The Law Offices of Jeffrey Delott: How To Avoid Hearing Delays
http://iwantmydisability.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-avoid-hearing-delays.html
Saturday, January 12, 2008. How To Avoid Hearing Delays. Most Social Security Disability (“SSD”) claims are denied initially, and the denial rates are even higher in. After the state agency renders its decision, the claim gets transferred to the Social Security Administration (“SSA”) for adjudication at the hearing level. The most frequent complaint at this next level is the amount of time it takes before a hearing is scheduled. Two years is not unusual. The claimant’s primary medical condition was.

The Law Offices of Jeffrey Delott: State Agency Waste and Delay
http://iwantmydisability.blogspot.com/2014/07/state-agency-waste-and-delay.html
Monday, July 21, 2014. State Agency Waste and Delay. The State Agency makes the initial decision when you apply for Social Security Disability (“SSD”) benefits. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the time, it is a clerk, not a doctor, who makes the decision for the State agency. As you can imagine, those clerks usually make the wrong decision. Even worse, sometimes the clerks go out of their way to avoid approving SSD applications. The Law Offices of Jeffrey Delott. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Law Offices of Jeffrey Delott: Disability Benefits For Nurse
http://iwantmydisability.blogspot.com/2012/06/disability-benefits-for-nurse.html
Friday, June 29, 2012. Disability Benefits For Nurse. As a medical professional, you would think that an intensive care unit (“ICU”) nurse would recognize when a person can no longer work. That seems especially true when that worker or person is the nurse herself. Certainly a nurse is better able to assess limiting effects of medical impairments than a clerk who works for the State agency that initially decides eligibility for Social Security Disability (“SSD”) decisions. Luckily, the Social Security Adm...

Sunday, July 26, 2015. I represent a 49 year old former typist seeking Social Security Disability (“SSD”) benefits. Prior to the hearing, the ALJ received interrogatory responses from an ME; however, the ALJ never proffered them to me in accordance with the SSA Hearing, Appeals, and Litigation Law Manual (“HALLEX”).

The Law Offices of Jeffrey Delott: Work History
http://iwantmydisability.blogspot.com/2013/04/work-history.html
Monday, April 1, 2013. Sometimes it is more important for a Social Security Disability (“SSD”) applicant to emphasize work history than medical evidence. I have a Connecticut client whose SSD application was approved today in three months based primarily on his work background. It usually takes multiple supporting medical opinions or diagnostic evidence showing that a claimant meets a listing. To be approved for SSD benefits in only three months. Neither was the case in this instance. Therefore, ...

The Law Offices of Jeffrey Delott: Media Deception
http://iwantmydisability.blogspot.com/2014/01/media-deception.html
Friday, January 24, 2014. The media likes publishing sensational articles about disability fraud, such as the recent incident involving New York City police officers. Not only are fewer cases being granted, but it is taking longer to get them approved. I have discussed that the wait for a hearing on an SSD appeal can be avoided by asking an attorney advisor to consider issuing a fully favorable decision. However, the SSA issued a bulletin. That now makes it virtually impossible for them to approve an OTR.

http://iwantmydisability.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The initial medical decision in Social Security Disability (“SSD”) cases has been delegated to state agencies. Which in New York State is the Office of Temporary Disability Assistance (the “OTDA”). The OTDA goes to great lengths to ensure that SSD claimants get denied. Last August, the OTDA told the claimant that he had to go to a consultative exam (“CE”). When scheduling a CE, the OTDA is required by law to ask a treating doctor to perform it.
