Has anyone been through a Social security hearing or a hearing for state disabilty or medicaid?

Question

I don't need to hear how hard it is or the time limits or what I need to do. I have a hearing, by telephone rather than in person next week for my medicaid appeal and state cash assistance. I am told my DHS worker and her superviser will be in the same room as me on the phone with the Judge in Lansing. My attorny will be on the 3 way phone and my 2 witnesses, (my best friend and a pastor and my case manager from county mental health), to answer questions. What kind of questions do that they ask? And I offered to have more witnesses or written affidaveds from people that have seen my condition and know me, but I was told by my attorny that too many witnesses etc...could piss the judge off because it take too much time. Does that sound right? What have you been through with it? Please don't message telling me how hard it is to get help and SS etc..I know. I will add help for anyone reading, that contacting your state represenative helps. It took only 2 weeks after to get help.

Answer 1

They get very specific on your condition and the type of physical activities you can and cannot do, and some of the questions seem kind of silly, but there is a point to them.

Affidavits aren't usually as powerful as actual live people that can be questioned, so they are a waste of time from that point of view.

Your only course of action is to have everyone answer honestly and see what happens. I will tell you if there is something specific you want him to hear, SAY IT EARLY! Right up front, you may not get a chance later.. :) good luck.
