SS hearing

[Guest guest]

Subject: Social Security: VE of MD at your hearing?

What I am wondering is whether anyone out there who has not been

conversing with me via e-mail already, has had a SS hearing. If so, at

your hearing did they have a Vocational Expert [VE] and/or an MD

there? If they did, do you recall if you were notified beforehand of

their attendence?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Steve,

I had my SS hearing on11/2/00 in south Florida. My lawyer had obtained a

disposition from my neurologist and a statement from my psychiatrist

prior to the hearing. That way the doctors did not have to attend the

hearing.

The hearing went quickly with no questions asked. The judge liked the

statement from my psych dr., because she included a GAF (Global

Assessment of Functioning) score. This gives a measurement of a person's

ability to function which makes it easier for the judge to see the level

of disability.
