What sort of place is the actual office where my case will be heard?

Your case will be heard in a hearing room. This room is usually about 14 feet wide by 20 feet long. An ALJ will be presiding at the head of the room and there will be a hearing monitor who will assist the ALJ in taking your testimony down. There may be a Vocational Expert there who will listen to your testimony and give expert opinions on your employability in a competitive national labor market. There may also be an expert Medical Evaluator to consider your medical records, testimony and symptoms to render an opinion as to whether you meet a Medical Listing or can do certain tasks that impact on your employability.
