Re: Re: Social Security Hearing

[Guest guest]

I took my wife and daughter with me for extra witness and to make sure I

didn't forget something, also to make sure i could get back home. I

certainly am not that sure even now, I still usually have my wife with me

when I go out, just in case. Of course, that was made clear at the hearing,

too.

When I went to the hearing, there were only the judge and his assistant, and

my wife and daughter. Now, as I understand, there are also an employment

expert, a physical therapist type, and maybe more. I guess that's for your

lawyer to help with.
