Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income Claims

What is a hearing?

The hearing, which must be requested within 60 days of receiving the reconsideration denial, is the crucial step of the appeal process where you will have the best chance of winning. More than half of all hearings result in the claimant receiving benefits. An administrative law judge will preside and testimony is taken under oath, but the hearing is informal. Strict rules of evidence do not apply.

Medical records will be accepted as evidence. The judge or your attorney will ask you about your medical condition, medical history, abilities, education, training, work experience and the limitations caused by your disability. You may present witnesses and you have the right to cross-examine medical or vocational experts who are sometimes called by the judge to testify. You or your attorney may make a closing argument that you are entitled to benefits under social security regulations.
