You should get an attorney, sometimes if you go into a hearing without one the judge will postpone your hearing until you get one. Judges want the hearing to be as fair as possible, and they actually are more worried, at least mine was, that we have covered all our bases. Mine postponed my hearing because she didn't like that the Medical SS Dr. was not prepared and pretty much said I could do light work when she was looking at my record and not coming to the same conclusion. Since I won she knew damn well the SS medical expert was not being neutral. Hell, it was a SS hired Dr. so it is in his best interest to make sure I get denied.
