This is a question going out to anyone who had to go before an Administrative Law Judge as part of their Social Security/Disability case : I finally have my appointment, I’m asking if you can you give me some firsthand advice on what to expect, anything I should know in advance, anything I should bring with me, what I should or shouldn't say (you can send me a private message if you like). I know my lawyers are going to give me their legal take, but I’m looking for the personal spin from someone who’s been there. Thanks in advance for your advice.
