hey y'all,

I just had my hearing with a judge that has a 42% approval rating. my case was that I am mentally ill (documentation to back it up) and the judge asked me a bunch of questions, I answered honestly and he put the vocational expert on after an hour. during hypotheticals I only qualified for two jobs under the first one: cleaner and packer. the rest of the hypotheticals resulted in an answer of no from the VE. There is also no indication of when I will receive a decision. this makes me uneasy.

is there any way of knowing any signs I will be approved, or is it too close to call?

it went for about an hour long, and my phone was so shitty it had two accidental hangups due to service to the point where I started to freak out and cry. I got called back again and this time it was normal. then after giving my testimony the vocational expert listed only two jobs, cleaner and packer. they said no on everything else I could do. after that the judge ended the hearing.

here's hoping I won.
