Social security disability hearing

Has anyone had to do this to get benefits back? I have one coming some time but they don’t tell me when.

What’s it like?
How should I prepare?

I’m nervous already.

Do you have to go to court for this?

@nfy Yes before a judge

Wow I hope I don’t have to do this.
I just had my third form review in three years to determine if I’m still disabled.

I don’t know what to say to put you at ease.

Well you are doing it the right way.
Has you doc written a letter about your situation?

I think you’ll be fine, your lawyer is going to do the leg work.
Just curious in case I have to do this, was the lawyer expensive?

Yes thousands. Lucky my parents can help me

Well I guess I will cross that bridge if the time comes.
I wish you the best, I know it’s hard not to think about something like this all the time.
I would be doing the same thing.
Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks I don’t know if it’s next month or a year

In the meantime try to find something you enjoy to take your mind off of it.
Your lawyer should be taking care of all the details.

Thanks I will 15

@TheVoices, have you worked at all?

I have a hearing Tuesday morning. I’m worried.

Did you hire a lawyer @anon4362788?

No. None wanted my case cuz I was self employed low wage

@anon4362788 So you’re working. Have you ever made substantial gainful employment wages?
