Disability - Technical Issues

Many people fail to understand the technical nature of a Social Security disability hearing.  The hearing will involve such technical matters as past relevant work, transferable skills, erosion of the occupational base, unskilled sedentary work, significant gainful activity and residual functional capacity--to mention a few.

A layman with no training or experience in disability hearings cannot be expected to function in the pressure cooker of a hearing room.  

How do you respond when the vocational expert testifies that you can't perform any of your past relevant work, but there are 150,000 unskilled sedentary jobs in the US and 15,000 of these jobs within your state that you could perform?   If allowed to stand unchallenged, this testimony will direct a finding of not disabled under Social Security rules.

There are dozens of technical issues that you must be prepared to address, question or refute if you are going to prevail in a disability hearing.  The best way to do this is to take a qualified and experienced disability advocate to the hearing with you.  Good representation is not expensive, it's priceless.
