Apparently this ALJ is not willing to support veterans with PTSD. Client has over 650 pages of VA records supporting his severe impairment; this ALJ did not mention them in his decision.

God will judge the wicked judge by Jesus. Judge Mcarthur Allen needs to accept Jesus Christ into his life or else he will finally get what he deserves.

I've worked for a law firm that has done Social Security law for 20+ years and who won't take a claim unless he feels the person is disabled. He's had a 95% record of favorable decisions until Fayetteville ODAR opened up. What a train wreck! I really feel for the claimant's who desperately deserve to be on disability and are denied. They then go to the Appeals Council where they sit for another 12 - 18 months while the claimant's lose everything they've worked for.

He is a joke for an ALJ!!!! I was denied on the grounds that the doctors that I was MADE to go to were not creditable!!?? Are you kidding me? They are licensed in our state and treating patients,performing surgeries,prescribing medications yet they are not creditable!!?? Wow!!

I loved this judge she was sincere and understanding if all people can have a heart like her i think this world would go great. thank you judge alonzo for understanding my concerns and pain SHE'S THE BEST
I went to my hearing yesterday with Judge Sylvia H Alonso she was very professional very understanding in my case I like so much the way she approaches questions like how frequently i made my nails my answer was once a month because with that question demostrates my honesty also she ask me about how long ago i broke up with my boyfriend i answered the true he broke up with me because my sickness and my tedious treatment of prescriptions that generated a lot of side effect like my lack of energy to perform the majority of activities i feel very sad and with a lack of hoping about life and cancer recovery is not easy but i have to said thank you dios for my life and to provide me with a fear and understanding judge that make me feel positive in my case I dont know the results yet but regardless the result I have to say she knows that i cannot perform the jobs that the vocational witness mentioned as security and light duties is not in my background as a po and also i try in an alternative field in a store as lost prevention and i cannot be stand or seated for long periods of time no more than 15 minutes and i have days i cannot move from bed and my frequency to oncology and psychiatric is every month and medical doctor every week for blood test and hormones teraphy i have to be ausent more than three times in a week and i dont think no job duties accepting that but anyway the process was limited time only 25 minutes and the end the vocational witness consumed the majority the time at the end but in resume, the judge very strong but fair at the same time I trust her more than my attorney or anybody involved in my case Thank god for the judge Silvia H Alonso I know for her professionalism she is going to understand my case. signed a 62 yrs old woman cancer survivor on hormonal treatment and psychiatric treatment with a lot side effect thank you god and thank you Judge.........with all my eternal respect.
This judge is hearing my case in November. Based on the percentage of denials (58), and approved (22) percent, the lowest of all the judges, it just made my depression worst! The national average for approvals is 44 percent! Her rate is half of that! Wish me luck.
This woman is a monster. She is a vile, ugly and a sinister human being. Her apathy is disheartening. Doctors that I've seen know her by name and one told me, "SHE HURTS PEOPLE." She loves her power and it's all that she craves and eminates in her hearings. She dismisses and scoffs at medical documents and medical expertise. LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN: SHE DISMISSES MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION, MEDICAL RECORDS AND MEDICAL EXPERTISE!!!!!! She will look over your claim with an agenda already decided and will sway and manipulate your documents to make her decision justified. She will call you a liar, as she did me, and make you feel hopeless and less than. She compared one of my disabilities to "a couple people I [she] knows" are fine. - With all due respect, Judge Alonso, anyone who rubs shoulders with someone of your power SHOULD NEVER BE COMPARED TO ME AND MY LIFE! EVER! She belittles doctor medical assessments. She shows that she is more powerful than anything a doctor says or diagnosed. She questions you only to try and catch you. There is absolutely no compassion or care in her hearings. This woman is a judge because she wants power and gets off on it. I pray that she finds love through Christ because she is a mean and nasty human being. The least she can do is show compassion for the claimant but she will not and never will. Remember, "SHE HURTS PEOPLE."
This judge is very negligent, unforgiving, and should not be practicing law, clearly does not know the law. She requires the utmost, you can have substantial evidentiary support, records, labs, and clinical notes and she will still push your case to their “medical expert” which gives contradicting information/reviews. She is extremely negligent, failed to review records and important documents that were submitted to her MONTHS prior to hearing. She doesn't care to hear much of a testimony from the patient. She demeanor seems very judgmental and seems prematurely deny case before you have even been given a fair chance to deliver your testimony.
This judge should be removed from power she is evil and considers herself above the law
This Judge needs to be FIRED! I am a disabled 100% P&T Service Connected Veteran with military medical records. And 3 MD's professional opinions and medical evidence for my military disability. All my records are from military service and the VA. Sylvia H Alonso, gets off on her power and scoffs and made faces. Snatching her glasses off during my hearing. And yelled at me about "what I looked liked". Sylvia H Alonso will make your case what "SHE FEELS" she wants your case to be. Not giving any consideration to the education of the medical professionals, Doctors, records, and the governments written rules of law for injured or disabled veterans. Disabled in the line of duty with medical records from the United States Military Government. Sylvia H. Alonso rules according to her personal beliefs. She will play with your life like its a toy. And humiliate you in the process. I lost my home and had to file bankruptcy due to the negligence of a timely decision that's now at 9 years! Once my case was expedited. This so called "Judge" took her time and denied my case AGAIN. Not once did she mention I was a service connected disabled military veteran. She ask questions to catch you in something or a lie. So she can twist your case to favor a denial for her personal beliefs. Sylvia H. Alonso behavior was recorded during my hearing for social security. I have filed a complaint letter with the social security administration to warn them of her behavior. My case was sent to appeal through my lawyers. But that's another 18 months of waiting. ON TOP OF 9 YEARS! Let me make this clear. This could have been settled by Sylvia H Alonso.. But this woman made a choice to give an unfavorable decision again based on her personal beliefs. THIS WOMAN IS A BLACK HEARTED MONSTER! Sylvia H Alonso enjoys her power over Doctors, other Judges rulings and lawyers. If the doctor says your sick. Sylvia says your cured! Have a nice day... I thank God and the VA for being their for me. The Veterans Administration is AWSOME! And I credit them with saving my life! May God bless the workers at the VA. I love the United States of America. And If given the opportunity, I would defend this great country again!
The judge thanked me for my service to my county, and my state of Alabama for 25 and 29 years. THANKS ,your welcome .
My first hearing was postponed by Judge South who was very nice and helpful and advised me to retain counsel before proceeding with my hearing, promising he would get me a new hearing date in a timely manner and he did so. He was suppose to reside over that case, however he had a conference on that date and Judge Anderson proceeded over my case. I was absolutely terrified, but Judge Anderson was very diligent and asked many questions, the right questions if you will, he was extremely nice and compassionate and I was given a fully favorable decision at the hearing and received it by mail in less than two weeks as he so promised. I feel both judges played a part in my favorable decision so I thank them both. Having a disability and waiting years to see a judge is terribly stressful and I am very grateful for these two judges being so compassionate.
Judge Andersan is an extremely fair ALJ and has a character beyond reproach. God bless America.

Had my first ever ODAR hearing with Judge Anderson. I don't know the outcome but I felt that the claimant was treated fairly and received a thorough hearing.
I had my hearing with Judge Thurman Anderson, and I got the feeling that he would be fair. I didn't know for sure, but I had a feeling. I received a fully favorable decision, and I took the time to read every word. I wasn't just concerned about getting my benefits...I wanted to know how he came to his decision, because I have been suffering for such a long time. He was very thorough and I believe he could tell just how much I've been through. I feel so blessed that I had an ALJ who was willing to review all of the evidence, and make a decision based on that evidence. Thank God for Judge Anderson.
Anderson did seem fair, although he asked no questions, I think it's a good thing. Good feeling I'll be approved. My life depends on it so I'll know soon .
I had 4 hearings with him and he denied ALL 4 claimants, this is statistically impossible. I do not know what his gig is but he will have to learn the hard way about aggressive South Florida lawyers.

There are no words to explain how I feel but I will try, After going before Judge Andres in Ft. Lauderdale 3 Minutes into the hearing, I felt like I was A piece of **** asking for Disability help for a Broken Toe. My family and I are Devastated beyond words or description My Treating Doctors are "Blown Away" that I was denied. Now I know why so many people decide Suicide and kill themselves. If the public could see my evidence,....Well, It's one that would shock the Conscious of the Community..... i.e. Blow peoples minds...

These posts really scare me!!! From what I understand, I have to go before this Judge. I went for a hearing already and a decision was made, but because the Judge retired, the decision is void and I have to go for another hearing. I am in desperate need of help and now after reading these comments, it looks as though I may not have much luck in getting the help I need. Signed, homeless!!

I am appalled at the courtesy afforded to me on my initial visit. I phone in I get told in a very courteous manner waiting for med. rec. which should be in by the 17th call back after that. The next day recv. docs. from the court the first in a very official way. The latter doc. was very unprofesional and illegible. consider this within my 10 days to reply. Thabk You. MJL/0632
Nervious, after almost 3 years to get see him, and two months ago. a law firm starts with "P" miss leaded me to believe I had terminated their empolyement for poor communication skills,and laziness. I rescheared and found a local go gether that knows how to hunt for the paper work. Anyway I feel better going it alone,at this point. Cant even afford anymore time. Really Lost how people can get medical documation, Nobody within 3 counties wont take Medicad share of cost... My duedilgence, he is one of the highest 10% paid Adminstrative Judges, which means he's good and knows his "A" game. I have lost my life twice, Daughter,wife( after 24yrs.) It takes so long to get here, if favorably then another 3months or more before the calvary comes. Guess thats cause people trying to get for broken toes....still cant believe that. the way i look at his stats its a 50/50 chance, top ten in Admin. Judges i wouldve to give him a 10 even if i am diened .... Paper work i found out is 80% your case and 20% is testimony.
Judge Andres had his mind made up on me and I never had a chance. But what bothered me most was the paperwork that came explaining his decision. It was full of inaccuracies and mistakes. During my last hearing his told me to be brief with my answers, he rushed me. Part of my problem is an inability to express myself quickly my concentration is limited. So Judge Andres had me speak quickly but the doctors just took their sweet time answering all the questions and in the process this only confused me further. Don't like this judge but more importantly have no respect for his actions. Shameful. Ask yourself.....If you went to any law school and asked students what law career they hoped to pursue, very few if any, would say they hoped someday to be a judge in a disability court.
Further reading of his decision has left me shocked. Judge Andres interpretation of what took place is a joke. To think he is in such an important position that effects many peoples lives is scary. This is sickening abuse of one mans power. Being turned down is something I could have handled if not for the obvious mishandling of information by this judge. This is a sad bureaucratic system at work.
Once again I had a hearing with Judge Andres on Dec. 10th 2018. When I told the judge about the report he filed on me and that it was filled with mistakes he blew it off saying someone else writes the reports. This time he made mention of the fact that I was in his words 'Articulate' I asked how could that matter? I then asked the Doctor if a person could be both disabled and articulate, the doctor said of course. This Judge James Andres has been unfair to me since day one and he does not listen well. I suffer from heart disease and PTSD. If you have to see this Judge bring a lawyer with you because without one he will only take advantage of you as he did with me. I could go on and on about the way he treated me but I wish other people well and better success if you sit before this man.
Wow i just had an hearing with him a week ago and after hearing all these comments am not sure about anything and i need the help because of my mental illness

very nice judge, never once said a negative word to me. now its just a waiting game for the decision. I have plenty medical records to prove my case but i really believe that in alot of these cases people are in fact disabled but the judge just doesnt wanna hear it. which is wrong in so many ways.i mean when you look at some of these judges approval rates in the low 20% range you pretty much know your chance of getting it is over.

Guess he needs glasses or his competency level isnt there gives very little weight to dds drs but says my medical records indicate my limitations are more severe than dds drs say, then just finds me unfavorable. You need to retire rather than collecting pay from disability insurance just to deny people! I rate your approval rating a total thumbs down.
NEED HELP! Last job 2007. Filed 2009. Multiple Incurable Illnesses. Long time still suffering!
Judge Arnold was very kind and seemed very understanding to my daughter situation. We’ve been fighting for social security for 3 years for my adopted daughter who is autistic. We are waiting for his descision but I am confident about how court went he seems fair. But we shall see.
I had a hearing in April of 2019 and then in June got a letter that he wants to do a rehearing which is set for the middle of next month November 2019 No one i know has ever heard of this happening.i hope this is a good thing
This judge is a joke. I have been fighting since 2017 and had two different hearings in front of him. I ended up in the hospital for a nervous break down and he said he would get all then info from the hospital and the doctor I was seeing after the hospital. He sent me the info from the hospital but not the new doctor and denied me without getting all the new medical evidence. He needs to retire and let people that can see and hear do there job as a judge
The judge baker is the best in miami odar office he aprove my case quikly

I am the mother of a 21years old young male who always had asthma heart murmur and developmental delays .Started school and has had an IEP since he was 3. At the age of 14 he went into cardiac arrest got a pacemaker at 15 and restrictive lungs and still has delays Joseph Saintelus takes 11pills a day not including his asthma pumps and he doesn't have the friends he used too he went into a shell therapy reports show Joseph has problems with depression you denied him without looking over his whole case he couldn't go to any heart specialist for three months no insurance and children and families wouldn't help because you already denied him without checking the new evidence. I am already on a fixed income paying 500 deductible for heart surgery it's sad when you live here and can't get proper help. For anyone going to court always have a lawyer or you will get screwed this is for Joseph Joey Saintelus i am your voice we been waiting months for Medicaid with no help
Hi, I really don't understand why the Judge's act more like their doctors instead of Judging you on facts. They find everything that has nothing to do with your case and truly letting people suffer and some are dying waiting on a decision. I watch a judge misuse her authority and denied a lady of a breathing treatment and this lady died. People don't give up and please don't go back to work and put other and your life in danger just because you are denied. You have rights, stick to them because if anybody gets hurt because you was not supposed to be working. You got to live with that. I can't really Rate this judge yet but I felt she was being more of a doctor than a judge.
I'm so saddened that a justice system sit back and let Judge's take people life and safety in their hands like a joke. After my appeal this judge went against all medical evidence and got a medical doctor that was limited to all my medications and limited to all the findings in my case and use him as a witness. If a Doctor does not have all medical records and Never seen you how could he say or judge me on my disability. I don't need a attorney to speak for me, it common sense. I will not stand bye and be rail roaded by this system because that not right. I'll do anything to work if I could, but I will not put my life in danger or other just because this judge is trying to save money and lie. I am faithful and she might not like her judgement but all I ask is to be fair and Honest. Stop treating hard working people as if they trying to take from the system. But give to the one who never work because they don't have to pay back pay. Shameful and I'm going all the way if I have too Federal Court.
Hi, once again I lay in pain after having several seizure and being admitted into the hospital. I'm still fighting for my disability and most say get a lawyer but I was doing better going on my own because it's like they all work together. I can't really rate this judge because the ball is always in her court and the Vocational Advocate is already sitting in the room when you get their so who knows what they have talked about when it comes to your case. Lord it's in your hands now because I'm to weak to keep fighting this system that is designed for a person of my age and disability to fail. Been before the Council and he wanted my case expedited and I'm still suffering and fighting. But most of all I still am unable too work because of my condition which is the matter of the whole case. Where Is the Justice.
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
Hi, once again I've went before this judge and even through its been a long road she finally to acted like she really cares. I haven't got my decision but to know that she looked at my case with a lil more understanding made me feel a lil better about this system. When the appeal judge sent my case back I never thought this could happen but I'm praying and taking my meds and staying home around family that I know will care for me when I have a sezuire. That's for having my case and that for letting me release some of this pressure
I worked for 40 years and paid my government over a million dollars in taxes. I could no longer work due to my disability's and ask for my benefits that I paid for over those 40 years so I could take care of my 80 year old mother, the widow of a Veteran and policeman. We were hungry and needed food, we were thirsty and needed to drink, so we came to Michael Carr and pleaded for help and he said depart from me. Now he and his family will face the same treatment he gave to us, as it is written in God's word: Mathew 25 / 31-46 “Then He will say to those on His left, Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, Then they (Michael Carr and his) also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me. And these (Michael Carr and his) will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” You and yours, please enjoy Hell, and I will be there with the Lord as a testament against you on that day, you cursed a Veteran and Policeman's widow and her children, now the curse is on you and all you care about, Lon Ross, I will be there on your day of judgment before the Lord.
Don't give up, We The People do have the power to make changes to corruption in our government. Many don't know that as a US citizen you have the right to have “ANY” US employee investigated for miss use of power by your Congressman. I am opening a Congressional CASE investigation into how I have been mistreated and discriminated against by the SSDI and Judge Michael Carr, I am also naming Carolyn W. Colvin Social Security Administration “ACTING” Commissioner of SSI for the entire country. All you have to do is look up who your Congressman is and ask for the form to file a Congressional investigation into your case. They are required by law to investigate your case and determine if your were treated unfairly. If we can get enough people to file and name the unfair Judges, we can get them removed from office, as well as the “ACTING” director who is not doing her job by getting rid of the bad apples on her own. In my case, I have a M.D, that has me listed as permanently disabled and my medical records state several conditions that qualify me for my benefits, as well and a PhD that filled out all the required SSDI forms needed to qualify me for my benefits and I am over the 55 year old age requirement for the lowest level of requirements for my benefits, yet Michael Carr took half a year after my hearing to let me know he knows more then the MD's and PhD's about my conditions. He also knew that my only hope for fair treatment would be to appeal to SSDI for a review. Well guess what, ALL appeals are sent back to Michael Carr's office in Falls Church, VA to just be turned down by Judge Carr and his friends in his own office! When this is brought to light by enough of us requesting Congressional investigations into this clearly corruptible practice, We The People can get these unfair Judges and the Carolyn W. Colvin the“ACTING” commissioner of SSI, removed form ever abusing their power at any government job again! I appealed to Her office when I learned of the corrupt policy of sending my case back to Michael Carr's own office just to be turned down and what I got instead of help from her office, was a immediate refusal to even review my case from Michael Carr's own office. ARE YOU WITH ME, it's WE THE PEOPLE TIME!! Please contact your Congressman TODAY! When WE THE PEOPLE start hundreds or thousands of Congressional investigations in to this corrupt system, things will change and quickly! God bless all who will fight, and He will fight for us too. Thanks
This judge is really a great judge. She took the time to hear and understand me and my illness. I really appreciated having her to hear my case. Thank you Judge Chzarnowski.
Mary you are good woman and I love you for this, all the best from Australia, Waldemar
Hard to say. Seems sweet. Just waiting for decision is a killer. Seem to be getting worse
When you get your decision, if denied first of all appeal but more importantly read thoroughly. I had this judge and got denied. There were many discrepancies, lies and fabrications concerning my medical records.
This judge was great she actually listened to what I had to say and actually made her decision from what was in the medical record and what my dr had said.I had a previous hearing with a different judge who was very combative and just went by the ss a examiner's who never met me. She wrote she didn't believe my dr or what was in the medical record. Thank you judge Cyrus you have made a huge difference
It took me three years and a lot of my own energy and work due to slack on my attorneys part to get my SSDI approved. Judge sarah Cyrus is my heroine because she pointed out to me that my attorney’s had been “waiting” my case out for max payment. Due to their negligence I’m sorry to say I will be losing my left lower leg. But judge Cyrus personally set up my SSA appt and expedited my insurance so I could finnaly get the help I deserved. If I could take to dinner anyone in the world, dead or alive, I would choose judge Cyrus because decent people are scarce. Thank you for your service you give me hope that there are people out there that care.
Without a doubt one of the best and compassionate Judge's on the bench. He understands claimants and hopefully SSA will get the message and hire more Judges like him.

I went before this Judge and he was very understanding. He listened like he really cared. Sadly, from what I understand, he has retired and all his cases have been passed along to other Judges and all his decisions were void and claimants have to for another hearing and start all over again. I waited 2 years for a hearing, and a decision was made after my hearing with Judge Determan and now that decision is no good, so I have to start all over again. I don't think this is in fair in the least bit!!

Judge yasmin Elias was the judge at my hearing she was very nice and very professional a give here 5 stars
Judge Elias used many partial statements so it would appear to mean the opposite of what the actual full event was so it could be used against me. If the entire statement was used in context, it would have been in my favor. She did this several times throughout the decision process. She said I had therapy that I did not. Medical records verify that. Even omitted statements from the vocational expert that were in my favor. Obviously my case was denied because of her false statements and half assed statements. Why have a vocational expert if you're going to ignore him. He said there was no jobs for me given my conditions when my lawyer asked. She must of had a hearing problem during that moment.
Just received my unfavorable decision from Judge Elias. Her decision process was erratic and biased without any consideration for the actual medical diagnosis. She used the opinions of doctors who have no actual medical experiance in the field of medicine needed to make a proper diagnosis. She used 2 medical opinions from two M.D.s who never actualy met me or knew any thing about me other than my name. She stated in her opinion that the medical evidence provided by 2 specialist in the field of medicine specifically related to my disease were " we will not defer or give any specific evidentiary weight to any prior adminstrative medical findings or medical opinions from your medical sources." She then claims that the 2 doctors with zero expertise, one an opthamologis or an eye docter and two, a G.P who was reprimanded by the Arizona medical board for Failing to recognise a Tachycardia event in a patient. Or laymens term a heart attack. So the expert medical opinions of 2 doctors with Zero eperience in making medical decisions on disease or disabilities they have no experiance in, out weighs the medical experiance of doctors who have dedicate there lives to specializing in.. These specialists i had to see to get the medical tests from, were requested by ssa to substantiate my medical condition in order to file my claim for disability. Her decision to ignore actual evidence and make an opinion using failed logic is disturbing. If a judge used this same logic path in a criminal trial the legal system would protect the accused. But it seems in a hearing for disability there is no form of protection or law that states all evidence provided must be used and that any expert testimony must come from an actual doctor who specializes in the field of medicine required to make an actual diagnosis. As it is today ill be requesting an appeal through my attourney as well as contacting my state representative to investigate Judge Elias and her opinions over the last few years to determine weather there is any bias or discriminatory practices . I followed the leter of the law in starting the disability claim, i followed the requested visitations and appointments with the specialists required by the SSA to show medical evidence of my disability , and when the medical evidence showed the diagnosis for the disease stated in the claim for disability She chose it ignore it and discard it an myself without any thought to my situation.
She ignored all of the medical experts and formed an opinion based on her own personal opinions, a travesty.

Received my long awaited decision, it wasn't fully favorable but that's because Judge Evans was fair to both sides. I believe his judgement was impressive because what I read in his findings was a judge that not only took my professional doctors words but also heard my personal battle with my disorders. He made the right decision, I told the complete truth an when he pushed for a answer I didn't think what was the right or wrong answer I gave him the honest one. If you go in front of him, tell him 100% what it is that's going on with your disability he listen, but remember he's very sharp : ) he wants to here the way it is an you show him respect an he returns that in his court room. God bless his decision, he tuff but fair. THOMAS

I suffer from uncontrolled epileptic seizures, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, foot drop, severe nerve and muscle damage right leg, nerve damage left leg, and anxiety. Judge Evans denied my disability...I was shocked!..according to his 15 page denial letter, he did not take into consideration the notes from my neurologist, the denial letter stated I have fibromyalgia which I do not have, It was written I have seen doctors in Tampa (um..no... I cannot drive due to seizures)but I live 2 hrs away, and it was shown I was admitted to a facility, when in fact I was not. Judge Evans based his decision upon all of my ER visits due to having grand mal seizures. All the ER doctors were baffled because they are not specialized in seizure disorders and do not realize that 2% of patients on medications still suffer seizures. I have appealed and the appeal was granted. Waiting on another hearing. My conditions have gotten worse. My life has been detrimentally affected due to his lack of investigation and proper research on the evidence that was presented by my attorney. Thumbs down to this judge. He was acting as if he was sitting on the right hand of God that day. Shame on him. I have worked all my life and my medical conditions prevent me from even being able to walk to the mailbox, and seizures several times a week. I feel really bad for the people that will have to go in front of him in the future, especially if you are Caucasian. I was in a prayer group before entering the courtroom. Might I suggest you pray that God will give Judge Evans compassion and pray that God will soften his heart...this denial has absolutely devastated my life, in all ways. Thank you for reading this.

Denied my case with no witnesses and his whole summary said nothing about my medical problems. He stated my angry was not depression related but that I was an alcoholic! I quit drinking 20 years ago in my youth because I was working out and trying to live healthier. Never had a problem with alcohol so this seems like a libel suit. Also the rest of his dribble said nothing about me and he never said a word about my emphysema, left eye blind, no vision right eye, asthma, or anemia. I worked for 30 years and it was not easy but money went into ssd just in case I needed it. We need to get rid of these judges who get paid from this money that was suppose to be for us. How about they give me the money I put in back and we will call it even? Appeals court agreed with me and yesterday it went back to him. He had me see to doctors both paid for by ss and after checking there records, they both see 100 patients a month for ss and have a 99% record of saying people should be denied. At the hearing the judge hired a neor doctor in Texas to testify. I am in Florida. This guy has a 100% denial record. He also has no experience in Psychiatry and optometry yet he testified that I had no depression and could see fine! When my attorney tried to cross examine this guy evans cut him off and refused all his questions! He would not allow my attorney to question him and when he asked to have his testimony thrown out because of Evans denied it. My attorney said he does this to him all the time.

I went before Judge Evans today in Melbourne and therefore will not have a decision anytime soon according to my atty, 3-6 months. However I just wanted to say he seemed very nice and cared about my disability. I think the problem with denials is the use of DOT job descriptions. The vocation expert goes by a book that tells job descriptions according to title. What the VE was reading was no where near my job description but...... The judges have to rule by the book, just sayin!
Terrible judge. Does not apply the rulings and regulations properly and ignores expert testimony. Relies on DDS consultants and rejects opinion evidence offered by treating doctors and consultants.

Well i had entirely different treatment from this 'person' and can not publish my true feelings publicly. I am however in contact with intelligent organizations and superiors who will take the time to review the lack of integrity, honesty, and competence required for his position, and if I had my way, would like nothing better than to see him removed from what is clearly a job that is well above his capabilities.

Don't kid yourself, Jason! He would have moved your case back three times anyway, because he can't handle most situations, either.

She was over my diability case back in 2010. I thought she was very unfair and even my lawyer thought everything went fine. I soon received a letter telling me I was denied. One reason put on it was "inconsistent information provided by the claimant...conscious intention to mislead." She said I was lying. Everything was in my medical records. I have been fighting SSA ever since.

I had my disability hearing in May 2013 with Judge Nicole S Forbes Schmitt. I have to admit that I was very nervous about the hearing, but I think most of my nervousness came from the fact I had viewed this site several times before my hearing. I think reading all the angry and upset comments made it difficult to have a positive outlook. I do understand that this disability process is dragged out too long and can be very frustrating. The fact that I went for TWO YEARS without any type of income caused me a great deal of stress. I was found disabled by Judge Forbes-Schmitt. She was very business-like and detail-oriented but still came across as kind and caring. I was pleasantly surprised after reading the majority of comments on this site which truthfully had me scared to death! If you have a hearing coming up, take my advice and stop reading these posts now! The best thing you can do is make sure you submit all your medical info like xrays, test results and doctors notes. Make sure you get a Disability Lawyer to represent you...don't go into a hearing alone. When the Judge asks you a question, be sure to answer only what you are asked(don't trail off-it might get you in trouble!) and always be truthful. I wish you all the best of luck. (and I hope you are scheduled with Judge Nicole S Forbes Schmitt!)

I was pleasantly surprised after reading the majority of comments on this site which truthfully had me scared to death! If you have a hearing coming up, take my advice and stop reading these posts now! The best thing you can do is make sure you submit all your medical info like xrays, test results and doctors notes. Make sure you get a Disability Lawyer to represent you...don't go into a hearing alone. When the Judge asks you a question, be sure to answer only what you are asked(don't trail off-it might get you in trouble!) and always be truthful. I wish you all the best of luck. (and I hope you are scheduled with Judge Nicole S Forbes Schmitt!)
Judge Gill is calm, straightforward, self-effacing reception for the claimant's testimony, as well as his courteous and concerned demeanor towards claimant and myself, made all present feel at ease and able to most-effectively lay out the case before him as quickly as possible. The word "mensch" comes very much to mind.

Very Fair, very thorough in her decision process, I wish to address all of the people leaving negative feedback on this website. If you have all of your documents in order and have followed all of the rules you have nothing to worried about. This is a legal process that goes by the guidelines that are thoroughly spelled out for each individual if you follow them and meet the requirements for being disabled you will be given a favorable decision, If you do not meet the requirements then stop crying and complaining about the Judge was not fair to you, because baby the judge was fair, you where the one that was unprepared. You and you your self are to blame if you do not get a favorable rating. Follow the law and the law will prevail in your favor.

Denied my very mentally ill son, this judge is one of the worst in Fresno. Totally non compassionate. Hopefully we don't lose our son because of her decision.

I had this judge on 05/15/2015 was denied but i can't fault her she was on doing her job by going by the rules and after reading her decision why I was denied I would have to agree because lawyers don't summit all your medical documents, medical history also your doctor's don't properly document your findings and history properly. So don't blame the judge blame the ones we have represented us and ourselves for not making sure everything is in files before meeting with judges. I went before this judge and was denied but I would give her a 5 star rating because she was polite, listen and took every piece of evidence that was given to her in to consideration, because they most important part of my disability was not present like my fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism. Thank you. ALJ for doing your job well. May the Lord continue blessing you in all areas of your life God Bless.
The judge Gordon is very professional,human,and respectfully.I had a hearing with Judge Gordon on August 4,2015.I still waiting for my decision.She is a very special person.
Worst Judge of its kind! At the hearing i broke down crying explaining my condition and she didn't show one bit of compassion. A month later she denied me even with a good Lawyer and a well prepared medical record from my doctor. She has send me to a state psychologist who along with my doctor agreed on my condition and still denied me. I hope she can sleep at night.
SHE IS A NASTY ASS JUDGE AND WILL NOT BE A JUDGE LONGER SHE VERY UNFAIR REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL SHE DOING I WENT FOR HEAR AUGUST 2015 gt letter five days afterwArd not approve could told me THAT in court room and I hD good lawyer but been on appeal since my lawyer said she made a legal error did not consider anything my doctor said or my diagnosis schizophrenia anxiety DEPRESSION pstd they need to throw her ass out courtroom pn streets y cars driving

This judge spends half the hearing time talking about himself. And the stories are boring. You're supposed to believe he had a difficult childhood. But he did not. And it's no excuse for his smarmy attitude. Needs to get a real job.

There should be an investigation on walter c herin. HE gives you a rfc report without asking you to do anything.A person of color has no chance everyone knows he racist
If this judge has discrimination case like posted on this website why is he still a judge? Im very nervous about my hearing now.He denied my brother 4 years ago,but he latter got it my brother said he was a liar about things he said at hearing and in his files.
thought he was great judge ,but didn`t like the outcome , I`ll try again!!
judge Walter C. Herin Jr is not racist he's the best judge I have been in front of, he is taking his time reviewing my baby case and not going off what the others jugdes said.....I have been in front of several adj.judges and they ain't take the time too review my baby case because i got her denial before 30 days so i know definitely they didn't review it thoroughly but Judge Herin Jr is taking his time and I thank God for a Great judge we had on Nov.20,2019......
Some lady post he was not racist it was prolly judge herin himself. The discrimination case as many are online nice try "brandy" Im sure after all these post he try to clean act up.
This Judge spent a lot of time talking about himself, sharing stories about himself and his family. How he was suppose to be on a cruise but due to Covid him and his wife can’t go. He had an attitude with not only me, but also my attorney. He said my child has Mild limitations so he found the claim unfavorable because he still can function with his illness. Well duh he’s not dead, but I guess u will have to be 1/2 dead or dying in order for him to approve your case. They said he racist, he didn’t seem that way-he just seemed as though he didn’t care and wasn’t going to help. He made every excuse to why and this has been ongoing for 2 years. He told me and my attorney that he would have a decision by the end of the hearing that day....just to call another hearing 7 months from the time of the 1st hearing and took 2 1/2 months for the final decision. If you do have him as a judge hopefully he’s changed and really look at the issues that are at stake vs if a person can read and write. If you can read or write them he will find your claim to be unfavorable!

Not a good judge!! He thinks that if you are applying for benefits then you shouldn’t know how to do anything. You have severe conditions and limitations before your claim is approved. He’s horrible and needs to just retire!
You fuck to jazz that games are rightful places where you can evince another players what you mortal got internal your ego with hidden skills.

Very good ALJ. She is honest.
She has all the attributes of an excellent judge: prudence, compassion and knowledge. Meeting her was an absolute pleasure, a person who I will always remember.
Although I've never met her I'm very grateful my case was handled by Judge Hunn.
I am a disabled veteran 100% unemployable status rated by the US Army & Veterans Affairs... took me close to 3 years to get approved for SSDI in November 2014, the VA social worker I had, was looking over my papers & told me to question their decision for onset dates, the US Army & Veterans Affairs had me down for February 2009, I was MED BOARDED while on active duty, so my completion/release date from active duty was September 2010. My social worker noticed their on set dates given were set for February 2014, she had advised me to question my local office as to why. That same day I did go question my SSDI case worker, she also thought it was odd, right month, wrong year... she stated could be a simple mistake, & she assisted me with an 'appeal for on set dates' it was processed in January 2015. I was already approved & collecting benefits at this time. I ended up moving to Florida to Oregon, in early April 2015. I did addr as changes & all. I was told by case manger Lisa on Oregon it should be any day, as they only take I believe she said 90 days. Still. Never heard anything prior to move. Then in June 2015 I received a denial letter for my appeal, I panicked & called local office in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. The lady on phone at local office pulled up a copy of denial letter sent to me. She told me to calm down, it's only a denial for your "appeal for onset dates", that if I go to 2nd page it states any benefits previously established would continue/remain the same, she said it was just for my onset dates appeal, that it can take a few times when I have time come down & she will help me re-file the appeal again. She confirmed my payments were all set with no interruptions. In October 2015 my payment never hit bank, I again called questioning, figuring maybe a holiday or something? I was told I'd have to come in to find out why, so I did, that same day. They had 2 people come & explain why. They stated it's due to earned income, I asked what's that mean? They said you are working... I explained no way I'm 100% unemployable, I can't work... they said yes you are for a company called DFAS... I then explained what DFAS is, it's the main payroll office for any & all military pay... active duty, reserves, retiree, & VA disability benefits, for all branches of the military... the guy then admitted was an error, he told me we can't just flip a switch to reinstate, so I'd have to file for a "hearing request" so he helped me fill it out, with full explaination of what was going on, an error, I don't worked & what DFAS is, he said it would be expedited since I'm a disabled veteran, & I should hopefully be reinstated within a month or 2, he doesn't see why they'd waste time for a hearing for something so simple to fix, being an error & wrongful, he asked me why I hadn't come in sooner when I got letter explaining I was going to be being cut, I told him I didn't get a letter, he looked up in computer & said it was sent out, "oh wait" it's scheduled to go out Friday, the Friday after I was cut/missing payment, I then asked so now how do I come in prior to clear up, if your letter is post dated to go out Friday, 2 days after you guys cut my benefits on a Wednesday... for another "oh crap look from both guys... I never heard anything, till January 2016, received a letter stating I had a video hearing date in February 2016. So I attended this hearing alone, no attorney, under impression I was going to clear a simple error showing I am not working & what DFAS is. At this hearing Judge Wendy Hunn never ever once asked about DFAS or earned income, instead it's like they were avoiding the reason they had cut me off, & now trying to run it as a reconsideration case, they had teleconference in a mental health doctor who when Judge asked his opinion stated, his disability dates are February 2009 by the army & Va, you only sent me records from 2009 & back... so based off these I couldn't tell you, she asked him again I didn't ask that all I asked is based off what you reviewed what's your thoughts, he then again stated based off these medical records 2009 & back, they report his mental health at moderate at the time so I guess no... she then said thank you & hung up... she then questioned me on ADL's & issues I have... I explained all, she kept mentioning my "wife" I eventually cut her off & corrected her, "my husband you mean?" My husband is listed on my claim as a dependent... so how they got "wife" to start boggles me, obviously people don't actually review files prior to attending hearings... anyways, after I corrected her, got a dumbfounded look & nothing but sarcasm & attitude there after... I guess she's not much of a LGBTQ
The most unprofessional and least compassionate judge that ever existed.
Negative rating. If you have experienced abuse from Judge Wendy Hunn, contact Jean at jarvis7151@hotmail.com.
Even though the Vocational expert said I wouldnt be able to keep a job, she denied my claim. So after 21/2 years we still go hungry. Ive worked since I was 14, and now Im too sick to work and they arent there for me. I just dont get it. Ive cried all day and dont know what to do. If this is your ALJ, God help you all.

My claim was denied. Apparently attending college means I do not have a disability. Nevermind the fact that the only reason I am still in school is because of the laundry list of accommodations that my schools "office for students with disabilities" gives me. Unfortunately trying to get an education is a mistake. Maybe it is just a mistake for me given all the students I know that receive assistance from the same office and have been approved. I am going to try and appeal, hopefully the next judge I see will not be her. Maybe she should try and deal with my medical issues for just one week and then tell me I don't have a disability.

"I am going to try and appeal" I see. You filed an applic. and was denied. You've filed a Recon and was denied. Then, you got an Unf. Dec. by an ALJ. Now, you will try to convince the AC that the ALJ was wrong. In fact, you are disabled. A non-disabled would have hired an Atty.

So sad for me I was denied and Im really sick my mind would not let me answer the questions I was all mixed up. Don't those judges see that you have worked all your life and you would get more money if you could work.

This judge denied my mother and denied her for the wrong diagnosis. She stated my mother has well controlled diabetes and Hep C, neither of these are true. After waiting two months and using every resource that I had to continue to take care of my mother to be told this is SICK. I take care of her, I see how ill she is, how many times she falls and blacks out from sugars, how she goes with out insurance and I pay for her medications. How we have been evicted and are behind and sinking even more daily and have no chance of any help. It just SICK. She said my mom didn't keep her appointments. Well your honor, there is one car, my mother has problems driving due to her sugars changing consitently and feels unsafe. I work full time in the medical Field If I lose my job how can I keep us going even if its not that well. It is Christmas and we have nothing losing our place to live my car is behind my mother is short on her medications and you Deny her!. I plan to make sure that this goes as far as I need to take it. This is poor judgement on your part as a judge. Stating that you were not in agreance with the Doctor that stated clearly she is disabled, I would like to say They are a physician you, your honor are a judge! I work in the medical field I see poeople get this for as things as simple as sinus issues, My mother is Ill, the least you could have done is got her correct diagnosis but that could be be cause you are a judge and not a doctor. Following the doctor's would have been helpful!

This is one of the Doctors (If you can call him that) that Florida uses to determine the Health and Well being of it's Disability claimants. Judge Jarvis said she gave his report the "most weight" yet he had not reviewed the majority of my medical records since the tests and Specialists reports came after his review of my records. He has surrendered his medical license in two others states due to this same type of activity. Currently under Probationary License in Florida. Had 90 charges against him in Florida. Has been admitted twice (that I can find) to drug rehab for abusing Hydrocodone, Yet he is still used in Florida and paid by our Government to review Disability cases. Lets Put A Stop to this!

Im very happy with the ruling on my case by this judge. I was approved. Very pleased with the outcome.
This woman, Jarvis, takes all the information provided in the hearing and twists EVERYTHING to suit her decision. She leaves out information, as well as evidence and states that the "claimant" says this or that, when it is UNTRUE!!! Isn't she suppose to uphold to a certain oath of truth as well??? Many things in my "decision" letter were just fabricated lies...plain and simple. Even though there are so many doctor reports and questionnaires filled out by credible doctors, she says that she gives "no weight or little weight" to what they say. That is, unless your a doctor for Social Security, then by all means...she will state that she gives THEM all the weight in the world! She loves to play God and decide someones fate, who really needs to have the decision go in their favor. Shame on her for thinking she could just wily nilly say, "I don't like this person, I find your decision UNFAVORABLE". Maybe I was dressed too nice (out of respect for a hearing), maybe I didn't look sick, maybe I was well spoken?? Maybe because I'm ***, go ahead and deny me my benefits?? I am just so amazed, that looking at her "Approval rating", this woman is still allowed to "Judge" people and decide their fate. I have ZERO respect for her or anyone like this person, who decides what is accepted and what is not.
To the person that wrote the most recent post on 5/13/2014. Sounds exactly like my outcome. She completely ignored the medical data. Only gave "great weight" to the report from the Disability doctor that reviewed my records,never saw me in person and was an prior felon with 90+ felony drug charges against him and is currently under a probationary license in FL. I too wondered if I don't look sick enough or if it is because I am a white middle-aged man that has put in 30 years in the work force and payed taxes, maybe she saves her 16% approvals for her Black friends. She is immoral and disgusting. If you choose to appeal, make sure to put those facts in the appeal and also state that you refuse to be heard by her again. That is what my attorney has done, still waiting the appeal. If they insist that you go before her again, find a friend in Dade County and put in a change of address, then your case can be moved to another judge in the Miami system instead of having to go before her a second time in Broward. Good Luck!
I had Valencia Jarvis as my S.S. judge and she lied about my medically documented impairments in both physical and also psychological aspects and stated the exact opposite in her findings. To show how truly unfair of a judge this piece of work is, the states own vocational expert stated that I could not do any form of work at all even at sedentary levels and she stated the opposite of this as well in her decision. Unfortunately this is how she is allowed to continue to deny countless others through lies and falsifying documented evidence. Even though I had a rather lengthy rebuttal letter written up on my behalf to the appeals council trying to bring her upon charges for what she did to me showing documented proof that Valencia Jarvis lied to deny, which the appeals council agreed with 100%, they didn't feel this proof warranted my wrongful deny decision to be overturned but rather remanded back to the ALJ stage. Wasted 6 years + of my life and I am still at step one thanks to Valencia Jarvis who I notice does this to an extremely large number of those she oversees case wise. How can people like this stay in power with NO repercussions what so ever??? They need to have star categories going in the negative scale because she deserves a negative ten rating!
I had the same experience as the last person who wrote in about Valencia Jarvis. She made up facts to support her decision to deny me benefits, and ignored she facts that were in evidence contradicting her ruling. I can't say she's mean spirited. She might simply be incompetent. Regardless, it's clear that a judge (Valencia Jarvis) who is consistently at the lowest end of granting approvals is using criteria that is inconsistent with standards set by social security. It's beyond me how Valencia Jarvis still has been able to hold onto her job. Perhaps social security hold performance reviews? i don't know. It's sad and shameful that Valencia Jarvis is still allowed to be in a position of responsibility for which she is clearly ill-suited and its allowed to cause pain to people who deserve better. I deserve better. We all deserve better.
Another one here where she totally lied on my decision. She stated I was a social butterfly, yeah, those words killed me, and said I had numerous friends to visit, etc.. Well truth is, I've been socially isolating for the past 3 years and have had a total of 1 friend visit. Something I testified too. She also said I could grocery shop by myself, etc, which I haven't done in quite some time and also testified too. I told her that in the beginning I wasn't compliant with my diabetes because I was in denial, well she wrote that I wasn't compliant NOW, which is NOT what I said in my hearing, I told her that I have been VERY compliant now because I was in the beginning of kidney issues. Oh and per her decision I have no cognitive issues, yet I also testified that I couldn't remember any of my medical classes anymore, had to have reminders to take my blood sugar and my medications and hubby took over all bills because I kept forgetting to pay them. She also used the "grid" to determine that I wasn't disabled, which she WASN'T supposed to use for her overall determination, yet that was her greatest weight for denial, and she used a grid for someone below age 50, I am now 53! So her "grid" thinking is totally skewed. I have no idea why this woman is in any position to control peoples lives!! Oh and she totally discounted what both my doctors wrote, that there is NO WAY I can hold a job for 8 hours a day, or even 4 hours a day, she just dismissed what the people who see me 3-6 times a year said and took only the SSA doctors, who I've never seen into account. She's a farce, and shouldn't be allowed to make decisions that affect others lives. I hope she's fired before my appeal comes through.
This woman has to be on the craziest power trip ever. She makes things up, twists reality, and apparently knows more than the doctors do. IF you get her, pray for a miracle. I know there's a lot of fraud going on, but she denies people who are legitimately disabled in order to combat the high SSA rates. I'm suspicious of a racism element as well, but I won't confirm it because it's not like she flat out called me a honky.If you do get her, DO NOT GIVE HER AN INCH. She'll take your inch and turn it into a mile. I told her the medicine will sometimes work, about 10% of the time. She turned that into "the medicine works almost all of the time". Variety of different things were manipulated to suit her decision. She had already denied me the minute I spoke, the rest of the trial was just a formality and a way to twist the truth into her fraudulent, deceptive decision.
I would like to find out if this judge is prejudiced against white people. If her approval is mostly of black people we may be able to have her disbarred.
Valencia Jarvis - The most unluckiest judge in the planet!!!! Out of 73 dispostions in 2016, ODAR set only 7 cases that she was able to approve. Statisticians should study such abnormal phenomenon.
I had my hearing with the "judge" back in 2013. Of course, it did not go in my favor. Yes, look at her ratings. Even when she was a judge in Missouri, her ratings were almost exact as they are here in Fort Lauderdale. I was very shocked when I received the first denial letter, after the hearing. She MOST CERTAINLY makes her own rules. So many different times where she had manipulated what I had testified, to suit her decision. She is very dishonest when she writes out her decision letter. I think the only thing that was true on the letter was my name and age. The rest....fabricated. What's crazy is, this is OUR money that we paid into over our working years, obviously, otherwise we wouldn't have a sum that we should be collecting. I also agree with the ones who say she is prejudice. I believe it!! As soon as she seen me walk in, she had made her decision, before I even spoke one word. It seemed odd to me also that she kept asking me questions, concerning my partner. Did she have me on her insurance, was she the one that took care of me, did she buy my clothes, did she pay for my medicine?, etc. None of that was mentioned in the letter. I do feel for the ones who have upcoming hearings with this woman. She is not a fair judge....period. Why no one at the SS administration has stopped and asked the question of why her stats are ALWAYS the same every year, is beyond me. My total outcome after all of this??? Right back to where I was 4 years ago......
Unfortunately I had judge Jarvis in 2013 she is a racist she is the worst judge she twist the facts I had a heart attack one month after on Christmas I have a 4 centimeter embolism in my heart in my aorta she is a racist she has a percent of less than 17% if you're not white you will not pass the worst judge she needs to be disbarred when I was at her hearing it was a black man before me don't know his condition or anything he was in for 5 to 10 minutes I was drill 45 minutes to an hour she Twisted the facts you didn't listen to anything she has to have there has to be checks and balances why are her numbers 1/3 less than the next lowest person less than 17% approval she is a racist she does not need to be on there and when I do go to my next hearing I am going to formally complain whether I win or lose it doesn't matter I'm going to die in a year anyway okay so anybody that has Judge Jarvis you will lose you wasted your time and money Security is a right not a privilege I paid over $160,000 met the top of the top and I get turned down I lost 3 years now I had to go back now I have to go again to a different one they need to fire her ass please pass on this information my family daughter daughters friends are going to expose her on all social media ask anybody that reads this and the other ones before me to do the same she needs to be fired or possibly even thrown in jail because she's actually killing people by denying them the right it makes no sense to pay into Social Security as a right and she has her own agenda she is a racist they need to fire her and throw her in jail Kevin fits said so
Valencia Jarvis entirely ignored social security's own physicians as well as my medical history. In her decision she wrote, "I think this person can work". I have an amputated right leg and other ongoing health issues. What more do you need to be disabled in her judgement? Consistent with her track record, she ignored the facts and ignored the law. I do not know how the federal government is still employing this ***** woman in a position of responsibility.
This is sad. I had also this judge, She disproves me for all kinds of craziness. At the time my lawyers were no help. because the day of my hearing I had a bad ear problem. And because I said about my mother. I have 5 daughters and at the time all of us was taken care of her. But what does have to do with the tea China? I had got a settlement and she made me feel like trash because she said they just paid you off. That hurt me so bad. I am one that does not play with the government. I work for what I wanted. Now because she sent me back out in the work force. I lost my job because I can not walk. SSI is a joke. These guys will not even send me to their doctors. The main doctor that want to see me. I can not go to him because I have to pay 420 to see him. You all might be judges but there is a judge much higher than you all. And you will give an account of what you have done to people. At first, I hated this judge because she uses my mother to for my claim. Everyone is fast to through the old folks in the Nursing home. What was wrong with me giving my mother water or feeding her. My other daughter would help clean her. SSI has a way of using trick words to see if you are lying. But they are quick to put a child on SSI who mother knew the guy she was with had a mental problem.But yet she still had a child by him and then go to SS. To get a check .But a person like me who can not walk nor stand nor sit for a long time. They quick to say you can work. Like I said I hated this judge .But God changes it and gave me a love for her. I do feel sorry for her and all the other judges that feel that they are God. I am in pain 24/7. Orlando judges have a better rating than any of these judges here do. She heard my case in 2015 in Brevard County. My prayers are that this judge and every other judge would put themselves in the person body and feel what they feel. I told this judge about my back crying and now because of her judgment, I can not walk that good at all.
This is Dr. Irving Kushner. I am a medical expert for rheumatology cases. I testified for a hearing for you on August 11th. I have not yet received a call order, without which I cannot submit an invoice. I have sent several e-mails to and left voice mail messages for my sole contact person in your office - Joann Myer - asking that this be looked into, but have not received a reply. I have tried to reach your operator, but have not succeeded. I get music. Can you help me? 216-751-5885 Ixk2@case.edu Claimant Fitzgerald
She's cold and robotic. You basically have no chance with her. Clearly looking to deny cases. No objective at all. Not fair. Not compassionate. She's going to deny you and use your words out of context. Don't take it personally. She's been told to do it. Don't bother appealing it. Turn around and file again and you will def get a new judge who will be better. She's saving SSA all by herself I'm sure she thinks that anyway.. Sorry if you get her. She should get zero stars
I had Valencia Jarvis as my ALJ. I personally didn’t feel like she was ******. I am white and she never made me feel uncomfortable for being white. There were certain points in the hearing when I noticed she wasn’t looking at me while I tried to explain myself, but then again she could have just been trying to process what I was saying? I have a hard time expressing myself verbally and feel that the hearing could have been a bit longer and maybe I could have been able to express myself better. This whole process has given me major anxiety and I feel so hopeless waiting on a decision that will probably end up in a denial, after reading all of these comments , I really have no hope.

They need to have star categories going in the negative scale because she deserves a negative ten rating or better yet jail time for her illegal doings via changing court documents to state the opposite. There HAS to be laws against that one would think right? If that were me or you, we'd be in jail IMMEDIATELY so why, even though made aware, does the Social Security Administration get her off their docket or do the right thing and get her disbarred and arrested!!!!!
If you get this judge, just give up all hope find some cyanide because you will NOT be approved. She is a liar and if I’m honest a racist. I’m a 42yr old white man and I have worked since I was 13. I have ALWAYS paid my taxes and social security. I have cystic fibrosis and have been sick with lung and sinus infections 4-6 times a year like clockwork my entire life. Still managed to ALWAYS have a job. I have a mycobacterial infection in my lungs that will NEVER go away. I have multiple gi issues that keep me sick and where I vomit on a regular basis. I have pancreatitis which is incredibly painful. I’ve had my gall bladder and appendix removed, both of which nearly burst. I have cystic fibrosis related diabetes, which has characteristics of both type 1 and 2. I have non alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is progressing to cirrhosis. I have borderline osteoporosis, wide spread arthritis/ joint pain. I’ve had terrible migraine headaches since I was 21. I have multiple herniated discs at different levels of my spine, along with bulges and your typical arthritis. I have neuropathy in my hands and feet from diabetes. I have regular infections such as MERSA due to my immune system sucking. I take 27 medications EVERY DAY that include 2 strong narcotics, nerve meds like Lyrica, insulin, multiple headache meds and the list goes on and on. I can’t drive or operate machinery because of them. Hell, I can barely stay awake. I have to do three nebulizer treatments first thing every single morning. I exceeded my FMLA time in 2014 and had to wait a year to file for SSD. Then never heard a word from them for 3 years until I wrote the governor about it. Then just like that I get a date. When I walked in the courtroom the judge looked at me snickered and shook her head. I knew right then I was doomed. I got denied and appealed immediately. Ended up with the same judge (how is that even legal?!) and got denied again. It’s now 10/2020 and I have a lawyer still trying to get me through this corrupt bullshit process. I gave the judge THOUSANDS of pages of records proving EVERYTHING. She lied and twisted my words AND multiple doctors words. I see a primary, 2 pulmonologists, 2 gastroenterologists, pain management, endocrinologist, neurologist , and others. How is it possible that I don’t qualify?! I can barely walk most of the time. She also told me that my primary care doctor, who I’ve been seeing for 25yrs and knows EVERYTHING about me, isn’t qualified to give an opinion about my disability. I have lost everything and I can’t believe that my wife is still with me, for now anyway. My family would be on the street right now if I didn’t have help from the rest of my family and that won’t last forever. I no longer have faith in the “system”. I could go on all day but the truth is, this woman awards very few cases and her record screams corruption. She literally has your life in her hands and if she denied my case, you must have to be dead or on your way there because it makes no sense. Oh, AND every single lawyer I talked to, one of the first questions they asked was who the judge was and as soon as I started saying her name they told they were sorry, but they couldn’t help me. One told me that he wouldn’t help because he knew he would be dragging me through a grueling process with only one possible outcome no matter how much proof I had. What does that tell you?! I’m sorry for ANYONE who gets her because you are in for a loooooong ride, anger, confusion, and heartbreak.I hope I’m still alive when Karma finds her.

Judge Jenkins is a warm, compassionate human being. She reads her files thoroughly and expects reps to be prepared. She is respectful and courteous to claimants and puts them at ease. She isn't a soft touch by any means but she applies the law fairly and without favor. Gets 5 stars from me.

I had a Phone interview w/Judge Jenkins, and she listened to what I and my friend had to say.....no matter the outcome of my case, I was very pleased w/Judge Jenkins.
Horrible experience with Judge Jenkins: Got my denial letter today and A SLEW of false information. additionally, there were SEVERAL medical records she failed to consider. any information , regarding my medical issues, she ignored. ONE MAJOR issue was this: I was hospitallized and told I needed surgery, yet 2 different hospital surgeons refused to do the surgery because of my poor health and the real possibility of something major going wrong. She didnt even consider this. again, their are A LOT of medical evidence/records she failed to review. Yet, the information provided by the SSA's doctors ( of course in the governments favor), she referenced, my doctors testimony, she gave little or no weight! Additionally, something troubling- her office sent me, a encrypted CD with all of the exhibits/evidence for my review. this is a CD you have to have a passcode to open. last evening, after I received the denial letter and within the denial letter, she referenced exhibits, I went to my CD, opened the documents to compare testimony and discovered around 24 pages of a medical file for some complete stranger..Not giving out the name, but it was a female who gave birth to a baby premature with a great deal of health issues. We have similar last names but a complete stranger. I have her medical history, account number, etc..I will be contacting my local news outlet about this. Im sure they will want to do a story regarding patients medical privacy. Im going to do my best and try and track down the patient in my file and let her know about this. Clearly A HIPPA violation. As well, it goes to show that the ALJ, judge Jenkins, certainly did not review my entire medical history, for if she had, she would have assuredly seen this inexcusable mishap .
This judge is totally unprofessional and sets her own rules. fails to consider "your" medical doctors testimony but gives all wait to SSA examiners. She claimed I claimed several impairments but no medical records to back those claims thus my testimony was not credible. This judge had MORE than enough medical records to prove disability otherwise. Regarding my mental health, she claimed no history of suicidal attempts or ideations, yet, in the record was 4 recent medical records I went to an er with suicidal ideations, I have cut my wrist, Go to a mental health facility whom conducted an evaluation for SSA and stated I was very much not able to hold a job due to conditions. I have ( prior to hearing ) over the past year, SENT THE SSA ODAR OFFICE suicidal letter letting them know, i would be killing myself ( luckily I did not - wouldnt want them to win) but records are ALL in the exhibits and evidence. A week prior to hearing, was in the hospital, 2 different surgeons stated I needed an important surgery but they refused to do the surgery because my health make me a high risk for major complication and a 50% chance of something going wrong! she FAILED to reference that. Even at the hearing, I asked her, "please review all the files in depth", she promised me she would, said she takes her job seriously and will review all the medical records. BS - Prior to Hearing, SSA ODAR office sent me a cd with the exhibits that would be reviewed during hearing ( evidence ). The CD they sent me, had a complete strangers medical records on it. After the denial letter, I wrote that office in disgust being they had a complete strangers medical records in my evidence file and "if" they would have "thoroughly" reviewed my evidence, they would have seen the mistake..2 days after I told them about this, they sent 4 officers from Homeland Security to my house to retrieve that CD..They tried im sure, to sweep it under the rug, but I have also contacted all major news outlets about this.
Judge Jenkins was precise, thorough, diligent, and professonal. Judge Jenkins based her decision on medical opinon as well as her conclusion from facts she gathered from me.
Judge Theresa R. Jenkins is discerning, she's respectful and she's fair...'nuff said.
Judge JENKINS was very kind and listens I have not recieved a decision yet my hearing was on the 29th of Aug. but my experience in her court room was really good I was comfortable and felt respected and well treated and listened too.

When Judge Jenkins heard my case, I was really scared and nervous. I honestly did not feel that it went well. I felt initially like she cut me off in mid-sentence a few times and that left me feeling as though she would not fully understand my limitations. She did approve my case. I am very grateful, as my condition has worsened. If you suffer with serious pain, you know that it's difficult to think and concentrate on much because the pain literally zaps your brain. I don't have much recollection of the hearing, except that I did not feel it went well (I'm on meds also that zap my brain). At any rate, she stated that she put a lot of weight on my medical records and doctors statements. So from this, I would say she is a fair judge. I came to this page before my case was heard.. because like most people I was anxious and nervous and wanted to get some idea of what to expect. I would say to you that if you do really have a case, and your medical records DO reflect your statements, then you will be fine.
Terrible judge. Ignores evidence; twists statements, and is one of the most cynical individuals I have ever dealt with. Believes he knows more than doctors' do. I sincerely feet sorry for any disabled individual that has to go in front of him. Personally speaking, I don't think he's that intelligent and informed medically, despite what I am sure he believes of himself.

A fairly good judge. I have appeared in front of Judge Kopicki a number of times and I find him to be intelligent, sincere, and thorough, even in cases he turned down. If a case he turned down is remanded to him he has been fair about reconsidering his prior decision. He is neither liberal nor conservative in his decisions. On occasion he has prejudged a case and digs in his heels during the hearing, but usually he is open-minded. I have not seen him to be cyncial.
If there is evidence in the file supporting the claim, he does a good job. If the evidence isn't very clear, he will likely deny the case.

I have appeared before this judge several times representing clients. He is fair, he is prepared, and he understands the law regarding disability claims. If you don't have good medical evidence (as noted by the other commenter on this page), what are you doing at a hearing? SSA can reverse any favorable decision that isn't based on medical records. Why would Judge Labrum waste time approving your claim based on your own personal account, without supporting medical evidence, when it's only going to be reversed when SSA appeals?
You don't have one star for favorable what's up with that not one from me
This is getting ridiculous I didn't apply for a broken rib been there healed and went back to work I will contact my congressmen and a judge is notGODI am hurting this has been a slow and painful process and im gonna do what I have to do just like when you deny our veterans and how many died waiting well I'm airing it in every way thumbs down
Tracey is the best Judge She was very professional and realized My disability. I'm very grateful for having her as my JUDGE. All you have to do is look at my medical records. Also, my attorney was prepared My mom helped me fill this out
The honorable Tracey Liebowitz is a thorough a judge as I’ve ever seen.
This has to be the very bottom of the cesspool of the administration. The reason that the system is so flawed is the claimant cannot get past such arrogance, The world of karma always seems to come back around. I cannot wait.
My name is Ryan Steven Mentier I live in Holly Michigan I have been waiting for a Decision on my case I have been living in a tent for a few months now and have been waiting on a yes or no on my disability case for 7 months now.I try to call and I get no answer my layer can't get threw eather
Most insensitive and basically unfair judge i have ever read about. Ignored important info and did not consider all of the facts. I feel sorry for anyone that gets her as a judge. I won't even give her 1 star
She’s a joke the vocational expert said there were no jobs I could do and she still denied me I’m appealing.
This Judge is Misleading , and dishonest plays the game well and is hurtful in my opinion to society. If the system is truly broke, you might want to start with her in considering why this is. Integrity is missing, Cruelty is verified , A none independent thinker and irrational in her decision making. (poster child for +++) if you would like to witness Orwell 1984 go listen to a disembodied VE, over a phone while trying to keep your head up to stare at a TV to communicate with this Judge, That alone should tell you how much of a criminal everyone looks like in the eyes of our GOV. It is a Humiliating and repugnant experience to be dragged in front of a hearing disabled only to be Harmed with a denial and being called a liar by someone who expressed the cruelty , and carelessness of the beast system well. Pray for our Country.. I mean it, because praying for just the people is not enough.

I have appeared many times before ALJ Millington and she has the most pleasant personality and temperament of all the Denver ODAR judges. Of course, everyone has a bad day, I guess, but a "nasty temper" is something I have never seen. She is also one of the few judges I have appealed, obtained a remand from the US District Court back to her, and, after a rehearing, she agreed with me and reversed herself, granting benefits. I am always relieved to get her on an SSDI or SSI claim. I know she is going to treat my client like a human being and she will listen carefully. I think she reads the file well before the hearing.
Judge Millington was extremely nice and helpful in my hearing.
Very thorough and professional, and friendly as anyone I've ever met.
she was awesome i had her for my last hearing understanding and compassionent had hearing in oct just waiting for decision.
Judge Millington was very kind. She was familiar with my case, And made me feel very at ease as soon as I entered the courtroom. Disability hearing is very stressful. I felt confident that she truly cared about my situation. I feel that she was very compassionate, And listen to all my responses to questions that were asked of me.
Very professional, very fair and courteous.
He denied my father for social security when he CLEARYLY needs it! Provided his medical history and had a medical professional at the court hearing stating he cannot hold a full time job. My father can barely stand for more than 15 min due to his back. Very unfair for him as my father has worked his entire life and now when he needs help, he gets a slap in the face. This denial is based off opinion and not FACTS! This is so unfortunate to the people that actually need the help.
Treated my case professionally and gave me a full approval. If you make sure you have all your Dr. information documented and get at least 1 Doctor to agree that you are permanently disabled you should be ok. In my case I had 2 Board Certified Doctors fill out forms in agreement with my diagnosis of full disability along with may years of Doctor visits and surgeries. Bottom line if you take the time to get the medical documentation in order this Judge is fair (in my opinion).

Very pleasant, treated me like a human being.
Fair and passionate about what she does. Very concerned about determining the need of others and what is right legally. She is very HUMAN about and UNDERSTANDING of your disability.Love her!
I haven't even had a decision as of yet. I really just feel like I need to speak up about Judge Paddack. She made me feel so much relief after she spoke to me. I am very grateful that she was assigned my case, as I was scared to death going in. She seems to be a wonderful person and judge!
This is an ALJ who worked for the appeals council and you can tell in her decisions which are fairly negative. She may make sure to ask for very specific evidence to justify her denial. Most claims she has no intention of paying. She will probably write better decisions than most ALJ's since she is from the AC and is used to making up reasons to deny Claimant's appeals. I think she is fairly negative.

I have been fighting for my benifits since 2008 i was in front of Judge Rivera three diffrent times and he denied me and then i came before Judge Palacios and to be very honest she was extreamly fair and finally after six years of fighting and appeals i finally got a judge who understands even though she did work for the appelte division she was still fair
Judge Palacios was the coldest, rudest, most disorganized judge I have ever seen. Having a little compassion for the SICK isnt too much to ask!

Space Cadet. Which Judge Palenske will show on a given day? On bad days, she has sworn in witnesses more than once. Asks very few questions in general. While I tend to share her conservative philosophy, she is not an easy judge.

Her conservative personality should have nothing to do with how she decides claims. She is to appy the rule of law and to take a fresh look at each individual claim.

Judge Palenske is horrendously unfair. She shot us down on a very solid case, but didn't just deny it. She sat on it for over six months before issuing the denial. Absolutely unacceptable.

One of the worst judges in this office. Doesn't use vocational experts. Forgets to swear in witnesses. Sits on denials for months at a time. Will find the dumbest reasons to hold the record open in cases. For people that have waited years to have their cases heard, be prepared to wait even longer to hear back from her. Poor doesn't properly describe the job that she does. Taxpayers definitely deserve more.
She fabricates, cherry-picks, and manipulates evidence to conform to a predetermined decision. Does not know the meaning of "Judge" and does not deserve the title.
She made me feel very comfortable considering my health issues. I have a problem staying focused and communicating to people. I'm waiting for her decision and pray that it is favorable. This was written for me by Gwen Ward my wife.
Judge Palenske has been the recipient of some incredibly false and ridiculous critiques on this board. Firstly, her award rate is in line with the national average, which would itself indicate that she is applying the law faithfully and fairly. As a highly successful SSDI attorney, I have appeared before her many times. She rightly expects lawyers to fully and thoroughly present their cases. She listens more than she talks, and many of her colleagues on the Bench could learn from the thoughtful way in which she conducts her hearings. She is always respectful and courteous to each and every claimant, and always arrives at well reasoned legal conclusions regardless of whether the outcome is an award or a denial. If you have a good lawyer who follows Judge Palenske's specific pre-hearing instructions, and takes the time to carefully develop your testimony in court, this judge will award your case, provided that the medical evidence supports the severity of your allegations. By all standards of judicial fairness, temperament, and preparation, Judge Palenske is a model ALJ.
I just want to let the public know be very aware that these comments are not always true and anyone including the judges family, friends, and associates can make anonymous comments. I don't know this judge I just wanted to get this comment in.
This ALJ does not believe that Bipolar Syndrome is a real medical impairment. If you are Bipolar and your hearing will be held in front of her you will have to file an appeal.

Judge likes to start hearing asking ALL the questions. Seems slightly insecure but doesn't want to show it. So, do not correct this judge directly. You have to lead her to the right answer that SHE discovers, then you gently get her in the right direction to win your case. She likes to be in the right on even inconsequential issues. Don't react. A few of her questions are along the lines of "when did you stop beating your wife" even if the judge doesn't realize they are, and if client is not prepared to listen to question carefully and correctly re-frame the issue in the response, the transcript for appeal would be misleading. Prepare the client. She clearly follows a standardized outline in asking questions, filing in blanks as she goes along. Typical hearing will last 45 minutes. I'd still rate her as a good judge and one you can work with, only handle her gently and with extraordinary care.

This Judge has no compassion for really disabled claimants. She don't even take the time to try to understand your case.Just remember her approval and denial rates are already worked out in her head.Your just a number.
I am a disabled veteran (Viet Nam era), rated by the VA. I had the displeasure of having my hearing in front of Denise Pasvantis. This poor excuse for a human treated and talked to me like I was dirt; she disallowed me to call my witness, rudely told me to be quiet when I asked to present VA documents as evidence, and cross examine the "expert witnesses" (what a sham); I have never been treated so horribly by someone in an official capacity. How this person got to be a judge is beyond me, how can our government allow such prejudice, hatred and discrimination to exist in our courts?? A disability proceeding??? To help our disabled that need help?? I live on a fixed income, I fought for this country. These angry people such as this woman should be sent to Afghanistan to fight, or see our soldiers fighting; maybe then her unprofessional hate filled attitude would change. Sorry, but this is what I had to sit and see for 2 wasted hours. I hope no one else has to go thru what I did, I am going to yell as loud as I can to whomever will listen, this intentional bias should not be in our courts.
This is Dr. Irving Kushner. I am a medical expert for rheumatology cases. I testified at a hearing for you on August 11th.

I had a complex Special Needs Trust case before the judge, who quickly identified the main trust law issues, and was able to interpret the trust correctly (in spite of horrible drafting by the attorney who drafted the trust document), The judge had done independent research before starting the hearing, was extremely pleasant and nice to the parents of the severely disabled child, and got right to the issues in the case.

This judge did in fact say clearly I am disabled in January 2014 but now its April of 2014 and I still have heard nothing about my case. I am getting worse in my conditions and now I am getting anxiety attacks from not being able to purchase basic everyday items. When I went in front of this judge he asked what he needed yo and kept switching around and said we will come back to that question and didn't. I really think I was forgotten about. All judges should have two weeks maximum to make a decision. If not be penalized for not doing so. Also when calling to get answers the lady who answers the phone don't even know the panel is!

This judge told me on July 16 2015 That I'm clearly disabled I just got my letter today after waiting 3 yrs that I'm denied. I can't walk with out my cane I have neurapty thru out my whole body all buldging & herniated disc how can some judge rate my pain unreal & unfair this system is sick
Everyone is nervous at the time of their hearing. Having Generalized Anxiety Disorder makes it that much worse. I feel the Judge took the time to listen to my Medical Conditions. It was much appreciated.
Judge Rodriguez seemed very fair. I haven't received my letter so I can't say anything about approval or denial but he definitely was thorough and clear and made me less nervous. My hearing was Dec. 13, 2017 and it is now only February so I should know the outcome in a month or so but either way I am glad I had him and how he treated me making my experience as pleasant as possible. I was very very nervous and he didn't judge and answered any questions I had not making me feel inferior. I was supposed to have Judge Weakley but got switched to Judge Rodriguez and from what I'm reading I am very grateful for that. He really was understanding and seemed fair.
Jose G. Roland said if social security ever approved my disability then he would make sure I get benefits back til 2004 when I was shot 2 times and became disabled , in 2010 I was given a favorably but the judge started it 2008 so they stole / hijacked blackmailed my past benefits and lowered my current and future benefits this is why I have no money and my checking account is overdrawn every month now 3 days ago my truck blew up , and I don't have any money to replace it because I have been behind from 2004 I stile owe my family and friends over $50,000.00 but right now we have a hurricane and I don't have money to even pay for fuel thanks to theft of my benefits , if I have the money they stole from me I would not have to decide which bills to pay each month , and would be able to get my teeth replaced so I can chew my food without choking all the time and then also get a reliable truck to dive instead of temporary junk like I been living with now I have no truck , i borrowed my grandfather junk truck but i don't have enough money for fuel to leave and get back , and I may not have a place to come back to , and no insurance for 2 reasons 1st I payed my manufactured l home with loan from dad so I would not have to barrow his money and pay monthly mortgage with interest , but after I payed if off the state canceled my insurance because I don't have a creditor to protect and they gave me a long list of things I have to have a contractor say like my roof will last 5 years , and that my structure is solid and will last and hold my roof , well no contractor will do that if they did not build it or repair it because they can't see inside the walls and under the urethane roof , and then on top of that I cant afford insurance , so why am i made to suffer I did not and don't want to be disabled , the 2nd judge said off the record without saying it that even though I"m disabled , and was even worse before that because I tried to work even though I kept getting hurt , that trying is the same as working , only I did not have any gainfully employment , so they blackmailed me out of my back benefits , or he will find a reason to give me an unfavorable , again and have to appeal and another 3 to 5 years to new trial and he said he will then make the same request , so long story short why don't you keep your word and have ssd pay me from 2004 till 2008 and then fix my benefits to reflect what it should be as i had worked my hole life from age 14 , never calling in sick sometimes working 2 full time jobs at 1 time to make my own way paying in to ss and fika and taxes and even my own self employment tax , I'm not a dead beet like some of those people that you need to screen out ,so will you please help me by keeping your word to me and requesting my back benefits , I will reserve my rating of you till you get back to me as I do not know if you are aware of what had happen to me
Comes from somewhere in Kentucky (I think)- has the cutest Southern accent and he's sweet as pie. Don't be fooled: he'll deny for reasons completely foreign to me. He almost always send claimant to pre-hearing consultative exams, or send for medical interrogs. Sometimes he uses them; sometimes he doesn't. I have not seen any particular M.O. with him. Just watch out....

I concur. He seems to have a problem accepting VA opinions. Will often send out interrogatories and ask questions like- does claimant's impairment meet a listing. If they did meet a listing , most cases would not be at ODAR.

He scares me, but I trust him at the same time. I just Hope he doesn't believe what the medical expert wrote in my interrogratoy! The medicaid doctors at the beginning thought i was crazy, and i became very upset when one of them said I was just looking for drugs, I cursed at her and said no i want to go back to work so i can support my family! With a few F words, so of course the medical expert blew that up out of proportion.

I had a great experience with Judge Smith! I waited 7 years to get my disability and just happened to have he hardest judge the first time. With Smith he listened to me very intently and he was Curtious and fair. He approved me right there but did not want to step on the previous judges toes so he gave me 32 months backpay with full benefits. He’s ranked right in the middle of being a fair judge and that he is! Thank you Judge Smith for everything. I know your job is hard and I appreciate how you handled my case. People you better have your doctors on top of all of their paperwork and you better have a darn good reason for coming to see him for disability.
1/8/2018 Very fair and professional in mannerisms. Kentucky charm made put me at ease and made answering questions less stressful. Whole staff courteous and polite.

Judge Smith was nodding off during my entire hearing! How this man is a judge is beyond me. I’m opening an investigation into his misconduct & I hope others will come forward. There is no way he’s qualified to determine someone’s financial future when he can’t even stay awake for 30 minutes! These courtrooms have cameras on us, it’s high time they start recording the judges as well!
if you come to his home and be a layer guess what. You are dipping your grave, because everything is on ink and paper. If you are a Veteran ,he will said THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE with eye contact. also your medical record and medical expert report its in the front of HONORABLE JUDGE. Every case are different . you must convince your self if you are DISABLE before you go to that HEARING and no make any excuse like: i do not speak english. HONORABLE JUDGE SMITH . THANK YOU SIR < THANK YOU YOUR HONOR and YOUR STAFF REAL PROFECIONAL
I would like to thank Judge Sprague for being fair and recognizing my limitations based on the facts of my case. Being initially denied multiple times i was very nervous going in, but he examined the evidence, asked pertinent questions and will make a fair decision. I have not received the letter in the mail yet, but whatever the determination, i want to thank the judge anyway. He is a good man.
I give this judge a F.... for not paying attention to my case and not seeing me as a person and not a book of files...seems I'd never get approved because I'm to pretty and had some sort of education.. I have seizures on the regular and suffer from PTSD depression n some otheri won't say but I guess here in America u cant even get help unless you are WHITE AND DIEING....I WANT JUSTICE I DESERVE THE HELP OTHERS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF.....IM TIRED SIGNED ANGRY BLACK WOMEN
Judge Sprague is a straight forward and fair judge, after waiting for 3 years for a decision and the mountains of medical records I presented I was awarded a partial decision based on the merits of my disabilities. Thank you Judge Sprague

Brusque, unprepared, and elderly. During hearings, it appears that he looks for reasons to raise his voice. In one instance, he loudly alleged that there was no medical evidence to support a RFC from a particular treating source, only to be corrected that there were indeed more than 63 pages of evidence from this provider that he apparently failed to examine or even notice. In his denials, his idea of dealing with Social Security Ruling 96-7p is to simply insert in italics all of the claimant's testimony on one page. He then generally dismisses all of it as unpersuasive, without actually discussing what specific aspects he found objectionable.

You guys are too rough on him. He is just a Judge that wants only the truly disabled to collect benefits. Once you get to know him he is not a bad guy and in fact he does pay my clients. Ease up people just do your home work and he will eventually pay your cases.

The issue being discussed is whether Judge Spurlin does HIS homework. Just because a judge is approving some cases--that happen to be yours--it's both self-serving and idiotic to assume all criticism is invalid. If you have nothing more than childish comments to add, take a walk.

I just found out this guy is a judge. Completely and totally unqualified to be one, in fact not even qualified to be dog catcher. His main attribute is ONE thing. Connections. That's how he got the job, and that's how he'll keep it. In fact, it scares the heck out of me that he has this kind of power over people's lives. No moral compass, and no values. Good luck Florida. We were VERY glad when he left his state job and moved away. Kentucky just...smells better now.

I went to court with this judge on Oct 23, 2012 I had Bypass Surgery in May, 2012 a heart attack in July of 2010...This judge seems to be polite he asked me questions in which i answered I mentioned that i had my bypass surgery which he had over looked my attorney told him which exhibit page it was on in which he seemed satisified also stated that I had gotten worse since the last time I saw him which was last year (remanded back)after I start to read off my meds he stops me and says that he needs to have a M.E. and wanted to reschedule my hearing OR I could have a inaroggatory intern answers somes questions and I may not have to come back for another hearing. He also wants to change my onset date...Dont know if that means I might be approved and also to give him a few weeks he didnt say that my case was closed but, my attorney says to give him 30 days...I hope this will all be over soon...Ive had this judge twice the only issue the last time isthat all my medical records were not in even though he gave TEN days to have them in so I was DENIED at that point. Now Im so hoping that this nightmare is almost over...

Judge Robert Spurlin seemed to be in a great mood today. I went to court very well prepared. Their medical doctor and the Vocational expert already submitted a report that I was truly disabled. went in at 8:27a.m. my appointment was set for 8:30a.m. I was in there for maybe 10 minutes if that long and got my approval. He only asked me about 3 simple questions as he had already had his decision before I got there. so, I can't complain at all. Thank God.

My hearing is over, and told my Disability was approved by the judge and my lawyer, I called ODAR today I was told its on the judges desk waiting to be approved. Confused, I called lawyer today and am now waiting for a call back. I would like an explanation by them.
Good luck, I won my case with Judge Scott Tews presiding and never got anything but SSI which is better than nothing I was getting through SSD after being told I had it by the staff @ the SS Administration, I guess the system is bogged down from being robbed by politicians and people that never deserved to draw it so if you’re a real American born citizen with long running healthy problems, Get in the elevator cause your probably gonna get the shaft. Judge Tews told me he was giving it to me but something went wrong and I actually get $224 out of $780 a month on SSI after ?? deductions ?? How the heck can you deduct from $780 and live? You can’t without help thank God for family and friends. I would love to give a high rating because he was nice and seemed understanding but lied to me I didn’t get SSD.

I dont think she took in to consideration what I have to go through everyday dealing with children that have ADHD and ODD have twins one approved other one keep being denied I wish she could walk in my shoes and see how it feels to get calls from school because your child cant stay in her seat or that the child is being suspended for fighting hope she one day look at the whole picture and not just her question she asked us

She was respectful during the hearing and only asked me a few questions briefly the whole time which leads me to believe their mind was made up before I ever got there(her and the vocational "expert". It was determined I could no longer do my old work and at the same time I am supposedly not disabled either because Mr. "Expert" says I can either be a kitchen helper now or a dining room attendant...both with 30% restrictions to bending and lifting and even going so far as to say there were thousands of local jobs doing these things. First of all no one will hire or keep you working with any restrictions and second I can't do them anyway and third...I live in a small town and there aren't thousands of jobs combined anywhere around me. I am very disappointed in the double standard used in the decision. Make up your mind. You say I can't stand or lift and do my old job but I can stand all day and lift in the job you say I should or could have. What a crock. If I could do my old job I could be making 1 to 2 thousand a week on very good weeks. I would have to be crazy to not do that... Maybe I am crazy for thinking I could get a fair shot after all the grief and ginancial upheaval I've been through with this.

She took the time to listen to me and was very caring.
I would like to just say she is a fair and just judge she truly listen and provide fair decisions based on the evidence if more judges were this unbiased and did everything on a case by case basis and not under any preconceived stereotype this world would be a better place
The disability rules, law, I should of got my disability, but this judge denied me my disability. I am a very sick person, there is days I can barely walk, I honestly don't know if I am going to make it some days.. I have so much pain , so forgetful, the social security doctor said I was disable to work, because of my disease. She mention of me being obesity, and lack of education. It never stopped me working before. I have worked ever since I was 12 years old, worked hard for over 40 years. I have worked for everything I have, and now I am not able to work and about to lose everything I have ever worked for, because I am not able to work, and this Judge made this unfair and inhumane decision, on behalf I felt she is a prejudge Person. It is such a shame that a judge can make this kind of decision, because they don't like a person. What has our country become to. So sad that's it's become that such cases are treated like this. God be with us all.
Can you explain, without using the word: CORRUPTION, or mentioning crooks, ie Debra Bice, Carolyn Colvin, Sherry Thompson, David Thompson et al., why a 100% Service-Connected DISABLED veteran, who hasn't been gainfully employed since honorable discharge 1987 would be denied ssdi benefits ? Do you think the SSA has more criminals employed than does the VA ? Have you blown the whistle on any of the crooks you see at the SSA ?
100% Professional, Compassionate and Likeable.
I went in front of Judge Waitsman on April 13,2012 and he was wounderful.He listend to every piece of my case and I was very happy with the way he acted toreds me and my Lawyer.I dont know if I was approved yet but either way he was nothing short of wounderful.I am very glad he was my Judge he made everything as easy as possible.And I want to tell him Thank You for Everything!!!!

What a blessing this man was to myself and my family. After 5 years of fighting for benefits, Judge Waitsman approved me. He was kind and considerate and could see that my pain is real. We've lost so much since the onset of my illness to have someone in his position see the emotional toll this has taken was very humbling. Thank you Just Waitsman for all that you have done.

I just want to say that I went before Judge Waitsman on July 24, 2014. He was kind and I felt like he really listened to what I said. He put me at ease in a very stressful situation. In this 2 year process he restored my faith that somebody would actually take the time to look at the facts and listen to what I had to say. I don't know the decision yet, but I do know that I had a fair Judge.
It was my pleasure to appear before Judge Waitsman today. He took a genuine interest in me and the presentation of my appeal. He exuded competence and excellence, and an appreciation for the excellent preparation of my legal counsel. I think he sees clearly and without bias, and is quite able to accurately assess the validity of a client. Thank you for being a man of obvious character, Judge Frederick Waitsman,
Judge Wolfe was very professional but at the same time she was warm and friendly. She made you feel at ease and made this process much easier. Thank you and God bless you judge Wolfe.
This lady didn’t give me a chance, she would not allow me to bring my wife in to speak on my behalf. After waiting over a year she still denied my claim. I’m an American fighting for what I earned , but an immigrant could come a get ssi without ever paying into social security.
This judge was very unfair and expects to reward cases that have a very short life span and will end in death within months. Everyone else should be declared a psychopath by a shrink, lost both legs and eyes and/or be on dialysis permanently. My condition according to my attorney should have won since I'm near 60 with major heart condition and poor blood circulation in legs. I suffered two heart attacks during last two decades and survived them by the skin of my teeth. I depend on a walker to get around because I cannot walk without help. Yet this judge looked at my evidence as if this condition wont affect my work as a former stock clerk at Kmart. I was laid off from that job mostly because of my trouble walking back then in 2014. My case was denied 3 times before seeing Judge Wolf with my condition much worse and me with more pain last week when I received her not favorable decision. The name wolf matches this judge's love to help patients with real health problems like myself. I was told women judges are very inconsiderate towards men with disabilities. If you see her name in your hearing letters, request a different judge other than Wolfe.
Judge Wolfe was very profecional.
