carlie Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 If you have legal representation, you may not be required to personally attend the ALJ Hearing. I did not have to attend mine and my SSA Claim was granted as Fully Favorable after the ALJ Hearing. carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzai Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 On the other hand, I have an ALJ hearing coming up in a month and also a lawyer, but I have to attend. I am also having an IMO being done next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navydoc2 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Bonzai, who is paying for your IMO? Did your lawyer recommend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzai Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 My lawyer recommended the IMO, even though, in his words: "If you're not disabled, I don't know anyone who is. But I would rather we have the IMO done and not need it, than to need the IMO and not have it.". If I don't win, the lawyer will pay for the IMO and all costs, but if I do win, then I will pay $300 for the IMO. My lawyer has also said, in the worst case, in case I get denied, then he will appeal immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
