I had my ALJ hearing and the judge didn’t think I was able to attend the hearing because he asked me if I felt confident that my attorney could represent me but I didn’t remember. We had a conversation just before the hearing and I just didn’t remember because of my disability, the cognitive issue, which affects my memory drastically.
So now the hearing is postponed until I get a CE exam which was previously scheduled but canceled by the social security administration.
I am staying at a homeless shelter and they won’t let me keep my dog here. It is devastating. Any advice for expediting the exam and next hearing or housing options for zero income people?
