How To Testify At Your Social Security Disability Hearing

If the Social Security Administration (SSA) rejects your initial application, you will most likely have to request a disability hearing with an administrative law judge (ALJ) to have a chance of being approved for money and benefits. The good news is that the administrative hearing is the stage of the appeals process where most federal Social Security Disability (SSD) claims are won.

About the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing

Although it is an official legal proceeding, most ALJ hearings are held in less formal settings such as a small conference room. You, your attorney and/or a licensed professional, and a judge are the only people who have to attend. A court reporter and government medical or vocational experts may also be present. You are allowed to bring witnesses in and to invite family or friends to attend as well.
