Re: What does the VE do??

Whatever your profession was prior to your disability this "vocational expert" will advise the judge if you will be able to perform in the same type profession if you were a professional (high paying job)

Or

Perform in the same type of job if in the labor/manufacturer/clerical type of profession (high to low paying type jobs)

Or

Depending on your *age* AND *gender* trainable for another profession and/or type of job.

Example: I had a high paying job & was employed for over 35 years before I was *disabled*. There was no way this *vocational expert* was going to advise the judge that I was *retrainable* AND find another employer who will hire me at my age (53 years young @ the time) for anything comparable to the salary I was previously making!!!! Case Closed.

Good luck at the hearing.

You have nothing to worry about. A shoe in for a favorable decision. The older you are, the better your chances.
Employers rarely hire *healthy* "Baby Boomers".

The VE just talks to the judge & not to you.
You will NOT be tested.

Good luck!

Re: What does the VE do??

Sorry to interuped , but my education level is a GED. The only kind of work I ever did was labor , I hate to say this but I'm not very book smart. After I recieved ny GED I joined the U.S.Army for 8 years , came out of there to a maintenance job for the holidayInn , left there to work for a glass company ( installing windows ) then moved on to work for a warehouse where I operated a fork lift and unloaded and loaded trailers. I know I can never do this type of work due to my back , and I'm 41 yrs old, what would they say I can do ? I have pain everyday and had 3 spine surgeries , I recieve injections in my spine to ease the pain along with percocets and Morphine
