i got denied on my ss claim last year on E because the court said that even tho i was disabled, they didn't expect it to last a year. well, it as, of course, and has gotten worse, even with meds and everything. my question is: now that the court has given me a specific reason, that they didn't expect it to last a year, is that the thing my atty has to prove, that it has and is expected to continue? can they throw in other stuff now, after my alj hearing, such as age, education, and the other generic stuff they usually love to deny people with? they mentioned none of that with the original denial, just that they acknowledge that i am currently disabled and unable to work, but that it wasn't expected to last a year.....any advice or anyone have dealt with this kind of denial before?

You have to meet all the requirements - expected to last a year, be severe, prevent you from doing past relevant work, prevent you from doing any work considering your age and education. Yes, there is more to it.
