Judge Costa is a compassionate and knowledgeable Judge. He was thoroughly familiar with my case. Made me feel at ease from the first words he spoke. Judge Costa asked questions, listened to everything I had to say about my case. It was such a relaxed hearing that it didn’t feel like a hearing. More like a conversation you and your doctor would have of what is ailing you. I’ve read the previous negative reviews (opinions) which everyone is entitled to and felt compelled to give him a review he deserves.
My decision letter was full of errors in timeline and stated that something I never complained about but was seen on an imaging report was the source of one of my conditions when in fact it has nothing to do with it. Please have enough respect for the claimant that if you are going to deny their benifits the report you are filing is correct and not adding insult to injury.
