Hi all, I am FINALLY having my SSD hearing Jan 21 in federal court. They are not using an ME, but are using a VE at the hearing. I have been given 5 SS disability ratings (numbers) from the neuropsych including dementia, affective mood disorder, memory loss, tbi, and moderately-severe depression all from my head injury with a recommendation to continue to seek SS as I will never fully recover to work again. My neurologist added in stenosis, degenerative disc disease, multiple fusions. My rheumatologist added in full body affected arthritis with some some joint damage, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and myofascial pain syndrome. I am currently taking 13 medications of which only 2 do not cause drowsiness or altered functioning. My gp added in controlled thyroid disease and controlled high blood pressure. My psychiatrist is works for the state and says they cannot fill out the forms (SC), but that with all I have listed and accounted for he believes this will be a walk through and I should get stamped approval. I never count on anything though. I will have my sit down with my attorney in the morning to go over my case and witness testimony. He did my wc in 2006 for the head injury, so I wont fill out all that mess. I plan to just list what body part is injured/hurt and how it affects me daily. Any suggestions for what I should be prepared for or add to my witness statement? I have several people that have volunteered to go be witnesses to my multiple disabilities, but I guess I need to talk with the lawyer. I really do not think if I get it that it will be for physical, but will be mental even though it is the physical that slows me down and hurts so much. I guess it does not matter so long as I get it! Thanks in advance for advice!!
