It is the examiner's opinion, but the court recognizes her as an expert, so they value that opinion very highly. Since you haven't been tested by your own docs, there is no test to compare this one against.
(When my son took an IQ test in elementary school, it came back lower than expected, and it turned out he had missed an entire page. He gained 40+ points when retested. Mistakes happen.)
You could have an IQ in the genius range and still receive SSDI for depression. The problem is if there is a question that you purposefully lowered your IQ score, than it would also make sense if you exaggerated your depression as well.
Please ask your attorney if retesting is needed while you still have time to do something about it.
