Social Security disability judges call on vocational witnesses to testify at the vast majority of disability hearings. Although you have never met this witness, he/she plays an important role in your hearing.
Disability judges pose "hypothetical questions" to the vocational expert in your case and the answers to these questions will determine whether you win or lose.
My guest in this episode is vocational expert Stuart Gilkison. Stuart works as a contractor for Social Security and appears by phone at hearings before numerous judges in several states.
In our conversation we discuss how SSA qualifies vocational experts, the resources Stuart uses to identify jobs that a hypothetical person (i.e., you) might be able to perform and some of the problems with outdated resources.
I also asked Stuart about what he has learned from attending hundreds of hearings held by dozens of judges. What mistakes to claimants or their attorneys make and what claimants and their attorneys do well to improve their chances of winning.
If you are pursuing Social Security disability benefits you will almost certainly hear from a vocational expert at your hearing. Now is your opportunity to hear from a working vocational expert in a podcast setting.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
