At your SSD hearing, expect to testify about your daily activities. A judge may ask you how you spend a usual day. The judge will use your answer to figure out whether your daily activities are consistent with the symptoms and limitations you describe. Details are crucial, and “nothing” is a bad answer. Help the judge to “live” your day by providing examples and plenty of details. Describe how long each activity takes and how you feel afterwards. Explain to the judge what you need help with. As always, keep your answers truthful and detailed, and consult with your attorney to ensure you are giving accurate and helpful descriptions for the judge to consider.

6 Common mistakes for disability applicants to avoid

James Publishing

When testifying at your SSD hearing, you should avoid making these mistakes. Don’t argue your case. Don’t try to draw conclusions for the judge, let them draw their own conclusions. Don’t compare yourself to others, it will not help your case. Do not try to play on the judge’s sympathy, it could very well backfire and do not try to demonstrate what a “good “ or honest person you are. Do not be dramatic or put on a show for the judge or give irrelevant testimony, the judge will not consider certain information in your case.

8 Mistakes to avoid when testifying at your disability hearing

James Publishing

If you suffer from a serious physical problem, you may have developed additional emotional impairments. It is important for you to be willing and able to describe your emotional problems to the judge at your disability hearing because it is often the emotional aspect of pain that interferes the most with your ability to work. Common problems that can impair the ability to work include: difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, nervousness, a quick temper, difficulty getting along with others, avoiding people, crying spells, and depression.

Testifying about emotional problems at your disability hearing

In preparation for your hearing before an administrative law judge, you should understand how the administrative law judge will decide whether you are disabled. Disability determination has very little to do with the real world of work. The judge will consider only whether you are capable of doing a job. You will need to prove: Your medical impairments prevent you from performing any significant job you’ve done in the past 15 years and There aren’t many other jobs you are capable of doing considering your age, education and work experience.

How the judge determines disability

James Publishing

If you are wondering if you can qualify for Social Security disability, you can ask yourself a few questions. Are you now working? Are you able to work? Do you have a severe medical impairment? Will your impairment last 12 months or result in death? If you are working full-time, you should not apply for disability. Being able to work weakens your case, but exceptions do exist. Denials of benefits for an impairment not being severe are commonly overturned. If your impairment will last less than a year, you should not apply. It is always a good idea to consult an attorney before making the decision to apply for SSD.

Are you likely to qualify for Social Security Disability?

James Publishing

You can expect a few questions about your physical limitations at your Social Security disability hearing. How far can you walk? How much can you lift? How long can you stand? How long can you sit? You must always give the judge a genuine estimate of what you are and are not capable of, and be sure to provide as much details as possible using several examples. The more detailed and specific answers you provide to the judge, the easier it is for him or her to understand your testimony about your limitations and how they interfere with your ability to work.

A soft tissue injury or spinal injury can result in permanent and painful nerve damage if swelling caused by the primary injury (e.g., a herniated or bulging disc) causes compression on the nerve. Here are common types of tricky questions with tips and examples of how to handle them. When asked multiple questions at one time, ask for a clarification or be clear which part you are responding to. Leading questions (questions that suggest how you are supposed to answer) should be expected, but do not assume the “facts” included in the question are true. When asked to describe what you saw, heard, or experienced, use factual statements. Avoid opinions and personal attacks. If asked a question with poorly defined or vague terms, ask for clarification. Request that complex questions (such as double negatives) be clarified before responding. If asked a question that is argumentative, try to answer the question without getting angry.

Back injuries – injuries to the spine and surrounding soft tissues – are common following a motor vehicle accident or other traumatic event. There are many different kinds of spinal and soft-tissue injuries that can be obtained. A soft tissue injury is an injury to the soft tissues of the body – the muscles, ligaments and tendons. A joint is where two bones meet. The joints in the spine are called facet joints. The facet joints allow the bones of the spine to glide smoothly through a range of motions. Injury to the facet joint will result in the joint becoming stiff, swollen, and tender. A soft tissue injury or spinal injury can result in permanent and painful nerve damage if swelling caused by the primary injury (e.g., a herniated or bulging disc) causes compression on the nerve.

As you begin your personal injury case, here are some basic facts about settlement offers, trial, post-trial motions, and appeals that you should understand. Your attorney cannot settle your case unless you approve and consent. By the same token, the defendant also has a right to a trial, and your attorney cannot force the defendant to settle the case. If your case cannot be settled, it will have to be tried. Most of the time, the trial will be before a jury. If you testify, you will be asked to tell the judge and jury what you know. If you win your case, the defendant can either pay the verdict or file a motion for a new trial. If you lose, you have the same choice: to accept the verdict or to challenge it by making a motion for a new trial. The trial judge may decide to give the losing side (whether you or the defendant) a new trial if the first trial was not fair. The trial judge may decide to give the losing side (whether you or the defendant) a new trial if the first trial was not fair.

There are many ways a personal injury can be of assistance to you and your case. Your attorney will be of particular assistance in the investigation process. He will take on the responsibility of all the research and investigation of the scene of the accident and review relevant documents. They are very helpful in the negotiation process, as well. Insurance adjusters are extremely well-trained negotiators, but an attorney is better. The litigation process, or the process of resolving your claim, is one that can be made significantly easier and less stressful with an attorney on your side.
