Handling your Social Security Disability Appeal & Hearing on your own could be a huge mistake.
Without thorough hearing preparation and proper presentation of all key facts and evidence needed for a favorable decision, you are risking loss of the disability money benefits you earned throughout your working life. When given approximately one hour to present all of your evidence at the disability hearing, you must be certain the issues are quickly defined, your testimony clearly presented, key medical records highlighted and effective cross examination of the government’s vocational expert performed.
There is a five step sequential evaluation process that must be followed to award Social Security Disability benefits. This rather complicated method is based upon medical and legal analysis, interpretations and conclusions which are challenging for your disability attorney to handle. You certainly should want a disability representative who has a law degree equal to that of the Administrative Law Judge deciding your case. Moreover, there are certain Federal regulations that must be followed when evaluating credibility issues that will determine if all of your valuable testimony will be believed by the disability judge.
