An Albuquerque Social Security lawyer can discuss what type of testimony you can expect at your disability hearing.
Work History
Your disability attorney in Albuquerque may discuss your work history with you. This will include all gainful activity that you completed within the last 15 years.
Education
Your attorney may ask you about your education, including the highest level of education that you completed.
Medical History
Expect your Albuquerque Social Security lawyer to ask you about your medical history. Be prepared to discuss your symptoms. If you experience pain as a symptom, be able to talk about how long bouts of pain last, how often they occur and how intense they are. Also, be prepared to discuss limitations that your impairments have on you. For example, do they cause the claimant to be able to walk less or require him or her to take breaks? An administrative law judge may also ask about a claimant’s typical day and how it has changed since the individual became disabled.
Other Witnesses
Your Social Security disability attorney may call other witnesses to testify on your behalf. This individual may talk about how he or she has observed your impairments and how they usually affect you. A lay witness may be called. An administrative law judge may call a vocational expert or doctor to testify in your case.
