ALJ is fairly new and doesn't have a clue in terms of how to conduct a hearing. The actual wording of her decisions reflect her lack of knowledge. She will get remanded often if the AC does their job

This ALJ seems very kind. Yes she is new, but I think she will end up being one of the better ALJ's in this office simply due to her compassion.

I hope she ends up being one of the better ALJ's in that office. However, lets keep in mind ALJ Pappenfus and ALJ Schum deny most everything and ALJ Griffith is always in a bad mood even when he pays claims.

I just met with this judge on the 2nd. Being severely agoraphobic it was hard enough to leave the house let alone sit in a strange place and try to explain to strangers to the best of my ability what was/is wrong with me without claming up and panicking/puking/crying. She had a very professional demeanor and was very patient and seemed to really listen. For that I am thankful and consider myself lucky. I also wonder what the comment pertaining to the "writing of the decision" means, considering I was under the impression that most decisions are written by a completely different person only using an outline of the reasons the judge decided deemed someone "disabled".. Maybe I am incorrect on that one, hmmm.

The decision may be written by an attorney or paralegal but it is the ALJ's signature attached and he or she is responsible for its content. I'm glad she was nice to you but I would not be fooled she is a negative ALJ and is prone to mistakes.

I'm sorry that your experience wasn't a good one. I did kind of worry when I came here and seen her approval rate vs. her disapproval rate. I was told that I could not have a nicer judge. She seemed like she understood for the most part, and I hope that reflects i her decision and she doesn't change her mind upon review. She did say she was backed up, I hope that doesn't mean that it will take even longer than normal.

You must have some really bad cases to be denied by Judge Barber. She has been really straight forward with all my clients and I have NO problem with apperances before her

As far as being an ALJ Judge goes she is an awesome lady. During the hearing she came off as a very kind and easy going person. Very down to earth.

I've had several hearings with Judge Barber. She is very friendly, compassionate and has a good sense of humor. She often comes across as a bit discombobulated and disorganized in her approach and questioning, but she is always professional and treats claimants and reps well. I think the most important issue for her is credibility. She zeros in on any inconsistencies with testimony, histories given to doctors, etc. Your case needs to be very clean on that score or she will deny you. She is very conservative and will only pay really strong cases.

Now I'm homeless been in and out of hospitals with no insurance. I'm instrested in finding out why and what the cause of the test. I,ve been to just about every agency to find out if i can get help but they denied . I've been observed during these test. My medical bills or very high, the out look on my medical history looks really bad during the course of these test. I had a several blood test taken my (Hgb)is 11.8 and sshould be in the range of 12.0-17.6 This was due to a high heart beat Indications :Tachycardia Chloride is high 109, Should be in a range of 98-107 Calcium is low 8.3 should be in the range of 8.5 -10.1 Myoglobin is high 64 should be in the range of <50.0ng/mL Glucose is high 118 should be in a range of 74-106 . Don't know where to turn but just wait for a disability law suit and they had move the date up. living on the streets of St. Louis Mo. Olive street Rd. Demetrius R Lewis

This judge seems courteous but she definately ignores the facts of the case. My wife had several doctors treat her which included three spinal surgeries . There are several more to come. My wife had to endure the denials of two judges before Barber. She runs with constant pain and suffering and disability for several years and the judge can't understand the facts and apparently hasn't done the research . Complete fail. Disgusting .

Judge Barber was very professional and compassionate. It was a very pleasant experience. She makes you feel at ease when you are there.

An ***** that does not know her job or who is actually disabled. I guess I should renounce my citizenship and sneak back into the country. Then the ******* government would give me all the help I need for my 15 abdominal surgeries over the last 18 years. I guess I can just keep working and have another surgery every 18 months. What a *****

Judge Benton was quick and efficient. Very patient with my need to stand 2 times during hearing. She is very neutral, you can't tell her emotions. But she did ask questions of me, gave me time to answer, I even stopped talking and appologized for rambling. She never seemed to mind. I was able to add a couple additional comments too. My lawyer recommended that I was more specific with times, like 20 minutes sitting, 20 mins standing. 2 days pain worsens, etc., before seeing judge, very good idea. The judge then gave hypothetical situation of a u person for the V.O., 3 jobs were listed with number i>available, and clarifications https://www.disabilityjudges.com/state/missouri/creve-coeur/a-benton made on reaching, standing and sitting, very appropriate. My lawyer clarified further how much reaching per shift, as that's a problem for me due to cervical spine issues. It seemed to go well. This w9ïas a video conference to Milwaukee, at WI's hearing office. I have no idea how this will end up. I wish I knew how much longer before decision. I'm unable to pay June's rent. I don't want to lose my home/apt. Nowhere else to live either. This decision makes all the difference unfortunately. I pray every day that she grants me an approval only time will tell. It's I'm God's hands. Hearing was on 4/11/17. Heard she's thorough, and takes 2 to 3 months, does anyone know her personslly? Please reply. Thank you!

I believe my young daughter's case was reassigned to this judge at the last minute as he has a high denial rate, so it will be unfavorable.which is very apparent. He doesn't see or know how helpless as a parent feels watching the devastation my daughter's body ( as you can see her bones dislocate and change places) and the constant pain she is in. He doesn't see , feel or know what her mental status is like . He is not having to live any of it. She was born with 2 huge deformities at birth and was denied at 8 weeks old, by social security with a hole in her heart with blood going into her chest, and a hole in her skull where her brain protruded.Giving her massive debilitating and paralyzing migraines leaving her to use a walker. Where her brain( corpus collusum stopped growing) her brain could not receive messages from one side to the other, leaving her a 1.6 gpa, and no education. While not being given special education she was entitled to.It does get worse, as we have watched what horror my daughter has endured for 23 years. I think this is deplorable. It is extremely difficult and has proven impossible to get specialists ( as they are in KS, will not take mo Medicaid) as her Dr agrees, due to her insurance status. As this is her appeal hearing, If my daughter is denied it will be very apparent it is not based on her physical and mental disabilities.

This judge likes to do shorter hearings (30 min); if there are any earnings/income after AOD you will need documentation! He has a very pleasant disposition and will do thorough, conversational questioning of claimant. He doesn't usually ask for opening or closing statement. Has a reputation as being a very fair judge.

I was a nervous wreck before and during my hearing, as most of us are. I had read reviews here for months prior and of course we never know which judge will hear our claim and whether they will approve our disability. I thankfully was in a hearing with Judge Consentino. He asked questions, listened intently and nodded as I spoke, which helped me to continue vs. forgetting all that I needed to say. When I started crying, he told me that it was ok and that it was very normal for people to cry at this process. He seemed very kind and bid me farewell as I left the room. I received my approval before 30 days, I was shocked at how quickly, since it took so long for my hearing date. I feel Judge Consentino was very fair and his report for my fully favorable decision was thorough. Best of luck to you.

Judge Dewoskin was to the point. He asked me quite a few questions. His demeanor was icey but he was not rude or disrespectful in any way. Even my lawyer had a hard time reading this judge. Even though I have several serious health issues/diagnoses and a barrage of debilitating symtoms, my lawyer has no feel as to how the judge will rule. I wish I would have been better prepped to answer questions. My anxiety got the best of me. It has been about two months since the hearing and it is still in “post-hearing” status. My advice? Be extremely prepared to give an answer for everything. Make sure your medical documentation is thorough and up to date.

I have been to 9 doctors in 15 years and nobody can figure out how to make my back better. I can barely get up some days and this heartless wonder still turns me down. not to mention the carpal tunnel in both hands along with depression & ADD. Then if I try again, they just send me to the same judge. You son of a , I wish someone would jab forks into your lower spine so you can experience the pain I have had for the last 15 years. No matter, The lord judges everyone in the end. I think the fire and brimstone will be more painful. I put in 25 years of working every day, paying into social security and I am entitled to what's mine. What you are doing is illegal and I am telling the world.

Judge Doyle is very polite, extremely attentive and really listens closely to everything that is said. He begins the hearings on time, and he is efficient and straight to the point. He made me feel at ease. I was satisfied about the entire hearing process the day of my hearing.

This Judge is only worried about his statistic numbers for the fiscal year and makes the wrong decisions on people who really need it!

Ahhh judge Doyle. Careful if you get this one especially if you are younger as he is the man when it comes to age discrimination. Unfortunately my conditions don’t care how old you are but he does. 700+ pages of medical evidence and a letter from a physician and he comes back and says not enough medical treatment.

He's pretty amazing. Hardly denies any cases. You do most of the questioning and if you do it right and present a compassionate claimant, he'll likely approve. His hypos are usually based on the crediblity of the claimant- which the VE says no jobs, which equals a FF.

Very pleasant, friendly judge. Usually does not have expert witnesses at hearing. Will allow openings/closings. Normally covers background questions himself and then turns over to rep to develop impairment details. Very fair judge.

I had my hearing on April 23, 2015 and it is now August 31, 2015 and I still haven't heard. The judge seemed fair and I liked him, but was wondering how long it takes to hear.

He denied my friend with spinal cord damage who lives in a wheelchair, yet approved a neighbor who takes medications for depression and parties all night long. He has no idea what he is doing. How such a moron, low moron or complete idiot could be appointed to the bench truly shows that SSA is doomed.

He does not seem to know what he is doing. I have spinal nerve impingement which meets an SSA listing, yet he denied my claim. Where do they hire such people?

He was a horrible judge!!! He ignored my illnesses and with physical proof from doctors tests in his hands, essentially called me a liar. I was and still am so upset, I truly have not been able to work and haven't been for about 8 years now. His decision claimed, that I knew that 3-4 years after applying for SSDI, whether approved or not my life would be easier, forget that I'm in constant pain, also when I didn't work I was a stay home 24/7 Mom he didn't bother to ask. He deemed me as lazy and looking for a hand out. He did not read my med charts nor smart enough to understand them. I was just a lazy Mom of 3 young kids, and when I did work paid a hefty sum for child care to work, till my body gave out. He is the WORST Judge!!!!

He was by far the best Judge that I have ever been in front of. I was having issues with my ignorant attorney trying to botch my case but he still asked me questions and took time to see the reality of my situation...

Not because she was in my favor but she is a good listener and very detailed. Best you don't present your own case, instead ask the Judge to ask you any questions and respond appropriately. Provide your own medical evidence and don't rely on doctors sending your medical records, in most cases the judge never receives them. Obtain your own medical records for the last 12 months and present it to the Judge yourself. Also, seek the opinion of a specialist doctor, his or her opinion weigh in your favor.

Your Honor, What advice could you give to an individual that realizes many errors and omissions have taken place with their disability claim. This would be like a modern day "agent orange" claim. 12" Med Records on his side. ICD on his side. E-E was he. Which direction shall he move towards? Main Street Palisades LLC

I had my hearing yesterday, but I still wanted to leave feedback. Before my hearing, my attorney told me that it's difficult to gauge the direction that Judge Farmer will lean because she allows the attorney to do the majority of the talking and doesn't ask many questions. However, in my hearing, she led the discussion, with my attorney talking, perhaps, five minutes: once to ask me questions to encourage me to flesh out how my issues affected my daily life and once to counter the vocational expert. (The vocational expert testified that I could do no jobs in the national economy, which is a positive!) Even though I don't have an decision yet, I really felt that Judge Farmer was interested in truly learning about how my disabilities affected my life, and how they prevented me from working. No question she asked -- and she asked a lot -- was unreasonable or unfair. If I were in her place, they would have been questions I would have asked. I know there are judges that already have their minds made up before even meeting a claimant, but if that were the case with Judge Farmer, I couldn't detect it all. Incidently, upon leaving the hearing, my attorney stated that she felt it went very well because she could gauge how the judge was leaning based on her questions, which was toward an approval. Of course, nothing is set until I get that decision. But however the judge leans, I will feel that she was as impartial as possible.

After 10 years of trying to get disability, I once again get a judge that refuses to do what the appeals judge said needs to be done on my case. My case was also deemed "dire need" because I was in the process of losing my home. Judge Farmer didn't care. As a matter of fact she actually opened the door and through me and my disabled son right out on the street. I thought that they are suppose to help people, not make them homeless. All doctors reports said I'm disabled but Judge Lyn Farmer doesn't believe any of them. I have carpel tunnel in both wrists and even had surgery on my right wrist. It failed and is worse now then it originally was. Judge Farmer said I can work using a keyboard. Yeah, right, hello, carpel tunnel, failed surgery. The Appeals Council said the judge needed to finish evaluating all the doctors reports and make a new DECISION. There's only 2 decisions - Yes or No. It was suppose to be Yes. Thanks, Judge Farmer for not doing what you were suppose to do.

This judge just likes to be adversarial with the attorney/claimant. It is a power trip for him. Don't let him fluster you, but be confident in your testimony/closing statements, etc.

Just had him for 3 hearings. I have been practicing for many, many years all over the country and he ranks right up there with the worst of the worst in terms of his attitude toward attorneys. I'm not sure what his problem is, but he seems to want to pick fights over nothing. Also makes critical comments about the attorney in front of the client, shows absolutely no empathy to claimants or representatives. He should not be in this job.

This ALJ did grant my client's case and of course I was very gracious. And to his credit he may have a generous heart, but it does not show in how he conducts himself on the bench. He rudely kept sending the court reporter to try to force us to begin early and my client had questions before we went into hearing. Once we entered, he was quite rude and unprofessional. For example, he asked about the amended onset date and when I told him. He shouted and asked if I forced claimant into amending her onset date or threatened to kill her. He told me I was being combative ---- there was a better way he could have handled this. When I told him to repeat what he needed from us, he turned really ugly..... To get irritated and upset because someone has a question is being a huge jerk. More like a power tripper as someone on this blog stated. I normally amend onset dates on the record and never had an issue but he likes a specific line of questioning from attorney to claimant where claimant swears you did not threaten their life to change their disability date. I completely understand why he does it, but just explain it because every judge handles this differently, don't be a huge d*ck about it.

This creep ruined my life. He was rude, and highly nasty and screamed at myself and my lawyer at the time. He ignored evidence, and his behavior started a chain of events in which the next "judge" ignored evidence as well, despite me having more evidence than the first time in court. Because of his behaviors, and the behaviors of the SSA, and them deliberately dragging their feet on my case for 7 yrs, they caused me to no longer be eligible for SSD, only SSI, in which the so called gvt can ****** money from SSI as they see fit. There is a time limit on whether you can be eligible for SSD and this fool and all of his buddies were in cahoots together to try and ruin me. I also filed a complaint to the White House, the mayors office in Jefferson City as well as the commissioner's office and all of that was to no avail. SSA thinks they are God, and they will back up the judge no matter how much evidence he ignored, no matter how racist they are, they will back that person up. Now are you ready for this? I found out that he is no longer listed with the SSA judges. How interesting is that. Can you sniff sniff, smell a cover up? I can. I guess his buddies told him that there were too many complaints and that he needed to retire. I hope to God with the REAL God, that he gets everything that he deserves in life. How dare you p** on ppl who have lost their health, lost their careers and now they lost their chance for a real hearing with a real judge with real emotions.

Judge James B. Griffith was polite, kind and very brief at my hearing. All he said was that my evidence was in order and that he is approving my disability. Then, he signed the paperwork. The whole process took less than 5 minutes. I guess it pays to have good attorneys and everything to prove you deserve disability.

I have been representing claimants for two years now and have never been in front of a more pompous, arrogant, rude judge. He seems like someone who gets off on being in power and belittling others. My heart sinks when I see that he is the judge I am going in front of. I can't say enough bad things about this man.

I went before this judge and all the above comments are correct. He is very heartless he never even made eye contact with me was sarcastic to my attorney. We walked away after only 25 minutes he only ask me 2 questions. My claim was denied and we are appealing it.

I went to high school with this *****. It doesn't surprise me that he is still behaving like a bully. What a first class ****. Even after all these years, there are still quite a few of his former classmates that continue to harbor resentment toward this arrogant *****. Most people change as they get older, even the ones who were some of the biggest bullies while growing up, and most are very remorseful for past transgressions, but it's apparent that little Jimmy Griffith has only grown even more harmful in his treatment of those less fortunate.

James Griffith -- Arrogant, Condescending, Unprofessional. Incompetent and Disrespectful Federal Employee. Bully. I had surgery on my gonads as a result of a motorcycle accident and James Griffith really seemed to dwell on that, asking way too many questions about my penis. It made me very uncomfortable. It was totally unrelated to my disability claim, so I do not understand why he would engage in this line of questioning. He seems to hate military veterans. Maybe it's because deep down inside, he knows that he was too much of a wimp to join up himself.

This guy is a good judge. He knows what he is doing and he is fair. He is balanced in his decisions; not too lenient, not too strict. If all judges were more like him, I think the system would be much better off.

Very good judge - no nonsense, straight-to-the-point. I agree with the 8/8/12 post.

I was in front of Judge Hanan last week, as the determination of my case is still unknown to my 100% I feel compelled to share my expirience. I agree with everything I read so far. He is fair, he is kind, he does listen , and he does ask a lot of questions that are important. He judges you only for what he hears and sees in his court room , any prior testimony from other SSA workers is not an issue. As I know I need my Disability and its well deserved, I am pretty sure he has approved my case because he is smart and knowledgable. I really liked him.

Very pleasant and understanding judge. Tends to talk very fast. Treats claimants and reps very well. Usually questions claimants first and then lets rep follow up. Gives realistic hypos to VE.

Its very rare in todays society that you meet someone in Judge Hanans position that listens interacts with claimant and also shows so much professionalism of his job. You can't helpvbut feel that he wants to hear your story of how you got to this point in your life's journey. My advice is if you don't draw him as your ALJ your missing out on one fine judge.!!

Everyone who is saying that he’s the best, fair ect. Are coming from those that he approved. How can someone with one leg be considered to be NOT disabled? This judge suck and need to retire

This judge twist everything you say around thinks that you're lying about everything. The real reason I think he denies and dismisses everybody is because they get a nice bonus at the end of the year for dismissing and denying people. People get hurt can't work but they have and ***** job specialist telling you that you can work. Why the **** are we paying that FICA ******** because FICA is insurance we pay so that when we get hurt we're covered. But we have ******** cashing in on our pain. None of you judges in ST. LOUIS. COUNTY ARE ANY GOOD. MOOCHES. I won't even waste my time rating this dudette.

Not a good judge. He doesn't want anyone to have any back pay. He'll try to cheat you out of benefits.

He'll act like he's listening, but he's not. Is mind is already made up before your hearing, he's just going through the motions. Then when you get your denial, you'll see that he only uses the evidence that benefits his decision and doesn't even acknowledge the evidence that supports a favorable decision.

fundamentally insecure. Asks questions and points out inconsistencies in claimant statements, sometimes well below their intellectual capacity and at other times so obviously trivial. Then he looks to others in the room to react to what he has obtained from the claimant. Asks questions which would never be admissible if Social Security hired its own counsel and then relies on the information he elicits. If he is going to approve someone he will then advocate for Social Security and eliminate the claimant's back pay or a substantial portion of it.

could not be more obvious this person has spent his entire life living off the federal government in some capacity. Biased and foolish.

He doesnt address the issues. He bullies people based on past mistakes or what have you; he does not address the issues at hand. He smirks and scoffs rudely and loudly as if he is calling you a liar. He didnt do any of the things he was supposed to do at the hearings (accourding to what he said he would do in his letters to people) other than criticize and bully people. He makes his mind up long before the hearing even when the court liason rules in the defense of the disabled individuels. He often sets his questions up to try and stump different people, box them into a corner and try his best to "sush" their words and prove them wrong An overall rude person and terrible judge. Glad I DO NOT have to work with and experience his abused power any longer!

It wasn't easy at first. He was very helpful. I didn't have an attorney..He wasn't able to help me as one. He listened to what I had to say and extended my approval/denial. So I may get my witness statements in. But trying to get a hold of him when he said I could talk to him if I needed anything else. Extension etc.. This is issue I am having right now. Not able to get a hold of him at all. That is hard very hard. I don't think anyone wants to patch me through to him. Or what.

I had Judge Victor Horton for my disability appeal. I really liked him. I felt that he was considerate of my feelings. I had read other comments on her prior to my hearing and I was a bit worried about having him as my judge. I think that as long as one is being honest and straight forward with his questions, then you'll do just fine. I don't know if I've been approved or not yet.

Spinal injury to my neck X2, lower back injury from the military heart disease diabetes. Chronic pain syndrome neuropathy unable to work per two doctors. All the information was there and she still denies me. Apparently this woman didn’t listen to a damn thing anybody said in the meeting .

Not professional in my opinion. Shows to much emotion and argues about something that has nothing to do with your case. Shouldn't be a judge of medical conditions if you don't have a medical degree. No stars deserved!

I think that he was a fair judge.I don't know the outcome of my hearing yet.My attorney was very incompitaint.He didn't even know what I got diagnosed with and wouldn't tell the judge about the 25 plus medications Im on and the side effect of those medications.I don't see how someone spends there day taking pills from the time they get up till they go to bed and don't supper side effects.i am nausea from morning till night and over half my medications cause drowsiness.I hope that they judge seen that my lawyer did not present my case in the right fashion.i am so so upset.

Judge Jewell did not use the correct information in making his decision on my SGA appeal. He used the incorrect year of earnings, my job title was incorrect and he did not consider all employees are disabled who work for my employer. If the correct information was considered, I know the outcome of the decision would have been favorable to me. Although his demeanor was very nice, his decision was based on the incorrect facts

Apparently another negative ALJ out of this office. She will be nice but she is one of the newer judge's who have been trained to deny the majority of claims and to distort testimony and medical evidence. This office pales in comparison to the STL ODAR in terms of how ALJ's conduct their hearings.

She sucks! She is a new judge and doesn't understand the law very well. She is pleasant in person, but is not sincere. She talks a mile a minute. Hope you don't get her. She denies even good cases.

This Judge is cruel and manipulative. I don't know how she sleeps at night. It wasn't enough to deny my disability again and again, she had to be insulting and mean. I truly feel compassion for ANYONE who gets her. If I have to step foot in her court room for the fourth time I will die.

This judge is terrible. Not sure by looking at this judge in person if it is a man or a woman but very rude person. Doesn't approve anybody and lies on decision letters.

I've had several hearings with Judge Kumpe. He has a military background, is used to getting things done efficiently. He does talk quickly, often in short, clipped sentences and can use terminology and analogies that are hard to follow. I've had clients tell me after the hearing they couldn't understand half of what the judge was talking about. Still, he's always been very pleasant and professional in how he runs his court. He will do things like fire quick little questions to the claimant such as "What's 7 x 25?" "What is the color of that wall? In that sentence I just gave you, what is the subject? What is the verb?" These are little tests that he knows will get unrehearsed answers and tell him what he needs to know about the claimant's functioning. More often than not, when I go in for a hearing, the judge will do a brief questioning and then order Consultative Exams and will likely schedule a supplemental hearing. I get the impression he doesn't think much of the DDS examiners routinely used and he often wants more accurate and thorough exams, especially where claimants have had limited medical work up. I think he's a very fair and understanding judge.

It's my opinion that Mr. Mance make his opinions based on his on personal views. Whereas, Mr. Mance denied a person Social Security because he figured the person would experience a substantial financial gain. "ALJ-Mance", the claimant would experience a substantial financial gain if he were to be awarded [sic] Supplemental Security Income Payments. Not that the person is disabled and entitled to the benifits. How can Mr. Mance make the right decision when it's clear that his decisons are not based on law, but, his on prejudice bias thoughts.

Normally i dont think that personal testimony and opinion counts for a lot...but since "Mike" bases all of his professional decisions off nothing more than his opinion, i guess it counts more than the facts, in this case. Apparently, Mike is also a doctor...or thinks he is. Who knew?! He gave me his opinions on my medical records, and wow! They were things id never ever been told i even had before! Crazy! Ive been to all these specialists and my disability judge knew waaaay more than ANY of them!!!! He even manifested some of my lost paperwork!!! Or l*ed...but when has anyone ever known the government to l*e. Ppsh! Never! P.s. Its weird when you dont look people in the eye, Mike....it might lead them to believe theres some other....reason behind it.

Horrible judge. Shouldn't be allowed to be in office as an ALJ. Originally had him in Topeka for my first hearing. When he asked about my conditions, I informed him I have Asperger's Syndrome and can't work. He angrily said "I know people who have Asperger's and can work. I'm no fool!" He totally upset my witness AND my mom, along with me. I was going to file a complaint against him, but didn't. I should have though. He is nothing but someone who has no empathy for any of his claimants. He already had his mind made up after I said that. Although, he did allow me to continue my hearing because I had no attorney NOR did I have all the evidence secured to proceed. Thankfully, after two attorneys turning me down, I retained one who requested a LIVE hearing, so I got to get away from him. My attorney did not pursue filing a complaint against him, although I advised him of my treatment and what happened. I wish all of you who get stuck with him luck. He is someone who can be angered easily and after that, have his mind made up. Be prepared to appeal and use his exact words against him if he does throw that crap at you like he did me. Horrible treatment and he REALLY needs to get out of office. I wish there was a way to fire them. He would be the first to go.

If you get this judge be prepared for a denial even with medical evidence shown and doctors statements. He will throw them out and not use them. My husband doesn't go to the doctor for every little thing MR. KNOW IT ALL. My husband is disabled by anyone that knows him and you surely don't. First he lies about my husband's age, then he lies about what jobs my husband can do, the jobs that stated my husband could do you have to interact with co-workers all day or most of the day and in the same denial he states my husband can only be around co-workers and supervisors occasional and have no contact with the public. BS that my husband wouldn't be around co-workers only occasional on either job. The one of the jobs he can only crouch and stoop occasionally but the job details state you must clean floors and walls, how is this occasional????? This judge is a joke and doesn't care if you are disabled or not, he only cares about his number of denials so he looks good to his supervisor!!!! If you get this judge ask for a new judge, move, or settle for a denial. Kansas is the worst state in the United States for denials and there is a reason because of ALJs like him. He totally disregarded both of the doctors my husband seen and he saw him more than once, plain out lied about that. He assumes and lies don't TRUST him one bit!!!

Hi, I've been fighting this system for years and even been before Mary Brennan which led my case before a Appeal Council who remanded it back to her because the facts did not add up. That was almost a year ago, I've been hospitalized and chain to beds like a dog in the streets because I have seizure and even through I do as my doctors ask it's still happens. I will be going to court soon but until then all I do is

Horrible Judge, if you have to sit in front of him be prepared to be denied. He ignored all my husband's medical evidence. How does he know in 30-45 minutes my husband's pain and mental issues which he disregarded a licensed psychologist's clinical evaluation. He told my husband he wasn't obese enough to have the issues he has, wtf??? My husband is 60 pounds overweight. Also, the two jobs he was told he could do both involve cleaning floors, scrubbing walls, helping others consistently and my husband has injuries that prevent him from physical work, did he look at that NOPE. Also, in the same report it states my husband can't work around others constantly, but in one of the two jobs you are a helper that has to be around people or other employees constantly unless you work in a building without anyone else there how the hell do they get repairs done otherwise - the helper who my husband has no experience at all doing this. On top of that my husband is 50 years old and you want to teach him a new job, good luck with that. If you have this judge find another one if you can!!!!!

Sounds like this asshole needs to be sued and taken out of his position for incompetence and nit really being a judge at all under the Tort Claims Act that says you can sue any government official for personals grievances and their pure idiocy and abuse of power. This jerk off did the same to me just like everyone on here! Please use this information to be a thorn in the creeps side for the rest of his days in his fat seat.

Her Honor was a very pleasant and fair judge. She studied my medical records like a good judge should. I was approved but even if I hadn't been, I was happy with her questioning and overall professionalism. Judgement was less than a month which surprised me after hearing all the horror stories.

This whole process is so overwhelming and very upsetting.. to be so sick every day of ones life and your fate lies in the hands of someone who doesn't know you. It's not like I asked for all of these diseases. It's not like I begged to be crippled and everything else going on that I can NOT control.

I am writing this to all who give judges 5 stars before they hear results and also to the nature of the disability system in MO which is legitimately corrupt. I believe judges should be fair and reasonable and LISTEN to the medical reasons for a disability as well as examine Dr. records. Some judges will do this and still reject your claim. Others will be rude and talk over your comments and ignore everything you say just to deny you. This is wrong and these judges need to be removed from the bench. The press should have revealed this long ago. From my understanding, the system uses the monies for disability claims to also pay the judges and then give them a bonus if they deny claims more than approve if there is money left over. This is highly questionable and unfair. I believe the entire system needs to be setup again properly with good judges and a fair payment to them for service not from the funds of the afflicted. I hope Governor-Elect Eric Greitens can clean up and drain prejudicial and unfair swamp soon! St. Louis and MO is in dire need of a major change in our judicial system to make it fair and equitable for real hurting disabled individuals and not give out awards for skin color or any other reason.

I hope Governor-Elect Eric Greitens can clean up and drain prejudicial and unfair swamp soon! St. Louis and MO is in dire need of a major change in our judicial system to make it fair and equitable for real hurting disabled individuals and not give out awards for skin color or any other reason.
I am writing this to all who give judges 5 stars before they hear results and also to the nature of the disability system in MO which is legitimately corrupt. I believe judges should be fair and reasonable and LISTEN to the medical reasons for a disability as well as examine Dr. records. Some judges will do this and still reject your claim. Others will be rude and talk over your comments and ignore everything you say just to deny you. This is wrong and these judges need to be removed from the bench. The press should have revealed this long ago.

Judge Mueller has a 20% case approval rating. If you are unfortunate enough to have Judge Mueller choosen for your hearing, consider the backseat of the car you have been living in for the past two years, waiting for your hearing, to be your new home. How there can be a 40% difference between judges case approval ratings is beyond me. At least a convicted criminal in the US is guaranteed a warm bed and three meals a day.

Korin Mueller has one of the lowest case approval ratings. If you are unfortunate enough to have her appointed as your Judge, consider your hearing as only a formality. How there can be a 40% difference between Judges approval of cases is beyond me. The judge you are assigned is most important part of deciding your approval for SSD. How you dress, behave, or answer questions is secondary. The most important factor is the Judge that you are assigned. Just hope that the Judge lottery does not appoint Korin Mueller as your judge.

I am about ready to have a nervous breakdown because i do not have insurance & am struggling to get my meds and rides to Doctor's appointments & i am in so much pain i feel like i am gonna die and all i do is cry & worry because of all my medical conditions . I was suppose to go in front of Judge Koren Mueller & got a call after finding a ride & was on my way to the hearing office & the man stated the hearing office closed for the day & i would get a letter in the mail with a new court date . I have been waiting since Feb 2017 for the hearing date . A recent MRI results shows i have Central Spinal Stenosis & Foraminal Stenosis and Neck Nerve damage & Carpal Tunnel in both hands & have PTSD & Anxiety & Depression ,COPD , Diabetes & High Blood Pressure & severe health Problems . My Dr filled a RFC report out and told me i am disabled and have alot of serious ongoing health problems and looking at surgery but will not be able to do it because of no insurance or money to pay for my meds that is keeping me alive . I hope & pray i get approved or another court date and not have to wait longer to see Judge Koren Mueller on Soc sec website it is saying : Hearing Postponed Your scheduled hearing has been postponed or cancelled. If a hearing is still required, we will let you know when we set a new date, time and place for your hearing.

Recently had my hearing with her and I believe she is an overall very nice judge. Just waiting on a decision as of now but other than that she didnt seem as bad as people making her out to be. She's just doing her job.

Over a year has passed since I filed my Social Security Disability claim. I can say it’s been a journey with disappointments, utter shock and a true lesson. Anyone that tells you its simple is by far stretching the truth. In fact it’s complicated and sometimes makes no sense. I’ve worked my whole life and paid in; my deceased husband did as well. Each time I visited the office to drop off paperwork I became upset and shocked. I can understand the long and thorough process because of the fraud. There are people applying that have no business collecting. I understand they are backlogged it’s impossible to catch up because there are so many new applicants. I just found out I’m in the review process. Thank God! Finally. I really don’t want to have to depend on this but have no choice….I’ve lost everything waiting. I have several disabilities that keep me from living a normal life which is what it's suppose to be for. I just found out I’m losing my sight. I tell myself daily to be patient. If you become discouraged waiting, take the time to visit a Social Security Office. I can’t imagine what those poor workers see on a daily basis. Patience is needed for this journey. I say Kudos to any Judge or Employee that takes on the task of working with Social Security.

I had this judge in April he seemed fair but I still haven't got my decision back yet but it's too early. He asked questions and didn't try to judge and was very polite.

I`m really scarred to see this judge cause of her record. I world has been turned inside out since my conditions don`t get any better. Looking at me one would think yes he can work but pain never goes away. There are days when i say get off my butt and work then doing just yard work my body knots up and i`m down for days on end. Cant afford proper doctors and in the time it has cost me my retirement and losing home right now. Dealing with intense pain is one thing but over time it changes one cause there is nothing that can be done. I know i will be denied and homeless, i see it coming. Being under 50 hurts me to so no options left. I`m just so tired of not being able to afford health care and the life i have been in for the last three years have been the worst i have ever had in my life.I tried to work and now it seems to hurt my case coming up. Its not fair i have been a caretaker twice in my life before the age of 45. Once my wife with ALS and three years ago with my mother with Cancer. A **** shame people abuse the system so my case will be that much harder. Know i find out i have this judge and she has a disapprovel rate this high. Doesn`t get much better than this.Why couldn`t i of died instead of my wife and mother it would of been a lot easier on everyone

Another bias ALJ who is abusive. She doesn't pay claims unless its amended onset the day of the hearing. She does get remanded frequently because she has total disregard for the applicable law

Well she made me feel like a dirt bag with no compassion at all. For the fact its not a perfect world i tried to work and get questioned for it. I dont want to be on disability my whole life, i want to get better.I cant provide a good life for my daughter on disability. I made some bad choices in my life when younger that still haunt me. But i have always been a good worker with solid working history. Looks like i will lose my case and this is my gut feeling. I always was told to be polite growing up. She made me feel like i was ignorant. I grew up in a very abusive childhood of verbal assaults. This was like going back in time all over again.

Have been doing hearings over 20 years. This is the only judge I will post on. This judge does not get the fundamental nature of a trial is to be heard by an impartial adjudicator. Perhaps its time Social Security hires judges the same way the rest of the country des through legitimate appointments or elections. In all of my years of practice this is the only judge I would say should be removed from the bench

Totally agree. She is the worst ALJ in the state and among the worst in the country. Unfortunately, despite her obvious bias she will continue to prey on the weak and disabled. SSA is only interested in punishing the ALJ's who they believe are paying too many claims.

This judge is the worst judge I have ever appeared before including State and Federal courts. I have represented claimants in over 1,000 hearings from the west coast to the east coast and she is hands down the worst judge I have ever had the unfortunate privilege to have appeared before. She is rude, mean, crude, abusive, insensitive, and worst of all ignorant as to the applicable laws, rules and regulations. It is impossible to prepare your client to appear before this ALJ because she treats the attorneys just as horribly as the claimants. Multiple complaints have been filed with Creve Coeur ODAR, Social Security and the Chief Judge all to no avail. She requests claimants obtain information that is not relevant to their case and constantly continues hearings to obtain information that does not exist for a particular claim all to just deny the case in the end. DO NOT give up on your good claim just move closer to downtown St. Louis to get out of the Creve Coeur jurisdiction OR to another state.

I have been very close to walking out of the hearing office with her due to her abusive and ignorant behavior. I personally know of two or three reps who actually did.

The Honorable Judge Pappenfus presided over my case over a year ago. While I did not enter into the hearing with any expectations of the Judge being amiable, neither did I expect the disdain in which I was treated. But despite leaving the hearing near tears, I left choosing to believe that she was not a pernicious person at heart, but that she might possibly be having such a serious cause of concern in her private life so that her attentions might have been elsewhere. And as such, I earnestly prayed for her and her family. And while she did not award a favourable decision (and based in part on her complete and utter lack of regard to my physicians statements, the Federal Courts have since ruled to remand my case back to the ALJ for review, and in a different city this time), I continue to keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Regardless of all that I’ve read, I still refuse to believe that she is a bad person. And for those who have suffered her disapproval and your cases end up getting remanded, look on the bright side...your next ALJ can't be any worse. :)

She is quite possibly the worst judge in the country. She has no heart and no soul. The administration and everyone affiliated should be embarrassed that so many have been denied without having a full and fair hearing. I wonder how many who would normally be found disabled in front of most average judges have died as a result of her intentional disregard for the law.

To say you tried and worked in front of this judge she will chew your *** out. Told her i tried to work and it didn`t go good. She told me if i thought i was disabled why did i try to work ? Feeling of self worth and seeing if i could. She shouldn`t be on bench at all something is wrong with her. I`m no expert but i have seen people that are not stable and she is on top of the list. I understand everyone coming in front of her does not qualify for benefits, but she takes her hearing to a whole another level. I feel sorry for anyone that has to go in front of this person. You can be good at your job but her disrespecting of people who go in front of her is not called for. She had me in tears and chewed up my lawyer and made her look bad. I think about ending my life everyday cause of what i go threw and that day almost pushed me over the edge.But i believe life will get better in time and pray every night for happiness and just having one good day a week helps me make it thru the week. I will never say a prayer for this women she needs to step down and go home to kick her dog. Sorry for post but i had to vent some how. Good luck for anyone who goes in front of this mean person.

I think about ending my life everyday cause of what i go threw and that day almost pushed me over the edge.But i believe life will get better in time and pray every night for happiness and just having one good day a week helps me make it thru the week. I will never say a prayer for this women she needs to step down and go home to kick her dog. Sorry for post but i had to vent some how. Good luck for anyone who goes in front of this mean person.
To say you tried and worked in front of this judge she will chew your *** out. Told her i tried to work and it didn`t go good. She told me if i thought i was disabled why did i try to work ? Feeling of self worth and seeing if i could. She shouldn`t be on bench at all something is wrong with her. I`m no expert but i have seen people that are not stable and she is on top of the list.

Worst judge hands down anywhere in any court,not just social security.Is the most confrontational ,ill-manner person you will ever meet.Asks stupid irrelevant questions and has no empathy towards anyone,regardless of how sad their situation may be.Yelled at a claimant who had an operated brain tumor because she struggled to express herself concisely enough.Has no regards to any standards of decency or civility.

Just wanted her know my brother took his life last month. Maybe she should understand what pain can do to someone before she treats them like ****. He came out of her hearing crying and upset do to her behavior towards him He was never able to get over it. Better understand people before you judge all people the same. Sincerely, I hope you live a lonely life like our family has to.

Wanted to say thanks to the judge although i`m losing my home. I gave every effort to be productive in everyday life. I`m glad i can get medical treatment as i need specialist to dig deeper into me and get back to work and be productive. Thanks for favorable decision. Disability is no way to live it`s a daily struggle to stay positive since i was always active in my life. Thanks again

This Is the worst Judge ever, She lost my medical records made a decision on my case without all the evidence sent me a letter of a unfavorable decision. I went to the odar office to show them all the evidence was not considered , Then they reactivated my case to just add the new evidence with the same decision. I have filed a complaint before the hearing and after the hearing. I spoke with the director and nothing was done. I wasn't even sworn in till ten min after the hearing had started. The clerk told her she forgo to swear me in. I had notes with me as well and she told me that I couldn't use them. This has to be a joke at this office. What happened to what the law says. My lawyer says according to the law I should have been approved. She treats no one with respect and as lots of complaints on file and they do nothing. The sessions are recorded all they have to do is listen in what is the problem. She will have to answer to a higher power. She is a joke and so is everyone there for letting her stay employed.

Before we even went on the record I was reprimanded like a child for trying to eat a mint. My medication and condition makes my mouth dry! It seemed like she had me pegged as a liar before i even opened my mouth. She has some sort superiority complex. Her attitude was standoffish and accusatory! I told the truth for EVERY question she asked me and i am pretty sure i will penalized for it. i KNOW i am sick. My doctors KNOW i am sick. This woman has NO RIGHT to sit there and act like she has any idea what being sick and in pain is like let alone hold other people's lives in her hands. I was fighting tears the whole hearing but was afraid of letting even one tear fall in front of this heartless woman! What kind of person, law aside, treats people that way?!!

Very hard judge but if evidence is there she will grant your case eventually. Hardest judge there is but saying this i`m sure a lot of people go in front of her with bogus claims. I had some good job offers tried to work until last one put me in hospital with TIA. When she approved me i had so many emotions going on in my head of joy,relief, and thankful it was over and i`m not crazy. My lawyer didn`t win my case, my evidence did and judge knowing i gave it **** trying not go on ssd. She is tough as they come but i`m happy with her decision and want to thank her from bottom of my heart.

Worst Judge Ever......She more or less so called me a liar and said the only reason I stopped seeing my Doctor was because he wouldn't prescribe me narcotics which is a TOTAL lie....I started seeing my doc in 2012 and that's when she said I dropped him was in 2012 even my lawyer cant stand her cause he warned me about her before I had to go in front of her........Lets just say I would have honestly rather went in front of Judge Judy

This Judge and my attorney tried to coerce me into taking no back pay and was going to approve me if I didn't. I refused to take the deal , as I have been living off my credit cards. She denied me. I'm going to expose her coercion.. This was before the trial started, so she could look at my records and clearly see I'm disabled, but yet punished me because I needed and wanted my entitled back pay!! She's as dirty as they come. I'm not finished! That was illegal!

She never asked me about my medical condition but she did grill me about my religious beliefs,where does that belong in any court room. An attorney I know says she has been thrown from the bench. It should have been the roof!. -10 rating

Although i was very unimpressed with the lack of care my physicians paid to my records i felt as if Judge Schum listened with courtesy and respect to what i had to say about my conditions. I am unsure how the verdict will turn but i can say while in his chambers his honor treated me with dignity and respect.

I mean look at his denial rates ridiculous

My wife and I have been waiting for a decision for five months, we just got the decision today and Judge Schum strikes again by denying a clearly disabled woman her rightful benefits. A 54% denial rate indicates bias and he needs to be removed from the bench.

Judge Schum was very condescending and rude to both myself and my attorney. He asked minimal questions after I waited 24 months for my hearing. Told me his decision wouldn’t come down for a couple of months and I received an unfavorable decision within days of my hearing. My doctors can’t believed it for as disabled as I am.

I found this judge to be completly unfair, rude, and should not be on the bench! In his report for the hearing he basicly called me a liar, which I am NOT!, He ignored every single piece of medical evidence, EXCEPT, the report written up by the doctor social security appointed, which also was a very biased report. Through-out the report he kept refering back to the report done by SSA doctor, as consistant with the other medical evidence, when this doctors report was completly opposite of what ALL THE OTHER EVIDENCE showed!..Completly unfair judge

I had the pleasure of working with Judge Steitz. He is the most thoughtful, fair and best ALJ the system has. It will be very hard to find anyone who works as hard as this man does at his job. He CARES about his cases and the people that come before him. If you are lucky enough to go before him, you will be treated with respect.

RE: Add.Evi.Propd.Recs Purpose:New Evid. To req. From follw, Subjects; To: Hon. Judge Tobias David, It is of great grievance that it is hard for me to recite the law. I have great concern of the evidence issues and statements according to my condition presented by my sonograms, ex rays, catscans, MRIs income, behalf of my kidney and my surgery of my lower back degenarating spine. I imply to please take notice how much of the negative I have to succumb by the progress notes of my residence concerning (if any), statement of my condition and progress of my rehabilitation here. Truly there is a lot of questions that by Law must be answered accordingly towards the official evidence of condition statements from the surgeon's practitioners and the specialists doctors. The newly findings may surely have no official documents and have proceeded to state nothing more what probaly isnt correct and in contrary to my official evidence here at BQNH. Hon. Tobias David I humbly request such findings your honorable judgement be imposed to answer all these defects of statements and humbly appoint me all extensions applicable in your honorable chamber to conclude a favorable decision to satisfy and end my emotional physical suferings. I thank you so very much for your time and attention in this grieving matter, Yours truly, Pedro j Perez Jr.

I just went before judge Tobias yesterday 4/4/17 and he seemed fair and asked all questions due to my medical records from multiple doctors. I did not think the vocational testimony from the woman was correct or fair and there were so many questions and answers I wanted to answer her but couldn't I am awaiting my decision from the judge and feel with over 800 pages of medical evidence and the medicine I take dayialy that I could be denied I can not work I just hope and pray that the judge can see that it's a horible thing being this sick at my age but it's all genetic and holes in my heart from birth and the nurological problems and breathing asthma with machines to sleep at night wich don't even work I can never work a full or part time job I would be absent more then 20% easily and would get fired in an instant. Please your honor I am in horrible health and had to move in with my parents as a single dad and haven't worked since 2010 before that I was a workaholic I can't even walk or play with my son and that breaks my heart. I wish I can be 100% healthy my life would be a billion times easier and better and funner. So I feel this judge will decide on proof and evedance so for that reason I think he was a nice judge who will do his job. Thank you for letting me comment
