The hearings are nerve wracking as so much is on the line. do you have a representive with you, advocate or lawyer? As long as all your documentation is good, and you have all the evidence submitted, it is less stress. I got a personal letter from my PCP made out to the judge. This was the document that helped me the most. Your rep is usually with you, the person on the bench, and they also had two reps. that represented the state. They are there to see if there is any kind of work you can do. The ones in the court with me, didn't say anything at all. My lawyer stated my case, the judge read my PCP's letter, and for me, I was granted the disability then and there. He didn't make me wait. However, getting the money, and start of benefits took a little time. I wish you all the best. It isn't fun going through it, but just tell the truth when the judge asks you a question. I think I was asked two questions. ginnie (this was for the state of florida)
