2. The Social Security Disability/SSI appeal process is challenging and byzantine, but many people are able to prevail if they keep going and challenging their decisions. In general, if your initial application is turned down you have little chance of succeeding at the reconsideration level. Your next best shot is a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ).
3. I suspect the job of locksmith is classified as light work, which means that it involves standing and walking for up to six hours of an eight-hour workday, frequent lifting of objects up to ten pounds, occasional lifting of objects up to twenty pounds, and occasional stooping. If your attorney is experienced in disability law s/he will be working with your treating doctor to establish that your residual functional capacity does not permit these exertional requirements.
4. If you are denied by the ALJ you have the right to appeal to the Appeals Council, and if you are denied there you have the right to appeal to federal court.
5. I can't see anything in your post that would support the idea that you are being discriminated against.
Good luck with your appeal.

Reason: off topic
The 1th thing when wrong *the phone interview after i submitted my application* the called was outsource to a foreigner who barely spoken one word of english and when i got my report this idiot screw it up and try to me look like if was committing fraud and when i compliant to SSA/SSI they will not take any responsibility or do anything
But with the thank to my local congressman someone finally call and made the correction to my case also when i ask for the name of the idiot from the call center mysterious this person disappear into thin air and there was no call history and that * i smell a coverup *
2nd when i when to court even thought they correct the mistake they have half of my files and that lucky i have my complete files and they updated

First of all, the SSA does not outsource any jobs, including call center operators, and these are federal government positions, meaning the person you spoke to was a US citizen.
I know how you feel though having to speak with someone that is hard to understand. I am going through the same thing right now trying to read/interpret your posts.
There was no flip flopping involved in your disability determiniation. Almost everycase that goes into the SSA for disability will get denied. Unless someone is truely disabled, will they be approved at the Initial Application stage. When people are claiming a disability that the SSA does not deem to be completely disabiling, they will deny the claim and the applicant has to move to the reconsideration and hearing stage.
Given that you were denied even at the hearing, with a light job given as a possible employment for you, I'm guessing that you didn't have any treating doctor opinion available and the ALJ and vocational expert had to go solely based on the SSA doctors.
It seems to me that your case was initially determined correctly in that you were denied as you could perform other work. I am glad for you that you were able to have the determination overturned and can now live off of disability for the rest of your life.
this was a freak accident that what happen to me !
And i want to mention one other thing i want to emphasize i have a document from * erie DSS to my doctor * when i move up to WNY and is show proof that i am disabled and here is a list of thing i am forbidden to do
Moderate limited in Walking,Standing,sitting,lifting and climbing very limited in pushing,pulling and bending no physical activity entailing walking,sitting,manual labor
Now how can i be a locksmith with all this ?

First. If you are calling from inside America, you will get an American located office. Are you located outside America?
Second. The vast majority of cases end up going before a SS judge in the Office of Hearings and Appeals. So don't feel like you are someone special.
I need to bookmark this thread so I can use it next time the regularly scheduled thread in C-D titled "Millions on SSDI who don't deserve it".
Anybody who has dealt with the SS Disability system knows that getting SSDI is like trying to find a glass of icewater in hell.
