It is a shame that it takes so long for a Social Security Disability decision. Make sure that you let your Congress person know that you want the time it takes for disability determinations reduced.
Most of us learn through repetition.
For example, it takes us several times trying a new skill or task before we catch on.
It takes us several times hearing something before we notice it or pay attention.
This is something important to remember for your Social Security Disability case.
It even takes your doctor several times hearing your problems and how they limit you before she understands and puts it in her notes and records.

The more they see your complaints and problems and limitations listed in the medical records and hear you explain it in testimony, then the better the chance they have of getting how it restricts your daily activities.
When you go to your doctor make sure you repeat your concerns each time.

Winning your case depends on your medical records and what they say.
Do not forget to repeat, repeat and repeat.

You must know why the Judges are asking the questions.
You must know how to answer the questions.
You must know why the Vocational Consultant is testifying, and what to do when it is your turn to question the Vocational Consultant.
A lawyer only gets paid if you win your case.
You will always get more money than the lawyer.
If you win and start getting your monthly check that is 100 percent yours.
