Obviously you were not attempting to set yourself up for SSDI benefits 16 years ago by seeking help for your depressive order.
The question the ALJ might ask is, since you've been struggling to receive SSDI benefits since 2006, did you purposefully underperform on your IQ test? If she decides that you were malingering about your IQ, she would then question if you exaggerated the severity of your depression as well.
If this is the less experienced attorney, and you haven't spoken with the senior attorney about if you need to be retested, than I encourage you to write to the senior attorney asap.
