effectively. Fill out the Administrative Law Judge Preparation Form when it is sent to you and return it within a few days so your attorney can prepare the questions she will want to ask you on the type and extent of your disability, including each symptom, the pain that you experience, and factors that may aggravate your condition such as climbing stairs, lifting, and more. Make a copy of the completed Law Judge Preparation Form and spend as much time as you need going
