What Really Goes On At A Social Security Disability Hearing?
Disability hearings can be scary propositions. Claimant’s who finally get a hearing date know that they have already been denied once by the Federal government. Now a Federal Judge is going to review the case and decide whether the initial application should have been approved. There is nothing fun about a courtroom. Nor is there anything calming about a Federal Judge.
Nonetheless, hearings are an important step in the disability process if claimant’s are determined to be deemed disabled by the Social Security Administration. But while most people understand what a hearing is, many misunderstand what actually takes place at a hearing.
Not every hearing is the same and in some cases, the cast of characters is different. But the goal of the hearing is always the same: to elicit testimony from a claimant as to why they are unable to perform in the workplace.
