Did you know that even though you are denied you can still appeal to the board for another decision.
I will say that I was not impressed with how I was treated at my ALJ hearing for my SSDI. Being a medically retired veteran and 100% disabled rated by the VA. After going through a heart attack, several spinal procedures and injections for pain from injury sustained in Iraq while deployed for a year and over 20+yrs in the service. I felt he was more concerned that I was receiving my military retirement pay instead of focusing on what I was at the hearing for “My SSDI” that I have paid into and earned over the past 30yrs! As I had to keep saying, I was forced to retire from my full-time job and it’s hard to deal with the pain. Over 700 pages of medical documentation from doctors/specialist and still denied! The hearing was a complete waste of time and I think this judge did not like the fact that I draw my earned retirement and applied for my SSDI!!!
This judge is great — he has a sense of humor, abundant common sense, compassion, and a unique ability to relate to a diverse variety of people.
This judge is a lot of fun! He makes the hearings enjoyable for the claimants and their attorneys, and is very interested in what the claimants have to say. Don’t try to fool him, though — he’s sharp as a tack!
