Thanks for advice to go to local social security office, picked up CE exam report, only thing that worries me, examinator says I wasn't trying my best, I beg to differ. Do you think this will have a bearing?

You might want to be retested on your own prior to the hearing if you have insurance or can qualify for Medicaid or free/low cost county psych services. |

http://www.nolo.com/legal-encycloped...isability.html The MMPI is the test that was previously used by SS to determine if a person was malingering. It's apparently become very controversial. Did you undergo that test earlier in the application process? I'm not sure if the ALJ would consider the results now or not. http://www.aalj.org/system/files/doc...ossaresvts.pdf You definitely need to discuss this issue with your attorney. |

Did you see my post #20?
If you haven't had Physical and Mental RFC forms fill out by your docs, it could be of significant help to you. http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/rfc...statement.html http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/rfcdownloadhome.html http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/res...ental-residual If you don't have treating docs at this point, it would be a good idea to make that a priority--even if you have to reschedule your hearing to gather more evidence. In general it's just a very bad idea to count on the examinations and test results from SS docs. They can be accurate, but they can also be superficial simply based on the amount of time they spend with you. And SS will question your credibility if you haven't actively been treating all of your disabling conditions since your Alleged Onset Date. |

I've learned more from you in the last two days than anyone including my attorneys. I will now sit back, wait on hearing number 5 to be scheduled, and hope that an OTR can be worked out. Thanks again!

I would read up on the grid rules if you don't understand them 100% so that you're prepared for court. http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/top...grid-rules-age |
