How do you prepare for your Social Security disability hearing? Make sure you know whether the hearing will be in person or by video or by telephone. If it's in person, make sure you know where it will be held and how you'll get there. If it's by video, make sure you have a quiet place with good wifi and make sure you have a device that can handle video and audio. It's better if the device is a tablet or laptop. Holding a cell phone in your hand isn't such a good way of doing it. If it's be telephone, expect a call near the scheduled time for the hearing and make sure you have a quiet place.
What about preparing to testify? You really don't need to prepare. This isn't a math test. You can't study for it. If you really feel you have to do something to prepare, ask yourself a couple of questions:\
- Why did I stop work?
- Why haven't I gone back to work?
Those questions may be harder than you think. You may not have been thinking too clearly since you've been out of work. You've been under a lot of stress. You've had little time to ask yourself these basic questions.

Please, please take the time to be able to name your doctors, hospitals, and medications. You can and should study your own medical history, otherwise the hearing will derail and may delay your getting a decision in the time frame you want.
