The main part of your Social Security Disability hearing is the Judge asking you questions.

Always keep in mind that the Judge is trying to decide if you can work.

When she is asking what you do at home, she is weighing whether this translates into being able to work full time.

When she asks why you cannot work a sit down job, she is deciding whether it makes sense that you cannot do a simple job with limited lifting.

Remember that most jobs require you to be use your hands and fingers a majority of the day.

Remember that pain reduces the ability to concentrate.

Remember that if you miss more than 1 to 2 days a month you will not be able to keep your job.

The Judges questions are asked for a reason.

Your answers should explain how your problems limit your activities.

What does this mean for people on disability?


Is Mental Illness alone, without significant physical problems, enough for you to be found disabled?

Social Security Judges will find a person who has severe mental illness disabled, even without physical problems.

However, you must show more than treatment with a primary care doctor who prescribes your depression medication.

You will need treatment with a counselor, or a psychiatrist.

You will most likely need to show hospitalizations for your mental illness, possibly multiple hospital stays.

Extreme treatment, such as shock treatment will also be important.

The most important thing to remember is that limitations are the name of the game in Social Security Disability.

If the Administrative Law Judge believes your mental illness will keep you from concentrating enough to stay on task, and your problems make you miss work once a week, then you will be found disabled.
