My wife's hearing was yesterday. She's very nervous that she didn't explicitly say enough out loud, but she had written a letter and provided reams of medical evidence about her headaches.

I felt like it went well. she emphasized that she needs to constantly manage time, take lots of breaks, and rest. The judge turned to the labor expert person, as far as I can tell this is the person whose job it is to say what jobs my wife can do in the national economy and make $314 per week. The labor expert talked about number I think meant my wifes history has higher paying jobs that you need fewer hours per week to be "substantially gainful". But then the judge was asking her questions about "time on task" and "days missed per month" and the labor person said "precluded" a bunch.

I think between the massive pile of medical documents the personal letter and the testimony the judge understands that my wife can't work a regular job with regular breaks because if she looks down too much she just gets massive headaches.
, I guess
