I have an appointment for a medical review/assessment tomorrow! this is for my SSI disability case. I'm meeting a person I've never seen before, and kinda feel like the fate of my case is in her hands now. so I'm really really nervous and scared. I've been denied more than once before so I need things to work this time. anyone got any good advice or tips?

A few things that I think helped me:
Be as honest as you can..don't minimize your symptoms
Let them know about why you can no longer do your specific job
Tell them your doctor decided you should ask for disability (if he did)

The guy I met was a total jerk. He didn't let me really express my condition. I called the lady at SSDI about my case and explained how I felt about him and she assured me he is only part of the equation.

Here's to hoping things turn out in your favor.
