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.

My Hearing was on 12/21/2012. The Court completely ignored medical records submitted after the Hearing (by extension of time) from a major stroke incident which would prove that the claim was within the time limits required and ignored extensive medical records from the Veterans Administration claiming that they did not receive them even though my attorney provided me with proof that not only were they sent, but also received by the office. The VA records show that the claimant has: Aortic Valve Disease, chronic PTSD (from the Vietnam war and from another source), Tachycardia, Sinus Nerve, Injury to the peroneal nerve, uncontrollable Hypertension, Inververtebral Disk Desease, Depressive Disorder, and is partially paralysed. Any one of these would result in a disability award except the Judge decided that he wanted to dwell of the Claimants recently deceased life partner of 32 years with questions about homosexual issues such as what illnesses my partner had. A detailed appeal was made to the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review and the claimant has requested a copy of the audio transcript however thus far they seem to be avoiding providing that to me. This tranascript is needed for a future Federal Lawsuit against the Social Security Administration as this current appeal is the last required stop before being permitted to file in the Court. Is there a personal Judge bias here or just how disabled do you need to be to claim?

Well, the good news about losing a case is that you have one more appeal then you get to cost the U.S. Government big money as you take your case to Federal Court. I would recomend that those doing so carefully review the transcript and also get an audio copy. If you can prove malice, you can get the sky's the limit money when you sue. I have known that some of these Judges disregard medical reports and statements without providing an opposing professional opinion. Nice kangeroo court tactic.

Dan R Hyatt, admin law judge attacks helpless lawyer on crutches.
Sworn declaration for Restraining Order issued against Dan R Hyatt.
During my hearing on March 31, 2010 the administrative law judge wore a black robe and sat elevated from me. The judge was Riley Atkins and he had curly black hair.
2. He said to my lawyer “this is a case only about whether or not the time period is up and extension. I rule that she is past that time and therefore I will rule against her. As that is the only thing we are here for I will not take evidence about her disability.”
3. My lawyer said, “Wait, let’s not go so fast. Let me see the Notice. I didn’t get a copy”
4. Atkins said, “You had the chance to look at it before. Did you make an appointment to come and see the file?”
5. My lawyer said, “No, let me look at it now.”
6. Atkins then handed it to my lawyer (by handing it first to the vocational expert).
7. After my lawyer read of the file and his long discussion with the judge my lawyer turned to me and said, “claimant…”
8. The judge interrupted my lawyer and said, “Show some decorum. Her name is Mrs. Johnston.” My lawyer said that he was making the record clear after the long discussion with the judge so the record would know that he has stopped talking to the judge and was now talking to me, the Claimant.
9. My lawyer read to himself, the Notice and my Request for Hearing before an ALJ. He then asked me some questions and then the ALJ interrupted him again to stop him before my lawyer could complete what he was doing.
10. My lawyer said that he was not “going to close any doors” and that he believed that because of my mental condition that there was “good cause” to extend any deadlines and to deem the Request for Hearing to be a new application at the very least. (That was what I believed I had been doing when I wrote the Request for a Hearing-requesting a new application).
11. My lawyer refused to give up any of my rights and demanded that I be approved to be back on disability today.
12. The judge said the case wasn’t “worked up” and some other things.
13. The judge then said to me, “madam you have to go to the field office and file a new application.”
14. My lawyer said, “She should take advice from her lawyer and not from the guy who is throwing her out of court.”
15. Atkins then said, “Ma’am you should file a new application in Beaverton…”
16. My lawyer then said “Don’t give my client legal advise. I’ve already instructed you on that once. It isn’t your role.”
17. At all times my lawyer acted calm, professional and civil. If he didn’t act that way then I would have had to flee him (because of my severe mental illness). My lawyer acted calm, quiet, professional and civil at all times and that was how I could attend the stressful hearing.
18. My lawyer was not loud or argumentative. He made his objection heard and then made it again as I expect a lawyer to do in a courtroom setting.
19. My lawyer at no time was threatening or intimidating.
20. I then went into the lobby of ODAR with my lawyer where my husband was sitting. My lawyer Daniel A. Bernath looked at my husband and I and said, “let’s get out of here and we’ll talk outside.”
21. Dan then led the way, holding his black cane/crutch in his right hand, pulling his big box of books with wheels with his right hand and wearing a homburg hat. He was looking very dashing.
22. Dan was leading. My husband was following him and I was following my husband when we turned the corner to the elevator lobby of the 4th floor.
23. I saw an old short man wearing a brown colored outfit in blue jeans with silver hair already inside an elevator. Except for him the elevator was empty.
24. When we approached the elevator to get in, the old man quickly ran forward from the back of the elevator and stood at the front of the elevator and shouted “No” “You’re not riding on that elevator” “No”!
25. The old man alone in the elevator was very belligerent and confrontational.
26. My lawyer did not enter the elevator because the old man blocked him.
27. My lawyer never said a word to the old man.
28. The man then bumped my lawyer with his chest.
29. I saw my lawyer kind-of step back from the force of the blow but my lawyer couldn’t back up because the wheels of the box stopped him and there was me and about 4 people trying to get on the elevator and they were right behind him.
30. The man then hit my lawyer a second time but this time with much more power and with his chest and his stomach this time.
31. My lawyer had to work to get his balance after being knocked off his feet.
32. The man then said “call the police. I want him arrested for assault. He just bumped me.”
33. My husband Roman Johnston said in a quiet voice, “no he didn’t. You bumped him.”
34. The man then got a very wild look on his face and was very aggressive and said to Roman, “what’s your name!”
35. The man alone in the elevator became even more aggressive and offensive. He had a very wild look in his eyes.
36. That was the only time my lawyer spoke and he gave legal advice to his client Roman and said, “Don’t answer that.”
37. The security guards came.
38. That man was taken around the corner away from us. I later found out that the old man’s name is Dan R. Hyatt.
39. At no time did my lawyer’s hands leave the box handle or his cane/crutch. At no time did his cane/crutch or box leave the floor. At no time did my lawyer come in contact with that man except when that man hit my lawyer with first his chest and then with his stomach and his chest to knock my lawyer on the floor or back. No part of my lawyer’s body entered the elevator. Dan R. Hyatt used his chest and stomach to repeatedly batter my lawyer who stood out in the hallway.
40. Hyatt didn’t want my lawyer in that elevator at all even though it was completely empty and even though there were 3 to 4 elevators on one side and 3 to 4 elevators on the other side of the hallway.
41. The security guards came and blocked us from leaving and my lawyer asked “am I under arrest” and they said “no but you can’t leave.” He said “then I’m leaving now” and tried to push the button for an elevator but they blocked him from leaving.
42. The federal police came and they roughly grabbed my lawyer’s hands behind him and put handcuffs on him. As they were leading him back to the Social Security Court with his hands tightly cuffed behind him I heard my lawyer say to them “on advice of counsel I have nothing to say.”
43. The federal police asked me if I saw what happened. They took my license information but didn’t write down what I was saying. There was a second policeman and when they confirmed that I had made a statement then said I could leave (but could not talk to my lawyer).
44. I haven’t left my house since that traumatic event in watching my lawyer get assaulted and battered and arrested nearly a week ago.
45. Seeing your lawyer get arrested is like seeing your Father get arrested and hauled away. I trust my lawyer and it was all extremely traumatic to me to see my lawyer get beaten and then get arrested and handcuffed and taken away to who-knows-where.
46. I am going to meet with my doctor so I can discuss the severe trauma I have suffered because I watched my lawyer get assaulted and battered by Hyatt and then arrested by 3 or 4 very large policemen.

I have been before Judge Michael Gilbert 2 times. I found he I believe purposely went outside the guidelines of Law several times with regards to the scope of his questions. I don't know whether to believe the statistics. however my experience has not conformed to the numbers be represented. the time it took to get my case before this judge was extreme. my case was even delayed further because judge Gilbert stated he had a conflict in his scheduling. I am a disabled veteran on state pension. I have to tumors in my liver and blindness in my left eye as well as degenerative disc disease in all but 1 disc in my neck I was sole provider for my 3 girls when I was injured on the job in nursing. that was March of 2005. I have yet to receive my hearing information. the last of the hearings was held September 18th 2012. it is now the last day of January 2013. I had to sue the last judge I sure hope this time is different. this is the worst system I have ever been exposed to in government

Judge Gilbert is a hacket man; he does not follow the law. He is rude and insensitve. He acts as an advocate not as a judge. He is a prosecutor of anyone who believes he or she is disabled. He will tear you apart as a prosecutor and minimized any problem you may have. Every person appearing before him should contact their congressman and complain about his confusion. He prosecutes you for your impairments and highlights anything to destroy your credibility.

He doesn't just deny or allow benefits he tries to make sure claimants needs are met emotionally, physically, medically, and mental health care!

Judge Gilbert was not a "good Judge." and I am using the politically correct terms in order to keep my temper. He was very unethical in terms about asking in the beginning of the proceedings about my marriage falling apart and if that had anything to do with my mental state, who was getting custody of my daughter in which there was complications that obviously he was aware of that not I nor my attorney was aware that he knew of, and a CPS investigation concerning my now ex-husband that was involving my divorce that was completely separate from my medical portion of my procedings. I am a disabled veteran. I felt attacked in every way, shape, and form. I suffer from PTSD, brain lesions, asthma, a pseduotumor that has made me 80% disabled with individual unemployability through the VA. He asked about my "stressors" and when it was told to him about my events overseas, his comments were less than favorable - "Is that it???" I have been in school before getting diagnosed with my psuedotumor and because of a misdiagnosis of migraines in which are now combined with the pseudotumor to date. He over-analysed everything and even asked for extra things such as letters from my instructors concerning the provisions that they had given me in order to stay in school to graduate so I wouldn't incur a debt to the VA and be successfull in graduating. According to his extenuating notes, he stated that I appeared, "normal" as if that I am supposed to be in some sort of state when I have made provisions to get better when my sight was going to go and much worse, being a single parent with two children to care for. He questioned my integrity as a parent, a female and a veteran. After all of this, I was not surprised that he denied my social security benefits for being honest and putting me through the worst 90 minutes that no one should have to endure. If my opinion, Judge Gilbert is a sniper when it comes to compassion and I have every right to file a formal complaint for the injustice that he had put upon me. Not for just his findings, but for how his process is. And hopefully, with my complaint on record, no matter what, it may help towards not having someone else go through this for them or their family.

I must disagree with the prior poster. Judge Dantonio's opinions are well thought out and well reasoned. I rarely appeal her decisions as a result. Although I may not always agree with her decisions, the clients are treated fairly and I know that she will consider all of the evidence in an impartial manner.
