Today was my hearing for my disability! Well, I wasn't all that excited because I've had a sinus infection/headcold that's left me bed bound for the last 4 days. Luckily, I've managed to be a little less sick today so that this thing could get done.
I basically met with my lawyer about 10 minutes before. He went over some last minute things and then we were in the room with the judge. It's a small setting and nothing crazy. Basically it's the judge, two other people, and the lawyer with you.
The judge asks you a few questions regarding your health, day to day activities, work, and so on. For me it took about an hour, but from what my lawyer said, it could take maybe two depending on the records the judge has and what they need to know to decide on the case.
It was a little nerve racking at first, but that went away once we were getting in to questions. Now that the hearing is done, there is a waiting period. It's anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks before I'll hear back on a decision.
Hopefully, I'll hear back soon and win my case!
Wish me luck!
