How can Seth Grossman be allowed to continue to make decisions on a persons life with such a high denial rate.
I understand that there are people who try to beat the system but if he has the years of experience that he has and knows his job then he should be able to pick out the scammers immediately. Having this man in power can cause a person to take their own life. I know cause I was in so much pain and it took everything in my power to not put myself out of my misery. Thankfully, I have a strong will and amazing family and friends that supported me through it all. How can his superiors see his stats and let him continue to make decisions on people’s lives? Why aren’t they questioning this? Denying me 3 times has put me in a financial hole that I will not be able to get out of for many years. He is a danger to society!

Wow Angelica, Being denied 4 times by this same judge is more than a lot! Check out the stats of this judge, it speaks for itself, any judge that has a below 35% approvals (especially when its 25%) and 50% or more percent denials are going to have a very hard time getting approved no matter how strong the case is. Their egos and reputations are more important to them than any laws, they just dont care! Its best to go for another judge that has a 40% or more approvals
This terrible ALJ denied me 4 times and then refused to give me all the retroactive money due to me. I was finally approved because I had a different ALJ who btw, off the record, told me that I should have been approved the first time. I had a hip replacement that was done incorrectly and since then have had 3 additional surgeries. We should get together and find an attorney who can help us! This is discrimination against the disabled, in my opinion.
My email is 6216vazquez@gmail.com if you’re interested in a class action lawsuit.
We need to all be in together and try to see how we can make complaints against discharge I had to auto immune diseases I just recently had a court hearing again he’s going to try to say that I’m lying about how far I can walk because of the fact that I talk to different people over the phone that has nothing to do with my disability he got upset because the first medical expert confirm my diagnosis the second one complain about not having adequate medical recordsWhich is his responsibility to subpoena those records
This judge has repeatedly put my brother under unnecessary stress. He suffers from a Spine disease, 4 times he’s been denied. Each time the judge had a different “medical expert”. The expert does not have the medical expertise as the spinal doctors. It’s as if they never read the material supplied by the professionial medical doctors. In fact, it appears as if they are paid to assist this guy with his denials. Shame on them and him too for not listening and being quick to decide. Sounds to me as if he has a “deny” quota to meet. I wish I knew where to report him for his incompetence in handling the case. Absolutely no human element and does not truly listen or look to the facts.
Abandon all hope all ye who enter Grossman’s court room. He derails hearings, disregards medical information from both private and SSDI medical experts (he completely disregarded any medical information showing I’m visually impaired), and I believe he does this with intent to hurt people because he smiles through it all saying he’s trying to determine if he’s being lied to. Clearly he thinks most who come before him are lying and trying to game a system which is against us to begin with. He approves less than 30% and dismisses or denies between 70% and 75% of the cases that come before him.
how can this guy be allowed to continue when his extremely low approval rate clearly show he has a bias against claimants. This is so sad.
