I think my case was pretty complex and unique. Kathleen was fair to me. Before the hearing, I honestly didn’t expect to be approved, despite having a talented attorney, because mental issues are relatively difficult to prove, plus her rate of approval is low. However, I left the hearing with a glimmer of hope because I felt like she asked almost all of the relevant questions, along with my attorney and the vocational expert, and I just answered honestly and to the point. I even got emotional about some horrible memories, so I think that helped. The hearing lasted a little more than an hour. Kathleen kept her distance emotionally, just trying to be unbiased, but she wasn’t mean. After reading her letter of approval a few weeks afterwards, I could tell that she really cared and tried to imagine what it’s like to walk in my shoes. I do believe that justice was finally done for me. It’s been a very long, very difficult struggle, but hopefully someday I will be able to re-enter the workforce.
I got a bench decision yesterday. One of the nicest Judges I have ever met. Changed onset date and approved me at hearing. GOD Bless You Judge Winters for making my life better. Thank You From the Bottom of My Heart.
