How to Answer "Work History" Questions from a Social Security Disability Judge
There is an almost 100% probability that the disability judge in your case will ask you about your past work. How do you best prepare yourself for these questions?
First, you and your attorney need to prepare and plan ahead. Since questions about your past relevant work will be posed, you should write out your work history. Your attorney can download a detailed earnings report from your Social Security file to help jog your memory.
The last thing you want to do is get caught off guard by questions about your past work. It undermines your credibility from an eagle-eyed judge. We don't want that!
Secondly, you will want to focus on your jobs over the past 15 years only.
The judge will not ask about jobs prior to that.
Third, you should be humble and completely honest about your past jobs. Don't get caught up in titles - you may have been given the title of "assistant manager" but if you were not engaged in managerial functions, you should focus on the specific tasks you performed. Understand that the skills, knowledge and experience will make your SSD claim more difficult to win.
Fourth, be prepared to speak in specifics about what you did. How much did you lift and carry? How many hours a day were you sitting and standing? Were your job duties mostly the same or were there frequent changes in the workday? Did you have regular interaction with co-workers, supervisors or the public?
Above all else, tell the truth while being humble about your past work. There are no trick questions when it comes to testimony about your past relevant work, but don't leave the judge with a false impression that you did more than what you actually did.
The best advice is to not take go at this alone! I strongly advise you get a seasoned social security disability attorney to help you navigate these difficult waters. I offer 100% free case evaluations and you can get started below.
