If you apply for Social Security Disability benefits and are denied, you have a right to appeal that denial and ask for a hearing.
At the hearing, you present medical records as evidence, expert opinions in the form of Medical Source Statements, witness statements, and you will testify on your own behalf.
You can also argue that certain laws support your claim for disability benefits, such as the Listings, GRID Rules, or other Regulations. You will have the opportunity to cross-examine any expert witnesses that testify, such as vocational experts, medical experts, or psychiatrists. Then, a Judge, called an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), will review all the evidence and will decide your case.
At this stage, it is extremely important to have an attorney assist you with developing your proof and evidence. A disability hearing is essentially your trial. The ALJ is your fact-finder, which is essentially your “jury”. You will need to present a strong legal case to win your claim for benefits.We help our clients with Appeals and Hearings and we have substantial evidence.
