I would just like to know what to expect and what kind of "tests" I will be having to go thru.
Work experience is roofing/masonary. Highly physical demanding work. However sitting/standing provides a great deal of pain and discomfort. I find my self lying down several times a day to alleviate some of the pain in the L5-S1 area and T5-T6.
Any advice or knowledge of these tests would be a great help, I have 3 years put into this SSI and dont want to loose it at the last minute.
Thanks

They are basically looking to see if you can substain substantial activity. I took one of my clients to an exam. The nurse dropped something, my client went to pick it up, I put my hand on his leg to hold him back. Only do something until it hurts, and say it hurts. Just do what you can and no more.
