What To Expect – And How To Prepare
If your initial application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) was denied, you may have to attend a disability hearing during your appeal. A hearing takes place before a Georgia administrative law judge. You have the right to appear with your attorney. These are some disability hearing steps that you should complete before the hearing:
- Gather your medical records, personal journals and any other documentation
- Get professional opinions from medical experts
- Review your initial application and other documents
- Ask your attorney any questions you have
On the day of your hearing, it is crucial to show up on time. Dress professionally and have a clean appearance. During the hearing, try to remain calm and respectful, even if you feel frustrated by the process. Although you have the right to represent yourself, you have a much better chance of receiving benefits if you work with a disability claims attorney.
