The main part of your Social Security Disability hearing is the Judge asking you questions.
Always keep in mind that the Judge is trying to decide if you can work.
When she is asking what you do at home, she is weighing whether this translates into being able to work full time.
When she asks why you cannot work a sit down job, she is deciding whether it makes sense that you cannot do a simple job with limited lifting.
Remember that most jobs require you to be use your hands and fingers a majority of the day.
Remember that pain reduces the ability to concentrate.
Remember that if you miss more than 1 to 2 days a month you will not be able to keep your job.
The Judges questions are asked for a reason.
Your answers should explain how your problems limit your activities.
