In previous posts, I have discussed at length what actually happens at a Social Security Disability hearing. However, I have failed to discuss the topic of video hearings (i.e. teleconference hearings via satellite), which are occurring more and more frequently these days as part of the SSA's overall plan to reduce the Social Security Disability backlog. While most of you will experience a more traditional hearing in which you are actually in the room with the Judge and/or expert witnesses, some of you will undoubtedly experience the hearing in this alternative video conferencing type format, so it's a good idea to know what it's all about.
