[QUOTE="I'm Hangin' on by a Thread, post: 37699, member: 2379"] Ohhh Janet - I will be crossing every thing I have. I just had my hearing on March 7. (I am 99.99% sure of my results but don't want to jinx anything by posting it - until I have my actual benefits letter in hand.) Two things come to mind: First - don't try to hide your anxiety at the hearing. You have to SHOW them how hard it is for you. I was a basket case and it showed. My 12 year old (difficult child #2) had to escort me into Boston because there was NO WAY I could navigate the trains and subways by myself. I let the judge know that. And I also get weepy when I have to talk about my problems. That's just part of my diagnosis. The hearing is not the time to put up a brave front. Show intellegence and class - but also let them see how hard it is for you. Second - you HAVE to show that you are currently in treatment. The judge will be looking for ongoing medical appointments and current doctor visits. Do whatever you can to get one more doctor visit in before the hearing. I don't think that you will be able to bring husband into the actual hearing. I couldn't bring my son in and several other people were told that they couldn't bring their "people" in either. I know where you are coming from (and going through) and I wish you the best. I understand how much is riding on this hearing. If you want more info - please feel free to PM me. Amy [/QUOTE]
