Your Social Security disability hearing may be the most valuable 45 minutes you have ever spent.
The hearing is important because it is your best chance to be approved for Social Security disability benefits.
Only about 30 percent of claimants get approved without a hearing. The rest are headed for a hearing where the approval rate is higher. Here are some things that make a Social Security disability hearing so important to you:
1) It is the first opportunity you are given to wit down face to face with a decision maker and explain your situation.
2) You can present new evidence, such as medical records, letters of reference or witnesses.
3) Your representative or attorney may appear with you and offer assistance, especially in addressing technical or legal matters that you may not be famililar with.
4) Your case will receive much more personalized attention at the hearing than at any previous step of the determination process.
