May I represent myself at a Social Security Disability Hearing? Rephrased:  May I Experiment on My First Disability Hearing, Using Myself as the Guinea Pig?  Beware:  Social Security will have a "vocational expert" at your hearing.  This "expert" testimony can cause you to lose your claim. The Judge will ask the vocational witness to find jobs that you supposedly can still do.  If the "expert" finds jobs you can still perform (and they will), you will lose your case.   Below are 2 examples of case-losing jobs, actually used by vocational witnesses to get claims denied: JOB # 1    Surveillance System Monitor - DOT No. (Dictionary of Occupational Titles) 379.367-010.  The expert will testify that there are about 89,000 such jobs in the US economy and about 1,500 in the regional economy.  This job is Sedentary exertion level (performed mostly from a seated position) - and has an SVP of 2 (can be learned in only a few h...

www.VeteransDisabilityHuntsville.com www.VeteransDisabilityHuntsville       Contact:  (256) 799-0297   There has been a lot of news lately about problems in the Veterans Administration (VA) and how it is not adequately serving the needs of veterans, especially in the area of medical treatment. What many veterans do not know is that they don't have to depend solely on the VA for financial help.  Disabled veterans are also eligible to apply for Social Security disability benefits, which can pay up to $2,600 per month in cash benefits. Getting Social Security disability benefits will not reduce benefits from the VA.  Veterans who qualify can receive full VA benefits plus Social Security disability benefits. This is because veterans paid into the Social Security disability program during their years of active military service, and afterward.  They are covered by Social Security just as any other individual who paid into t...

Representing the disabled - recovering benefits  www.ForsytheFirm.com     www.DisabilityNashville.com _________________________ SSDI .  Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)  is the regular Social Security disability program for insured workers, often called Title II.  By paying FICA taxes withheld from your payroll (and matched by your employer), you become covered by disability insurance from Social Security.  Generally, if you have worked 5 out of the past 10 years, you are covered by Social Security disability insurance and should file a Title 2 claim--often simply called "Social Security disability insurance" or SSDI.  As stated, it is also called Title 2 (II). The amount of your monthly benefit under Title II will be based on your age and average earnings in the past.  The maximum for a non-blind individual in 2014 is $2,642 per mont...

Here are questions we often receive about Social Security disability for mental disorders: May I receive Social Security benefits for a mental condition?  Yes.  If the condition is severe enough to prevent full-time, consistent work, you may be approved for benefits.  You will need the same basic type of proof that would be required for a physical illness. Do I have to be in a hospital or institution to get disability benefits?    No. The requirement is that you are unable to perform consistent, full-time work because of your impairment.  You need not be hospitalized. Does getting disability benefits for a mental condition imply that I am "crazy" or "dangerous"?  No, not at all.  The old stigmas about mental disease have pretty much been eliminated by medical science.  We now see these conditions as an illness.  However, they can be just as disabling as a physical illness. Will I be degraded, put down, or made to feel ashamed ...

The Social Security Administration has long been known for attempting to terminate disability benefits to beneficiaries (those who have been approved for benefits).   In 1984 President Reagan signed the Social Security Disability Benefits Reform Act of 1984.  This law placed two important protections in place for disability benefit receipients: (1)  There must be significant medical improvement before benefits may be terminated; and (2)  the beneficiary must now be able to engage in substantial gainful activity (work). A "Continuing Disability Review" (CDR) is a process whereby Social Security reviews an individual who is receiving disability benefits to determine whether the benefits should now be terminated.  Most individuals who are under age 50 can expect a CDR about every 3 years.  However, due to lack of funding, Social Security has not been able to conduct as many CDRs as they were supposed to.  Congress has fixed that now by allocat...
