Ran across some tips regarding the President’s recent case before the United States Court of Appeals.
Let’s steal them and apply them to your Social Security Disability case.
Cannot hurt right?
First, put your best evidence forward in the record.
In Social Security disability cases this means make sure you go to your doctor early and often and get all your complaints in the medical records so that SSA will see them.
Do not forget to ask for tests such as xrays, MRIs, heart tests, EMGs, etc.
Second, be prepared.
In your disability case this means know the questions the Judge will ask and why.
I help you do this from day 1 and we think it about these questions starting with the application, the question packets SSA sends out to you, and continuing with preparation for the hearing before the Administrative Law Judge.
Third, do not give the Judge a reason to rule against you.
This means do not do something to make the Judge angry.
Judges are supposed to follow the rules and the law, but they are people too.
Make sure that you are polite and answer the questions respectfully and on point.
Why antagonize the person who holds your future in their hands?
