SSD ALJ Christina Mein (KS)
Approval rating in the 20’s!? The really long comment above sickens me. Denying them was straight up negligent. Dropping in from OK to tell you guys how this is SUPPOSED to work and to pray that she’s removed ASAP before she racks up some thousand ruined lives.
She sounds like one of those ignorant fools who thinks that if you can manage to mow your yard (or whatever) once a year but pay for it for 2 days with pure agony, that it means you can mow your yard.
I had the hardest ALJ in my area. I was hardly over 30. I not only graduated from college w/ a bachelors in biology, but was accepted to 4 medical schools in the northeast (where I’m originally from). I did 3 yrs of medical school. It turns out I’m Autistic, so I finally know whsds my 130-145 IQ score comes from (I’ve tested at the low and high ends of that range on various tests). I compiled all of my medical info, past & present MD’s, past surgical history and much more in a few perfectly formatted documents.
I was a level 1 trauma in a near fatal car accident and have had over 15 surgeries. Left foot has been bone on bone since 2014. I’ll be having surgeries forever. I had.hemorrhagic stroke 2 yrs later and was expected to be in a wheelchair for life; was paralyzed from the lower neck down on my left side…pure motor stroke with no sensory loss. But praise God…I made a nearly full recovery. Thank God for the medical center I was at when it happened, the neurosurgery ICU I was in for days in.case my midline shift progressed to a brain herniation and my skull needed to be opened so my brainstorm wouldn’t be crushed, stopping my breathing, heartbeat, and ending my life. And for their inpatient acute rehab program… it was 6 hours of therapy M-F. Lower left leg has spasticity…tight, weak, uncoordinated…..but you’d need me to show you that to even notice it: IF YOU SAW ME IN THE STORE, YOU WOULD NOT THINK ANYTHING HAPPENED TO ME. You’d never know I was intubated in an ICU in a medically induced coma for a week before I could be moved and start having weekly orthopedic surgeries to address the joints I shattered in my left side…hindfoot, midfoot, knee, wrist. You’d never know my scalp was.a bloody lump of meat clumped on my head that was sewn back on or see the huge scar across my forehead that’s hidden under my bangs. You’d never know that the police showed up at my family’s house saying I was “still alive,” and drove to the hospital with their sirens & lights on so my parents could get there fast…probably so they could say goodbye. You’d never know that after a CT scan, they opened me right up to take my spleen out, repair my liver, and insert bilateral chest tubes ..: all of the broken ribs hacked me up and dropped both lungs. Or that I spent over 1.5 months in a NURSING HOME for aftercare and was brought to orthopedic appts on a stretcher. All 4 extremities had fractures and were non weight bearing…so I was carted there like a quadriplegic would be. I could go on and on, as there’s lots…but you’d suspect nothing.
I was the case that gets denied. Young. VERY SMART. Highly educated. But my medical records arrived here from NYS in those huge boxes that hold “reems” of paper, and the AlJ did word searches. That’s all she could do with over 1,000 pages to go though. I had no “physician letter” or “RFC.” My lawyer DID have a form from my trauma orthopedic surgeon and new PCP, that successfully got my federal loans ($273,954) and probate loans (~$20,000 principal that had already nearly doubled) forgiven, respectively: Those go by TPD – Total Permanent Disability. I stood there as she rattled off that long list of limitations and it was too much…I started crying my eyes out. It was hard to hear how messed up my body was at my young age and an SSD hearing was the last thing I could have imagined doing. My friends were in their 1st or 2nd yr of residency. I was standing in a room hearing some vocational officer say that there was no job she could recommend: my left wrist (which has Dropping in from OK to tell you guys how this is SUPPOSED to work.

It was hard to hear how messed up my body was at my young age and an SSD hearing was the last thing I could have imagined doing. My friends were in their 1st or 2nd yr of residency. I was standing in a room hearing some vocational officer say that there was no job she could recommend: my left wrist (which has had 4 surgeries but now falls in the “salvage pathway” only 12 yrs after the accident) is a problem for sedentary jobs. Sure, I can type 12 pages of personal info into tables & lists in a MS Word document, but that’s over days. I’ve been in tears from tying like a page. And apparently requiring a few days off for doctor appts every month was another thing.
There was no debate or back and forth…VO said no and judge said nothing disputing it. She said she couldn’t tell me anything because it would meant she’d have to have the letter done that day, but that I’d get one abs that “since I was young,” I would probably be reviewed more often than older people. She said maybe one day I could go back to medical school. My lawyer said we won when we walked out and when I asked about the Med school comment, that she probably wanted to encourage me & “give me hope.” My husband saw my face and it was obvious that I was just crying. He thought that it went bad and I was upset or had been yelled at or something. Then the lawyer told him that we had won…that it was one of the fastest hearings he’d been to. He didn’t expect that at all for a girl who was 1 yr away from her MD degree & with the hardest ALJ in the region…who had asked if I was the one who typed up the 10-20 pages of information summarizing everything, listing names/addresses/numbers for every doctor who had medical records to request, etc. He said I did but that she should bring us in for a hearing to review my medical records.
I think she was around 39% approval or something.
This judge us screwed. Just wait. I worked at a union pharmacy for a year before medical school. Chronic pain patients at my window who wanted their medicine and were distraught or angry when our billing lady informed them that their insurance wouldn’t pay for it for another day or two….I judged them. I remember thinking to myself that the argumentative ones were junkies..:addicts. Oh boy. God humbled me HARD. Like 3.5 yrs later, I was in my bedroom out of pain meds … learning that the fill dates are strict and you have to stay on schedule scan if you’re in agony…. or you’d eventuality get to experience the misery of cold Turkey physical withdrawal. And I remembered the pharmacy and the things I thought about those patients. And I wept bitterly for the next 30 minutes. Now ***I*** was the chronic pain patient. I was so ashamed and embarrassed. Never judged ppl like that again.
This lady will get hers. Watch her end up with something she thought was a made up pity party: Honestly, given that long comment above, I would not want to be her when God has had enough, it’s been however long and she’s no different, and serves her a super sized platter of what was “not credible,” what was “just a medical opinion,” and what she silently thought was “all in their head.” You know that feeling you get from the Holy Spirit…the times it’s really strong and clear? I have that about this judge. That’s why I spent so long writing to you guys. To give you hope. Fight back. And please report her to the American bar association and her supervising bodies.
She is a scumb bag and should lose her license! She lies, doesn’t listen, and could care less about the truth, evidence or facts! I’m officially filing a fraud complaint against her! I’ve been on disability for 20 years with complex PTSD, major depression and severe anxiety. Due to some severely traumatic events that have taken place over the last 5 years my anxiety is so bad I cannot even leave my house to go to the damn mailbox alone let alone anything else and I tried telling her that, did she care? No! Too busy speaking about me as a hypothetical person or situation to paint her narrative to push her bullshit agenda! She send me a letter saying I’m no longer disabled and can go find work and that she has final say over my case and that I can’t go through a federal court… she’s dead wrong on that, absolutely can go through federal courts she’s just dirty and doesn’t realize just cause I’m mentally screwed up doesn’t make me stupid… Now I’ve been vomiting my brains out since 5 July when I got her letter and haven’t been able to function at all… My anxiety is so sky high I’m hyperventilating and my heart is literally been physically hurting like mini heart attack shit… that is my means of survival and without a care in the world this Jezebel just wants to snatch it away… it ain’t effecting her life, she won’t end up on the streets with nothing and no place to go, it won’t take food off her table and she’s still getting paid… she is a fraud, a liar, and she abuses her position and frankly she should be shit canned!
God is the final judge, I have faith and trust He will prevail! I’ve been in this battle for 3 years and her empty threats and lies don’t hold a candle to the truth! People wield their sword of power like they’re big and bad… the sword of God is upright and delivers His justice!
Tired of all these fake asses in high positions!
Filing fraud complaints on her and my old doctor as he’s a piece of quack trash too and played his roll in this as well!
Satan has never won against God, and he never will!
Worse judge you can ever get. Unreliable and untrustworthy. I would NEVER EVER recommend her to my worst enemy.
Judge who makes decision based on her biased perception. Even if you have medical records with doctors’ statements and vocational expert testifying there is NO jobs with your type of disabilities get ready for a disappointment: no medical records, testimonies can change her mind. I wish someone would look at her cases and determine if she is cable of not biased decision.
