I am not sure what the answer is Hopeless....after I was denied I hired a disability firm and they took care of everything except my daily journal of how I was doing with my issues and my medical appts and tests. I did not have a hearing, only a decision of fully favorable, and in that document, everything was commented on. ssi's dr's did not agree with any of what my doctors said, which I can't believe that they could read my dr's reports and not agree with any of it. But every bit of my conditions were given weight in that letter of fully favorable...he left nothing out , maybe it was just luck.
I really wish u the best of luck with your hearing. keep us updated
