I am the one who posted on Paul T. Hebda on 4/17/2013. I received a partially favorable decision around June 10th, 2013. Despite not agreeing with his ruling, I would have to say that I still like him as a judge. I have some disagreements in his decision and found at some points that there were contradictions in his statements and even some wrong information in what is written.
I have not decided if I am going to appeal his decision or not. Will give myself the weekend to hopefully get a better grip on if I have a chance at an appeal to his decision. According to the partially favorable, my onset date was moved one year ahead, basically not giving me any back pay at all. I truly feel my disability was a strong case before his new onset date. I appreciate his decision, but I think I will chance taking it to appeals. I don't have much going for me in life and I feel I really don't have anything to lose. I am pretty much at my lowest so there is no where to go but up.

I have had this ALJ two times in seperate Fair-Right Hearings and both times she has denied me of my Benefits which I do not agree with the way she looks at her cases along with the choice of words that she used in her decision letters. I would not choose to ever see this What you want to call an Administrative Law Judge and wouldn't recommend this judge to handle other peoples cases. I am unhappy with her performance

I had my hearing with Hebda a while back. I have not recieved a decision yet, but I found him to be very kind, patient and aware of how hard it was for me to come before a judge in my hearing. I felt like he had some compassion and that made me a little more comfortable and the whole hearing bareable. I was sent to a doctor for a Mental Status Exam after my hearing and had a very favorable report from that doctor. I await Hebda's decision now.

Judge means well, however, in the end he still has no control over disability. They don't care what he does or says. Federal judges have the final say, I don't think so. Very disappointed, his failure to stand his ground or hold his authority, whatever, cost us everything.

as i said above, on 3/18
this judge seized upon my twice-weekly alcohol use, and called it "abuse". this led him to negate all my medical records, saying i could function without "alcohol abuse" (2 times weekly)
if this guy wants to deny your claim to keep his NHC ratios in order, he will find a way.

Very pleasant judge. Knows when he has to do a fully developed hearing and also when he doesn't. Likes to cut to the chase on clearly solid cases.

WHEN HE GAVE ME MY FINALE DECISION WHICH WAS UNFAVORABLE I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO FEEL ANYMORE BECAUSE THE FIRST JUDGE DENIED ME THEN I APPEALED NOW THIS DECISION. I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BUT JUST KEEP ON APPEALING AND APPEALING UNTIL A JUDGE FINALLY SEE THAT IAM DISABLED AND I HAVE DOCUMENTATIONS FROM ALL EXPERTS STATING MY CONDITIONS. SO FOR THOSE WHO GOT DENIED OR UNFAVORABLE DECISION DONT GIVE UP JUST KEEP ON GOING BECAUSE YOU DESERVE EVERY PENNY.

Very efficient, kind. Granted my client a favorable OTR. However, I find the clerks in this ODAR a bit disorganized.

I flew to Spokane in the middle of winter to represent a client before Judge Ausems a few years ago. Unfortunately, the weather worsened and I was actually stranded at the Spokane airport in the middle of a blizzard.
I called ODAR to inform the clerk and ALJ Ausems was very kind, understanding, and even arranged for me to participate in the hearing via phone from my hotel room.

I just met with this judge and at first she was rough but after i broke down, she became sympathetic and also allowed me to speak freely and get off track to get my point across. I found her to be very polite butt to the books. No neg feedback in my case

She is aggressive, hostile and I felt VERY harassed by her while under going my ssdi claim. There was no compassion or empathy, nor even an attempt at understanding my situation. Her only care was to get more information to justify her original denial of my claim and to work her way around the around the civil courts remand decision.

I think Judge Hebda is not particularly objective in his decision making process. He Claimed I worked during 2011, which is not true. He also felt like the evaluation the Neurologist performed carried no weight because the neurologist has only seen me one time, yet hypocritically sited over and over physicians who only saw me once and avoided being too descriptive of my injuries and illnesses to protect the Veterans Administration.
It would be difficult for me to form an objective review of Judge Hebda. In court he was pleasant and things were done quickly. But he denied my claim and his reasoning for denial is not consistent with his reasons for acceptance. Judges who have double standards are not good judges in my opinion. The whole idea of going before a judge is so a reasonable person can make a decisions without a predisposition for denial.

When I went into my hearing with Judge Wynne O'brien Perdons I was happy to hear that I was going before a new judge. I have never in my life been before any type of judge or any law enforcement, so to hear she was new put me a little at ease, since this whole disability world is new to me. God knows, I would much rather be able to work then go through all of the chronic pain and suffering that I go through every single day and every night, as I am sure many other people out there who are truly disabled would agree. Looking back at the day of my hearing I was so nervous I couldn't think straight. For me; It was like going to a doctor and having so many questions for them, and wanting to tell them all of the things that I battled physically during the month, but my mind goes completly blank at that presice moment of course. When leaving my appointment all of the questions I wanted to ask comes back to me like a flood, and I would think to myself "I forgot to tell him/her this or that". Unfortuntely, my case was denied, I think because of my own testimony and other reasons. When my hearing was over and I walked out the door, all of things I wanted to tell her came back like a flood, and all I wanted to do was go back in there and cry out for mercy because the pain I am in all the time, and I know I cant work, but I didn't. After reading her desision all I did was cry for days. I felt her jugement of me was so unfair because things were taken out of content, and I truly have alot of pain, how can chronic pain even be measured? I have worked hard all of my life, until I finally had to admit to myself that I am disabled. This was a very hard thing for me to come to terms with. After reading some of the reviews regarding the other judges, I was glad that I went before Judge Wynne O'brien Persons. Best of luck to all of the people who are truly disabled, but were denied.

I received a denial for a hearing from Judge Ausems in 2010. In her denial Ausems wrote that I could request that she vacate or set aside her decision if I appealed to her within 10 days. I wrote to her and appealed to her to set aside her decision and submitted my request within the ten day period. I am still waiting to hear back from Judge Ausems. When my representatives went to the ODAR office in Spokane on my behalf to talk with Judge Ausems, Judge Ausems refused to speak with them and they were ordered out of the office at gunpoint by security.

I went before Judge Hebda last Oct. and was denined my Dissability Claim. I then appealed, again. At the same time, I atempted to hire a lawyer. After several months the lawyer sent me a letter stating part of the reason he chose not to take my case is that Judge Hebda is flat-out a lier, and that he misleads the claimant, and that his mind is made up befores he hears your testimony. Among other comments/statements about this particular Judge. How do I get a fair hearing???
