I just had my SSI hearing a month ago. I was really nervous. It was my lawyer, the lady that takes down notes and the SSI guy that says he believes you can work. The judge was on live video screen. The judge has already gotten you medical reports before this meeting and has gone over them, he will have a list of your medicines. He will ask simple questions, such as when did you last work, have they changed your meds and others similar. Then the guy from SSI will say that you can work in such and such industry as it is not very taxing on you. When he said that about me, the judge looked at his papers then back at the screen and told him I do not do well in social situations so no I could not work. Then he approved me. It took less than 15 minutes from start to finish. It will be a lot easier than you imagine.
