Getting Ready for Your SSDI Hearing with Multiple Sclerosis

Reviewed by Gretchen Johnson, J.D., LL.M.

You've waited a long time for this. Let's get you ready.

What might the judge ask?

• How often do flares happen?
• How does fatigue shape your day?
• Any trouble with balance, vision or your hands?
• Do you need to nap during the day?

How do I prepare?

• Bring your symptom diary
• Explain your good days and your bad days
• Mention how heat or stress makes things worse

What if I feel okay that day?

Say so. Then explain how often you don't.
