IF I OWN MY OWN BUSINESS AND HAVE A DISABLING CONDITION THAT PREVENTS ME FROM TECHNICALLY "DOING WORK" WITHIN MY BUSINESS, AM I ELIGIBLE FOR RECEIVING SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY BENEFITS?

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO PREPARE FOR MY SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY HEARING?

The most important thing you can do to get ready for your hearing is to be sure to come PREPARED.

For starters, you'll want to make sure all of your medical records and evidence have been properly submitted to the Social Security Administration. Then, you'll want to be sure you know what disabilities you are claiming and bring with you any documents or statements that describe how your disability impacts you on a daily basis.

At the hearing, judges will be determining your physical and/or mental limitations. They will want to review the type of work you've performed and assess your ability to continue with these job functions. They'll want to know the effect of your limitations on a daily basis and might inquire about how often you see the doctor(s) and effects of any medications you might be taking regularly. Being prepared to answer these questions is a good way to prepare yourself.
