			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve finally received your Notice of Hearing after waiting several months. While you skim through the notice, you see a paragraph warning you that an <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/library/new-york-city-social-security-disability-lawyers-disability-law.cfm" target="_self">expert will be testifying at your hearing</a>. Why in the world would an <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/library/new-york-city-social-security-disability-lawyers-disability-law.cfm" target="_self">expert be needed</a> at your <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/video/how-to-prepare-for-your-social-security-disability-hearing.cfm" target="_self">hearing</a>?</p>
<p>Sometimes, the Judge presiding over <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/video/how-to-prepare-for-your-social-security-disability-hearing.cfm" target="_self">your hearing</a> calls upon an expert to assist them in determining <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/video/how-to-prepare-for-your-social-security-disability-hearing.cfm" target="_self">whether or not you are disabled</a>. <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/library/new-york-city-social-security-disability-lawyers-disability-law.cfm" target="_self">But just what kind of expert will be testifying at your hearing</a>? What exactly will they be testifying about? Have you ever spoke to, or even been evaluated by this expert?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/library/new-york-city-social-security-disability-lawyers-disability-law.cfm" target="_self">Expert testimony can make or break your case</a>. If the testimony that an expert provides is favorable, the better chance you have to win your case. If the testimony is unfavorable, you, or <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/video/the-real-story-behind-attorney-fees-in-social-security-disability-claims.cfm" target="_self">your attorney</a> has an opportunity to generate favorable testimony by cross-examining that expert.</p>
<p>Bottom line is, don&#8217;t worry if there is an expert scheduled to testify at your hearing. <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/library/new-york-city-social-security-disability-lawyers-disability-law.cfm" target="_self">For a great piece on the type of experts that might show up at your hearing and how to handle them, click here to check out this detailed article</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In order to receive <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/practice_areas/social-security-disability4.cfm" target="_self">Social Security Disability benefits</a>, you must first be <a href="http://www.markhofflaw.com/library/ny-disability-attorneys-disability-evaluation-process.cfm" target="_self">rendered disabled</a> by the <a href="http://www.ssa.gov" target="_blank">Social Security Administration</a>.
