in “I Was Denied At Hearing, What Do I Do Now?” on Colorado Social Security Disability Benefits Law
Here is a tip which I just read about and people should know about, if you are denied after a disability hearing: You can actually have the hearing re-done by requesting a copy of the tape of the hearing when you request a review of the hearing. This article has more information about it : http://www.disabilityappeal.com/denial-at-the-h... . It explains it better than I could, but basically what happens is oftentimes the tape of the hearing will be incomplete or just outright missing, and then they have no choice but to give you another hearing, since they simply don't have a record of the hearing itself.

Thanks for writing. You are absolutely right! It is a great idea to request the hearing recording.
Although nowadays, most ODAR offices use digital recordings so the inaudible or missing tape problems are greatly diminished.
But, that disabilityappeal.com article is great. I referenced it myself for the exactly the point you are making here: http://www.socialsecurityinsider.com/2008/01/de...
Thank you for taking the time to write!
