she denied me and i have lung cancer. i would give her the opportunity to explain how someone that says they have a bad back, yet plays golf, darts and does an array of other things can be more disabled than someone with small cell lung cancer. and i was just denied
I find Judge Roberts to be one of the most hard working judges I have appeared in front of, she is knowledgeable about disability and the claim that is before her, very straight forward and to the point, you just can’t ask for more than that from an ALJ.
Judge Roberts issues more awards, on average, than other ALJs in this area, so it’s probably worth putting up with her quirky behavior. She is generally courteous to Claimants but is frequently insulting and rude to representatives.
Judge Roberts is a fair judge. Yes it is true she does not like to be called “mam”. She is a tough judge who does not mind saying what she thinks, to include talking to attorneys. She practically tore my attorney down to midget size, but overall her questions and judgment was fair and honestly straight forward. I have to say that she was a good judge.
Judge Roberts is very direct with claimants. Do NOT call her ma’am. She is extremely rude and condescending with attorneys and unrealistic about hurdles with actual practice.
Roberts is unbelievably lazy. It’s clear that she doesn’t read the files before the hearings.
If you are under age 50, it is extremely difficult to be awarded your benefits.
YES SHE IS A *****
She’s a *****
Don’t call her “mam”…she’ll get angry.
