Social Security Disability Hearing Testimony
If your initial Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) application and request for reconsideration are denied, you can request a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ.) The testimony you give in that hearing can mean the difference between a successful appeal, and another denial. At the Law Offices of Bruce K. Billman, we have the knowledge and experience in SSDI law to prepare you for this crucial part of the process.

A Golden Opportunity
The important thing to realize about the Social Security disability hearing, is that it presents SSDI claimants with an important opportunity: to present themselves as human beings for the first time in the process. When you walk into the courtroom, you have the opportunity to demonstrate to the judge that you are a well-meaning, dignified person who really wants to work, but is unable to because of your disability.
In preparing for these hearings, we will stress the importance of giving testimony that highlights these important truths. We will demonstrate to the judge that if you could be working, you would be. You have no other choice but to ask for SSDI benefits.
Knowing the Judges
Another aspect of Social Security disability hearings is that the outcome of these events is determined by one person: the judge. At the Law Offices of Bruce K. Billman, we have decades of experience working in the SSDI system and understand that knowledge is certainly power when it comes to Social Security disability hearing judges.
In Richmond, Virginia, for example, there are seven ALJ judges. Each one has a different personality and a different way of looking at cases. As we prepare you for your testimony, we will stress the importance of knowing who your audience is. Judges are people too. You have the truth on your side. It is important to know how to express that truth, depending on who is listening to your testimony.
