My Social Security Hearing Today

I had a telephone hearing before an Administrative Law Judge for Social Security disability today. A Vocational Expert was present. That individual said there were some jobs in the national economy for me, but a job at 15 hours per week (what I’m doing now) wouldn’t be competitive.

I discussed the medications I’m taking with the judge, as well as my work history and difficulties I’ve had with each job.

At the end of the hearing, the judge said he would get updated records from my mental health provider, then review my file and the testimony at the hearing and issue a decision. That could take months.
 
Will you be able to support yourself financially while you wait? It sounds stressful for you, I hope you will hear soon.
 
I hope it turns out well for you Andrew, but that's a long wait. I wish you the best results.
