How to Answer "Work History" Questions from a Social Security Disability Judge

This podcast episode emphasizes the critical importance of preparing for a disability hearing, particularly regarding the testimony about past work. Jonathan Ginsberg, a Social Security Disability attorney, outlines how judges focus on work history from the last 15 years, underscoring the necessity for organized, honest, and specific descriptions of job roles and their physical and mental demands. By ensuring that claimants avoid demonstrating transferable skills and instead highlight the actual demands of their previous jobs, listeners can significantly improve their chances of a favorable outcome in their hearings.
