The judge asked the VE six differnt scenerios. I don't remember the first four in particular, but the VE said I would be able to do certain jobs for these four sceneriosl. The fifth one regarded what if the claimant had to lay vertical for up to 15 minutes 3 times a day. The VE hesitated and then the judge suggested to her "What if she could lay in her car?' the the VE said yes. I was crying and kind of shaking my head no a little bit. But the last question was what if the claimant missed a day of work every week, she said no i would not be able to work. My attorney had told me he would cross examine the VE if she stated I could work, but he didn't do that. I only had about 30 seconds to talk to him afterward and asked him why he didn't cross examine her and he told me the last scenerio was enough. I am not conviced of this and wanted an expert opinion. I have Fibro/CFS and depression severly since late 2008 I have a really important question regarding my hearing on November 30. The judge asked the VE six differnt scenerios.

Can the judge still say that you can still do certain jobs or is he forced to use the VE's testimony.
