When the Judge Asks About Your Physical Limitations

How Should You Respond?

The judge will ask:

• How far can you walk?
• How much can you lift?
• How long can you sit or stand?

So, even though the judge might ask a "generally-speaking" question, like, "How long can you stand?" what he really means is, "How much standing can you do in an 8-hour workday?" That's the question you need to answer.

Now, to give your best testimony, you have to anticipate these physical-limitation questions, and come up with an accurate estimate ahead of the hearing. And, give the judge specific examples of how your symptoms and physical limitations make it impossible for you to do full-time work.

The processing time for an SSDI claim can be quite long. So the sooner you get in touch with a skilled SSDI attorney, the better. I can help speed your case through the system—especially if your situation is desperate, either financially or medically. I may even be able to request an On the Record (OTR) decision, which would allow you to receive benefits without a hearing.

You deserve a compassionate advocate who will fight for you to receive the SSDI benefits you’re entitled to. Call 301-589-4597 or email me at ds@dsteinlaw.com today for a free consultation about your disability case.
