What the vocational expert says during your Social Security Hearing is very important. It can make the difference between winning and losing your case.
For that reason alone I think you should seriously consider hiring a lawyer to represent you in your Social Security Disability case.
I have mentioned before that there is no cost unless you win your Social Security case, and then fees are limited to 25% of back benefits or $6,000 whichever is the lower amount. Compared to your lifetime benefits and Medicare coverage the fee is a very small amount.
The concern is that vocational expert can make it look like you had transferable skills that may not be correct, or testify that your limitations will allow you to perform a line of work that will make you not disabled.
