He completely ignored my claims and statements from the doctors and such. He thought I was exadurating my claims and did not believe me. I had good solid evidence and the vocational expert said I was not competitive to work.

How can a judge who ADMITTED that he hired someone to follow and lie against an employee still be allowed to practice? He is horrible and I hope that he does the full ten year sentence!

Her approval rating must be an error. She may seem nice, but she NEVER grants.

Judge Beers scoffed, then scolded my lawyer during my hearing for reading from a law book to ensure that a technicality we wanted to point out was recognized. It made me feel like she had a personal vendetta against him prior to my case. I had a sick feeling in my gut after that & I knew I'd be denied. Just as I suspected- Denied! I'm literally unable to use my shoulders to move or raise my arms, my hands lock up into fists, & I can barely walk from the Lupus & Fibromyalgia that's wrecking my body. But now I have to find a way to work- SOMEWHERE. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm terrified & want to kill myself sometimes because I see no real solutions for me. She has ruined my faith in the system.

It is so terrible when you truly really need help from disability and have to fight like hell to get it and then still get denied. Your health gets worse because you don't have health insurance, and depression starts in. Judge H Beers was nice to my face, but came back with a quick judgement. She was wrong on a few things when it came to information from my doctors and my MRI. Maybe she should look into things better than being so judgemental. This is one of the reasons why this world is falling apart. It's because where people should care, they don't. I can't even give her a rating because it would be a lie.

SHE IS POSSIBLY THE WORST JUDGE OUT THERE. SHE IS MORE CONCERNED WITH HER FAKE EYELASHES THAN THE CLAIMANTS.

This Judge is an incompetent ditz. She made such major procedural errors during the hearing, the appeals council is remanding her unfavorable decision. I wish SSA would hire more ALJS who are competent and professional! It would save a lot of time and money if there were more competent ALJs.

this judge should only have - stars to evaluate his judicial worthiness, You sir are completely heartless and uncaring. I watch my dear friend suffer agonizing, unrelenting and unimaginable pain on a daily basis as she was unfortunate enough to develop reflex sympathetic dystrophy along with other disabling ailments, yet you in your infinite wisdom and understanding of social security law and rules state that although her impairments are severe and affect her ability to perform work related activity you can still find reason not to award her deserving and much needed benefits. How can that be?????

As soon as I saw that this judge only approves 28% of cases, I knew I didn't have much of a chance. Even though their own doctor said I couldn't work and I had full support from my family doctor, he still denied me. He called my impairments severe and stated I have severe disorders of the spine and disorders of the joints, but said he didn't feel they met SSD's listing! I have read the listing and I definitely meet them! I am without insurance, so he said because I have only been treated with conservative medications that he felt my pain level as exaggerated! For one, I don't want to be hooked on strong drugs and for two I can't afford $400 for Lyrica. Plus I don't really even want to take it due to side effects. I feel that if I would have had any other judge that I would have been approved. I waited for almost 2 years and went through so much for NOTHING!!! Now, here I am still in horrible pain, no money, and no insurance. I am not a bum and would work if I could! Good Luck to those who get this man.

Judge bowling was very responsible and fair. My case was approved by him after a denial by a previous judge. I made sure I followed through with my doctors and maitained my own records and studied the requirements to get approved. I did not meet one specific disability to my knowledge but the combination of many qualifying conditions combined was enough for him. The hearing day he had already reviewed my case and approved it. He offered me a choice a hearing to determine it or accept favorable decision with no back back pay and no hearing. I chose to accept his offer.m

The judge was kind to me no matter what he decides. I'm dying. My liver is failing so bi won't be along much longer either way. My hallucinations are getting worse so I'm about at the end of my road. I'll respect what ever he decides. I'm still going to die either way.

Judge Robert Bowling was the judge I went in front of. He denied my claim. I respect his decision. I just think he didn't realize the severity of my health. I am dying. This money is what you are supposed to live on when you get old but the doctor told me that I will never get old. This is it for me. But I guess they're isn't much I can do. My education was held against me. It's a shame my education won't keep me alive.

Based upon the national averages, all of this judge's decisions should be reviewed by the Appeals Counsel. His metrics are too far away from the national averages.

I really feel as if this Judge should be investigated. There is no way a ALJ should have statistics that read 1,842 cases, 1,550 decesions, 1,116 denials, and 434 approved. For the Fisical year as of 05/19/16, this judge has a 20% approval rating, and 63% Denied, 17% dismissed. Numbers don't lie. Due to incurable illness and you are in a wheelchair, receiving home health 3- 5 days a week, a service dog for PTSD, can't grip or hold items well anymore, but I was given unfavorable decision..especially when there is more than enough evidence to support it. Not being able to work for almost 3 yrs, and yet you still are given an Unfavorable Decision..Seriously?? Than your lawyer calls to ask if you want to appeal or start over...You should not have to fight so hard to get disabiltiy if you truly are deserving of it, and especially when you worked the last 25 yrs previous to your diagnosis. This is ridiculous!!

This judge is an horrible. Judge Kittinger has a lower percentage approval rating than him and saw my disability. He does not need to be a deciding judge. He is curt, cold, heartless and acts like you are trying to freeload off the government. You judge Bowling are an ass.

I have Chronic liver disease for the rest of my life through no fault of my own. I don't drink or smoke.Yhis judge was very unsympathetic to my disability I looked at the numbers of cases that he approves/disaproves and they are higher in huntington wv than any where else the minute he asked me if I went to church,and I said no ,I had a gut feeling he would deny it and I told my lawyer when we walked out of the hearing. I am an american citizen. I have worked all my life raised 3 children on my own, Each of my children are college graduates and contributors to society.

I had a hearing before Judge Bowling and he was professional and very thorough.He gave me every opportunity to elaborate on my health situation.No matter the outcome of my hearing,it felt like a weight was lifted by just being able to tell my story.

I went I front of judge Brown today.He seemed like a very nice judge..The lady in the room said it's no jobs I can do or my job I had..But he let my lawyer do all the talking and he ask me a few questions.But either way he was polite...

He denied my disability.Many of the facts he listed in his decision were wrong. I feel he did not listen. One issue he got wrong was listing arthritus as a condition in my left leg when in fact my calf muscle and Achilles tendon were destroyed by gangrene.

Nice smiley-puss who is pleasant in the hearing room and a nasty creep in his opinions. I really do not know how he sleeps at night. He has condemned many legitemately disabled people to lives of abject poverty. He has adopted a definition of disability different from the standard that is contained in the social security statutes and regulations. The protection we all pay for with our social security taxes is not available in his hearing room. He denies claims by ignoring treating opinion evidence and just making facts up out of whole cloth. And there is nothing we can do about it. Northern Arizona no longer has the benefit of the social security system that they paid into because of this creep and the others in this ****-hole of an office. My advice; if you are disabled and live in Northern Arizona: move. There is no fair hearing in this office, much less before this "judge."

Agree with the previous comments. He is biased. ALJ routinely goes against treating source opinions even when they are consistent with the evidence as a whole. When multiple treating physicians and even consultating physicians are in agreement on limitations and the AlJ still goes against these opinions then you know something is up. why do certain ALJ's believe they can play medical doctor and God.

This is an ALJ with an agenda and that agenda does not include applying facts to the law at hand. I can't wait to see how the federal judges (a/k/a real article III judges) intellectually abuse him in their remand and/or award decisions reversing his administrative rulings.

This judge is horrible. Denied my claim in Spfld, Mo as well with Scoliosis, DDD disease. major depression and PTSD. Homeless and maybe appeal, have worked corporately all my life, paid into the system and now they are keeping my money. Ask for change of judge if you get him.

Judge Cheffins made mistakes in dates on my claim where he sited in his reasons for denial which made it totally false for his denial on that basis, he didn't look at all my medical records, and he failed to note severe medical diagnosis and just used moderate in his denial. However, I was not able to appeal these reasons because lawyer said it had to be errors on facts of law? I don't understand why he could make mistakes on dates which affected his findings and also leave out severe impairments and not consider everything as a whole along with age? This is totally unfair to have no recourse on mistakes the judge makes and doesn't consider.

I am 60 years old. From 2014 until 2016 I I was disabled with a non-union fracture of the femur. I also had medical history of soft tissue sarcoma. First occurrence was in 2000 and a second occurrence in 2002, and advanced degenerative disc disease. Even by the rigid DDS standards, I have a disabling condition, and should have been allowed SSDI. but that did not seem to occur to the "judge." My doctor generated a letter indicating I was not able to work full time, even at a DOT sedentary level, but this was also disregarded.

BEST JUDGE EVER. I am 19 year old white male from Arizona . At the age of 15 I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and was prescribed Xanax 2mg x 4 times a day. Due to the side effects of my drugs, I can not work. However, I need them to manage my condition. The judge was understanding and granted me full disability. Never met a more understanding judge!

This man had an intimidating demeanor in the courtroom but I shrugged it off as I am used to people treating me like a child. I got my hearing decision in the mail today. He had twisted my words and outright said something that wasnt true and I never states during my hearing. Also said I experience hallucinations and I have never stated that to a medical provider. Because it isnt true. My lawyer and I will be discussing an appeal this Monday over the phone and I am very upset to see that some of these reviews posted are consistent with the behavior and opposing views he has shown to deny my disability. I cannot hold down a fulltime job nor work jobs like fast food due to the mental illnesses and anxiety disorders I have. I can't even get hired for a permanent position. I am tired of having to force myself to try and work jobs I can't mentally handle. If this judge had any idea what it was like for a disabled person that has very little support in their life to get by then maybe he would realize he cant keep denying people their chances of being on social security. Its morally wrong. And he will be receiving a complaint from me formally. Do not take his legal advice and appeal if you get denied from him!

Judge Crocker denied my husbands disability. My husband cant walk, sit, sleep and he is in pain most every waking hour! He has reports from 2 doctors that give him a maximum of lifting 10 pounds! My husband has ALWAYS been a hard working man and all his hard work proved was showing that he is a fighter and it got him denied! He has had numerous surgeries and has spondylolisthesis, carpal tunnel in both hands, diverticulitis, crohn's disease, he has to walk on a cane due to sudden weakness in his legs and at times I even have to wipe his behind ! Yet he was denied! What the heck is wrong with these judges! I'm willing to bet if he had gone before the judge and NEVER worked he would have been approved! I don't know how we are expected to survive, we have paid into the system from the time we were 18 and now he is 49 and I am 50, and the stress from worrying about the bills have taken their toll. I work full time but we all know it takes 2 incomes! He isn't asking for a handout he is has worked his entire life and paid into the system! I know this judge is new but good grief show some compassion! During the hearing you guys couldn't even find a job that he could do!

Your honor, David B. Daugherty, I am 55 years old, 17 years in the military, worked hard my whole life, I have degenerative disk disease and an enlarged aortic root, all well documented medical findings. My case went before an ALJ, my attorney said that my case is a good case. Well! The judge that looked at the case denied the case, we appealed and got a remand. Today I wait again and it's really sad that our fate falls in the hand of someone like the first judge that didn't judge by the letter of the law but by his prejudicial judgement. I see this all the time in this social security system, as Americans we deserve better treatment. And if I lose this again, the appeal to the Supreme Court would be an outrageous wait, I'll be either dead or at retirement age by the time it goes to court. Please help!

In August 2017, Judge David B Daugherty was sentenced to four years in prison for crimes related to granting so many fraudulent claims in return for bribes paid by a lawyer named Eric Christopher Conn. Most people in Southern WV and Eastern KY already know this, but since this site had no information about it, it would be sad to think a visitor might be impressed by former Judge Daugherty’s claim stats.

I am very thankful for Judge Micheal W Devlin. He listened to my case and truly understood how my illness adversely affected my life. He understood what becoming sick had made my life a living hell. He had compassion for me God bless him for that. His decision will allow me hold my head up again and not be ashamed because I'm sick

Terrible person and a worse ALJ. Didn't consider the medical evidence at all, based her "judgement" on her opinions only! Horrible!

Judge Dunlap is one of, if not the, very best ALJ's. Her knowledge of Social Security Disability law is amazing, and she is patient, kind, professional, and willing to provide extra time to complete the record--even to order a post-hearing consultative examination. When my clients are fortunate enough to be assigned to her, I tell them they have the best. I've even gone so far as to say that I probably will not appeal her decision, because it probably will be right. I'm shocked to read that anyone would think negatively of her.

She is a careful Judge and will take time to give a just verdict. Though she takes long time but she wants to get it right by sending claimants to a specialist doctor if in doubt, to confirm disability claims. She Knows what she is doing and nice to claimants.

MY DAUGHTER SHOULD HAVE WIN HER CASE. SHE STAYS IN BED DAILY EXCEPT DR APPOINTMENTS. THE JUDGE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES IN HER DECISIONS AND OMITTED THE VOCATIONAL EXPERT WITNESSES FINAL WORDS IN HER HEARING BASED OFF CHRONIC FATIGUE, EXCESSIVE SLEEPINESS CAUSED BY THREE SEVERE IMPAIRMENTS AND THE MEDICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE IMPAURMENTS. SHE EVEN DIDN'T LOOK AT OBSERVED Evidence by a sleep study of observe RLS and tried to throw out RLS from a procedure 6 months prior to the sleep study...My daughter shared situations showing she couldn't perform task and instead this judge turned it into does instead of doesn't because it separated her energy. I have watched my daughter go down significantly the past few years. She doesn't leave her home except for Dr visits. She even quit driving after her hearing because when the hi d he asked if she drove which at the time she only drove to her Dr and store to get meds which she sent her family in to get her food and meds...well my daughter thought the judge would remove her license bc of her driving while so fatigued she felt it was dangerous so my daughter gets rides to her appointments now. The system is messed up and discriminates against age, and doesn't pay attention to licensed physicians and their findings and knowledge of symptoms, medications that are included in each illness a person has. I feel bad for my daughter who has worked since she was 15 and later into the system. We will help her appeal this hearing. We will write our congressmen on her behalf. She continues to see her physician's and fight for her chronic pain, fatigue and the horrible side effects if her medications she deals with along with her memory loss, and confusion she faces.

We were before her twice. She denied first case. Appeals council remanded because she had not considered the opinion of a renowned specialist at Baylor. She really had a attitude at the second hearing. This time, the Appeals Council remanded again and sent her a very detailed list of errors she had made that were not in accordance with social security laws and procedure. So, I would have to say she is not as well versed in SSI law as others have said. This time they remanded to another ALJ because of all her screw ups.

I won partial disability after a federal remand. I'm not over my illnesses, none of them I cry in pain daily. I struggle sleepingm I actually recently found out from a neurologist that I have small fiber neuropathy that led to a lot of my fibromyalgia illness, plus 60% hereditary from my mom. I was in a car accident in 97 he thinks the neuropathy started then that's when my migraines started. I was forced to try to go back to work and failed to as my job was threatened by my employers, but this judge felt I was better for some reason. My impression of her was she understood, but after reading her report she did not understand at all. Saying someone is better as they have an asthma attack in the court room and because they try to do something and you found that they would not be able to do this either should not put them partially disability. But fully. Unfortunately I will not keep fighting I'm out of points I will just have to wait until retirement comes. But its unfortunate we pay into a system so broken it helps people who never pay into it, then those of us who cant get as my neurologist puts it energy into the cell and that fibromyalgia recognized in 2012 counted as severe by "my rheumatologist " who knew me who not only saw me but emailed me about my symptoms and my multiple other doctors and two other rheumatologist who saw me. I have other Autoimmune it takes years to figure out yet you still had it back in 2017 I tried to explain it nobody hears your pain and suffering, your fatigue nobody gets it until they have it, or know someone with it as bad as you have it. The stuff listed isn't near as bad as my fibromyalgia, neuropathy, and autoimmune stuff other than my asthma. Sad bc I liked her disposition. But maybe the surgery amplified all this the neurologist said. It's sad you cant get help. But neuropathy is disabling. And nobody listens.

I went before her, very recently. She was initially friendly and then immediately became condescending when she began questioning me. I was filing for permanent disability due to major depression and bipolar disorder. About the only questions she asked me about (and she made sure she made a big deal about it) was some mission trips and vacation trips. I believe she already had her decision before I ever walked in the door. She asked the job expert if I could physically work at a job assembling nuts/bolts or being a garment bagger. The expert said yes. That was it for her. Then my rep asked the expert if I could retain either of those jobs if I missed an average of four days a month. The expert said no. I very much felt like she had discounted me and saw me as someone trying to work the system before I ever walked through the door. I will be requesting a copy of the audio recording of my hearing upon my appeal.

I pity people that have to go before this judge. In general he seemed like a nice guy. But when you leave he's a different person. It took me 2 years to get this far. Only to have a letter show up at my home with countless errors in it. I filled because of my severe knee problems and my speech problems. In the letter all these specialists that the state of Kansas sent me to "Carried Little to no" consideration. He conveniently wrote off 8 years of MRI reports, and dozens of state and private doctor/specialist recommendations. He also conveniently didn't even mention some of my other problems with my knees that are well documented. Instead I receive a letter with an entire page telling me "Acne" isn't considered a disability? Well no "censored". I never filed because of acne. What kind of person would hire an attorney and wait 2 years and ask to be disabled because of acne? How that ended up in my file is beyond me. Then somehow Dyslexia ended up in my file too. And he went on and on stating there is no evidence of Dyslexia. Well gosh maybe that's because I do not have Dyslexia. I didn't even know what that was until I googled it. There are countless errors in this judges decision to ultimately turn me down. Bottom line is if this is your judge you have no hope. You like me wasted 2 plus years for nothing. All so you could get a letter with an entire page dedicated to acne. You can also expect countless errors in his decision. Along with facts that would have greatly helped you be conveniently left out.

Only to have a letter show up at my home with countless errors in it. I filled because of my severe knee problems and my speech problems. In the letter all these specialists that the state of Kansas sent me to "Carried Little to no" consideration. He conveniently wrote off 8 years of MRI reports, and dozens of state and private doctor/specialist recommendations. He also conveniently didn't even mention some of my other problems with my knees that are well documented. Instead I receive a letter with an entire page telling me "Acne" isn't considered a disability? Well no "censored". I never filed because of acne. What kind of person would hire an attorney and wait 2 years and ask to be disabled because of acne? How that ended up in my file is beyond me. Then somehow Dyslexia ended up in my file too. And he went on and on stating there is no evidence of Dyslexia. Well gosh maybe that's because I do not have Dyslexia. I didn't even know what that was until I googled it. There are countless errors in this judges decision to ultimately turn me down. Bottom line is if this is your judge you have no hope. You like me wasted 2 plus years for nothing. All so you could get a letter with an entire page dedicated to acne. You can also expect countless errors in his decision. Along with facts that would have greatly helped you be conveniently left out.
Response: It is probably late for you to take your case to the United States District Court in Topeka Kansas. You need to contact the court at 785 338 5400 in Topeka or 913 735 2200 in Kansas City. You will probably be told to re-apply again for SSDI with Social Security, then file a petition with one of the courts listed above within 30 days following the decision of the Appeals Council by Social Security. If you do that, and you get denied benefits at the one of the courts listed above, you need to follow through and appeal the decision to the US Court of Appeals . It is a lengthy process, but it is worth doing if you can back up your claim and you are in pain.

My son just got his decision and was denied SSI. He has been fighting for 4 years. We don't know what went wrong, but, trust me, I will find out. My son has Bi-Polar Disorder, PTSD, Sever Depression, a fractured spine, Spondylosis, arthritis, and arthritis in his spine. He is in pain 24/7 and has not been able to work much at all in his adult life due to all his issues. The work specialist at the hearing stated to the judge that there was no job he would be able to do due to the type of disabilities that he has. I know for a 100% fact that several things on his list of disabilities qualifies him for disability along with the statement from the work specialist. I have not received the letter of explanation as to why he was denied, but, I guarantee that he either made a mistake or he just ignored the medical evidence that was presented to him. If this is not resolved then my son, with my help, will file a grievance against this judge. For anyone reading this here is where you go to get information on filing a grievance against an alj: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10071.pdf. We will have his attorney file an appeal first, but, like I said if this is not resolved with an approval for disability we will not hesitate for one minute to file a grievance!!!

This is a person who has a vendetta with patients. He altered my medical record (clearly on purpose as it differed substantially from the recorder during the hearing) to keep me from receiving my benefits. My advise is to appeal and follow through the federal court of appeals because what I was subjected to is unconstitutional.

My advise is to send complaints to: Attn: Division of Quality Service, Suite 1702, Office of Disability and Adjudication Review, 5107 Leesburg Pike Falls Church, VA 22041–3255. Always be represented by attorney at Social Security. Do not appeal to the Appeals Council because that will be another denial after 2 more years of wait time. Start another application with a representative after you withdraw from the applications that have been denied.

This judge is a horrible judge. I couldn't believe it when I read his denial letter. He listed every single specialist that saw my son and each one he said was not qualified to diagnose his problems. Who is he to say a specialist, a state approved and licensed medical doctor, is not qualified?? He just denies people based on lies and his own arrogance because he has control over other people's lives and he hurts them with no care for them at all. He needs to retire! He is not qualified to say a licensed doctor is not qualified to do their job. If the state approves a doctor's license and grants them approval to work in this state who is he to say they are not qualified?? This case is no going through the Federal Courts to be over turned. We requested for the Federal Judge to reverse his decision. Normally they send it back to the judge telling them they recommend them to change their decision. However, we talked to at least 4 different attorney's to take it to the Federal Court who all of them told us they wouldn't take the case to Federal Court because if they send it back to him telling him to reverse his decision that he would not do it. They all told us he never follows the recommendation from Federal Court to reverse any decision he has ever made. So, we asked the Federal Judge to not send it back to him, but, rather reverse his decision based on all the testimony from my son's doctors. This should have been a clear cut case. It's now been 6 years that my son has been fighting for his SSI. That is very pathetic. This judge needs to be disbarred. He doesn't follow the law and he doesn't follow the guidelines laid down by the Social Security Administration.

This woman was my judge, she is a very nice judge. Whereas i have not received my conclusion to my case yet. I just wanted to confirm that. This judge was indeed very nice, through, and kind. I am someone who us on the spectrum, I am an adult. I think its important to advocate for yourself and though i needed help with a lawyer I have been learning to trust my Journey. I hope and pray if you the reader is going through disability hearing that your experience is anxiety free. Though I have a huge amount of anxiety, this judge and her voice helped to make my experience less anxiety filled. It was the Vocational Rep., who gave me anxiety and extra overwhelming sensory issues because of the extra sounds coming from his phone on his end (not static but extra unwanted noises that i someone on the spectrum could not get past).

Judge Doyle heard my case on 8/2/2018. This woman was absolutely incredible as well as the ve. I know they heard me and understood exactly what I have been going through for years I am a female veteran. These women were professional especially Judge Doyle as I had to take a moment during my hearing. If anybody says this woman is unprofessional or unfair and not impartial it's totally false. She's awesome!

My lawyer told me that Judge Gartner was a new judge so our attention was on high and we were hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. I'm in the hospital now as we speak and was unable to attend my hearing due to hospitalization and some haunting health impairments. I was able to get a letter from doctor by the skin of my teeth so that Judge Gartner wouldnt dismiss my case due to me being unable to physically appear. We sat by the phone waiting to see if he was going to postpone or dismiss. Surprisingly he approved my case without even speaking or seeing me. I was floored and excited!! My lawyer and I were amazed because I was told that something like this was rare and highly unlikely. I want to thank him for looking and observerving the evidence and realizing that I am in a position of health decline. I am honored to to be the first person from what I see to write a honorable report on Judge Gartner. This will be a huge burden taken off of my family and myself. I now can pay for my own medications and can pay out my tab at a few of my health appointment locations. I've read only a few reviews and I must say I believe I was assigned to the most favorable guy in the building!! Thank you Judge Gartner for everything and it would have been my honor and a pleasure if I was able to meet you in person.

Judge Richard P. Gartner presided on 12-19-16 @ 11:am during my Disability Hearing via Video Teleconference. I, with God as my lawyer, was in the Miami, Florida (I have been a Miami resident for 57 years) ODAR office and the Judge was in St. Petersburg, Florida. My wait time for this hearing started on October 31st, 2014 until my receipt of the Notice of Hearing on November 21st, 2016 (2 years and 21 days plus the one year before the hearing starting on October 21st, 2013 when I applied). An excruciating, stress-filled three year period of my now 60 year old life, which I cannot wish on my worst enemy. The honorable Judge Gartner is truly HONORABLE in the full extension and meaning of the word. He and his staff ( Roxana, and the others I spoke with were Diana, Tania and Chad) are considerate, respectful and thoughtfully attentive. He asked many specific questions and explained many proceedings, rights and laws in detail. In addition, I had the extraordinary good fortune of having the presence of Ms. Cynthia Stephens (appointed by ODAR), from Professional Evaluations Plus, who gave her professional opinion as to my disabilities when asked by Judge Gartner. I am grateful to all mentioned. May good health, laughter and sincerity be theirs always! It is a very real pity that the exact OPPOSITE of my compliments and experience with the St. Petersburg, ODAR is true of the Miami Fl. ODAR receptionist, Duroy, and a man named, Claudio De Leon x 28315 listed as the Miami, Fl. ODAR contact for any questions on the SSA website regarding any questions about the upcoming court hearing. De Leon, answered as if angry that his slumber had been disturbed. He hung up on me after asking where I got his extension; I called him back and his excuse for being rude was that he was the Miami ODAR Operations System Administrator!!! He is an employee of SSA and he was listed as the contact by SSA on their website. SSA is HIS employer. There are no words other than just awful, but a MUST mention as part of my overall experience. I hope this helps others as to what to expect and have the good luck of having Judge Gartner preside at their hearing.

He is an employee of SSA and he was listed as the contact by SSA on their website. SSA is HIS employer. There are no words other than just awful, but a MUST mention as part of my overall experience. I hope this helps others as to what to expect and have the good luck of having Judge Gartner preside at their hearing.
Judge called my lawyer on 3/30/2018 - said he approved my claim back to 8/4/2014. 5/17/2018- judge decision FINALLY SENT to Social security Admin for processing. After kidney cancer removed, I am in renal failure and being watched for kidney failure- needed my benefits all this time. CAN'T RECEIVE MEDICAL CARE! WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO GET APPROVED? WHY SO LONG TO SEND APPROVAL? LUCKILY I'M STILL ALIVE - BUT JUST BARELY!!!

Judge Griggs treated me with respect and dignity while I was in his courtroom. He was truly professional and appears to take his position seriously. As this was my only appearance in a court of any kind, I wasn't sure what to expect. He made the process much less traumatic. At least one person now sees our court system positively as a result.

Judge Griggs started very friendly and well mannered. He seemed to care about my concerns an health but towards the end I felt rushed. I understood time was limited but if I only get an hour for you to get to know my problems I think it's your job to listen. Of course he denied me after I waited three years to get that court date, he twisted my words, he granted little weight to what my doctors said, he basically called us all liars. I'm sorry your a judge not a doctor nor do you live in my body so how would you know anything. Those who do know me and worked with me wrote letters, not people I just met but people known for many years even decades but he granted little weight to them too. Was written that some of the letters were made up, although numbers and addresses were provided so he could have contacted anyone at anytime for verification. He judged me not on my medical conditions but by his own judgements. Everything I said I did he shot me down, well, how do disable people drive, cook, shop for groceries, get their kids to school, help with homework, pay bills, take a shower? Because these were the reasons my disability was denied.

He didn't even read my file. Told me I had 4 months to prepare then scheduled me 3 months out instead! He scheduled me one day before a holiday, so of course no one could drive me, and he said I had to come in! It's 1.5 hrs to court for me! I wrote my statement over a month early, as to why that date wouldn't work, they never read it! Got statement of court date two weeks prior, I call and they refuse to change it! He was very demeaning, and made comments like, I doubt you really did that! Talked down to me a lot like he was superior and I was crap! Tired of being harassed, this process is nightmare enough! great judge, HA!

He didn't even read my file. Told me I had 4 months to prepare then scheduled me 3 months out instead! He scheduled me one day before a holiday, so of course no one could drive me, and he said I had to come in! It's 1.5 hrs to court for me! I wrote my statement over a month early, as to why that date wouldn't work, they never read it! Got statement of court date two weeks prior, I call and they refuse to change it! He was very demeaning, and made comments like, I doubt you really did that! Talked down to me a lot like he was superior and I was crap! Tired of being harassed, this process is nightmare enough! great judge, HA!

The Priviledge of his time was greatly appreciated and I thanked him for his time. He was very nice and polite and said I was the only one in all his years to Thank him and if I needed anything else, contact him and I have sent him a Gmail. KUDOS Judge Griggs for help with SSDI instead of SSI.

Judge Griggs is a good and fair man. I need to speak with you. This man who hears plenty of people's complaints are fair and just! I worked hard all my life and would still be if not so weak and ill. Then there's Joe on the other side never had a hammer in his hands on SSI for carpel tunnel! I am very sick since you saw me going through injections in the trigger points around my left shoulder where the rottweiler attacked me. I have had 6 tumors removed from the left side but not cancer although I have Hashimotos Disease now. I have been up to 209lbs down to 115lbs. My husband filed for SSDI and the hearing was Friday. However, all of his information was run on a disc,but it was blank. Even that Judge couldn't. So now a Brief is going to be submitted. Even one lady at SSDI said that he had a grave injustice done and my check should not be taken. You said if I ever needed you, get ahold of you. I am down on my knees begging for your help. Thank you for your time.

The Honorable Administrative Law Judge, Gordon W. Griggs; I am Kathy Minard and I am the one that thanked you for your time. I am being told that if my husband's case in which our local office "lost" the main part of his case, they are going to take my check of $562.50 SSI but I was deemed total disabilled and should be getting SSDI since you saw and questioned me in 2009. I am so much worse than when you saw me. I lost my father, lost my place to live,my therapy dog poisoned, and lost over over 100 lbs. Stress kicks up the RSD I got after the 150 lb rottweiler attacked me. My bones break easy and I am trying to let my femor heal. I have excruciating pain!! If there's a time I need you and your expertise, it is now! Please help me get SSDI and not lose my check altogether. Have a great day with my best regards. Kathy S Minard 2548 South 8th Street Ironton, OH 45638 PH: 740-442-3116-unlisted I still say that you have the No. 1 Judge!!

How can a Social Security Office lose the most important part of a claim? Also, young adults that lie to get SS or others that worked all your hard life refused or check taken if the spouse receives SSDI? This is not fair. My Excellent Judge Gordon W Griggs

I understood time was limited but if I only get an hour for you to get to know my problems I think it's your job to listen. Of course he denied me after I waited three years to get that court date, he twisted my words, he granted little weight to what my doctors said, he basically called us all liars. I'm sorry your a judge not a doctor nor do you live in my body so how would you know anything. Those who do know me and worked with me wrote letters, not people I just met but people known for many years even decades but he granted little weight to them too. Was written that some of the letters were made up, although numbers and addresses were provided so he could have contacted anyone at anytime for verification. He judged me not on my medical conditions but by his own judgements. Everything I said I did he shot me down, well, how do disable people drive, cook, shop for groceries, get their kids to school, help with homework, pay bills, take a shower?

You told me that no one has ever thanked you for your time and if I needed you,to contact you! It's not right to be told by a such an Honorable Federal Judge, Mr. Gordon Griggs granted me my SSDI but Social Security gave me SSI all of this time and they took $3,000 for specialized tests done by my medical specialist who done the first successful hand transplant so their tests weren't needed. My check has been canceled and I didn't have any food or milk or any other way to get it. I've gone beyond the point of Jobs and Family Svs and told me to try one more time and give me the SSDI. I desperately need your help now in getting back my loss of my little check The answer behind the medical pain was diagnosed as RSD&Dr told me that I would never recover this and have to be in a Brace on some parts and any injury may be suseptable when they told me that I have a disease that is incurable like cancer of the bone and blood. I have endured this since 2/10/2007 when the 150lb rott- weiler attacked me in my front yard. John was also hurt on his shoulder and back but I was the only one that needed emergency care. We, again, had to move back to Ironton to live with my father for 10 yrs until John would find an attorney to help and she didn't have a lic disability or? That was 2009 and when I had gone . So the SS Office told him that he had to sign up for retirement. They have taken my check and the Tech Expert, Sandra.Yancy@ssa.gov said that it would not do me any good to talk with you. You said if I needed you, you would be there for me. I definitely need you now.! PLEASE HELP ME NOW bc my husband gets retirement that was forced on him, doesn't believe that half of his check goes to me. I'm not getting what you ordered and never have. I have to ask for anything from my husband, and he refuses to believe it's his now and I have endured so much and getting worse day by day and want what you ordered me to get. There's no way I could try to work. . . I can't buy the extras that I need to raise my immunity and I have macular degeneration that has weakened my right eye. I'm on special vitamins and have to go back to the eye Dr. Not a day goes by that the pain doubles me over. I'm nursing a broken femur and knee bc of I have to be awake for any surgeries.

To say while sitting on the bench that your physician and therapists reports have no merit is poor judgement. To put more merit on the opinions of so called experts who only is in contact with you for 15 or 20 minutes how this judge renders a decision. I would ask her record be reviewed and something done about her decision making process. While I sit here after working 25 years and in this process for 2 years (and my 2nd denial) I watch my neighbor a drug addicted former nurse breeze through the process and get approved first try!

Wow....I am a law student reading this and it is pretty disheartening. A judge that disregards medical evidence? Isn't that the basis for determining whether or not a disability exists? This so-called "judge" should be disbarred. Personal opinion should not enter into it. A judge is required to make a decision based on the evidence provided.

Her denial rate is approximately 15% higher than the national average....????? Has there ever been any kind of an investigation about a possible motivation for denying claims?

I personally have sat in front of her to here my case. I found that she was very polite and formal. She knows exactly what she is doing. She was very engaged and interested in hearing my testimony. She asked lots of questions and gave me her undivided attention. I did have a lawyer with me just because I wanted to make sure I was treated fairly after reading horror stories about these hearings. I have not had a decision yet from my hearing but I have no doubt she puts a lot of consideration of the medical facts, testimony, and overall assessment of one's character in her decisions. Regardless Of a favorable decision, if I am given one, I thought she was very professional and fair.

Personally, I don't think she follows the procedure she is supposed to. I have been seeing my doctor every 30 days for 18 years, yet she said in her decision that she placed no credibility in my treating physicians. I was well into a six-figure salary, and I'm not so stupid that I would rather have $2000/mo than $10000/mo. I had a major heart attack in which I had a 95% blockage in the left coronary, and a 90% blockage in my right coronary. The only reason I survived, and this was said by 2 cardiologists, was just so happened that I lived next door to the local ambulance service and stumbled in there before I lost consciousness. If I had waited 10 to 15 minutes for paramedics I would have never survived. Judge Hodges said in her decision that the stenting was successful, and therefore there were no remaining issues with my heart. After showing my cardiologist that, he said "that is the most ludicrous statement I have ever seen!" I still have a 65% blockage that can only be reached by open heart surgery, and all doctors said that my best course of action was to treat the remaining blockage with medication, and to "hang it up". However, she stated that I could do a job as long as I could sit and stand at will, takes breaks as often as I needed one, and as long as my employer placed no pressure to perform at a pace that I could not tolerate. I am over 55, and even the courts VE said I was limited to sedentary work. Even going by the "grid rules" I am considered disabled.

I've been a member of the bar for over 30 years, and one who has represented claimants in Social Security cases. First of all, to the law student who posted 3/22/14 - by now, you may be practicing law, and no doubt are a bit more seasoned. To speak so disrespectfully about a judge you don't know, and to suggest she should be disbarred, is not appropriate - especially since you apparently are not familiar with the Social Security law's definition of disability. To the rest of you, I am sympathetic, honestly, but I hope that none of you had attorneys or other representatives - if you did, they may not have explained the applicable law to you as carefully as they should have. While your treating physician's opinion is entitled to great weight IF he/she points to objective medical evidence (tests, etc.) and limits his/her opinion to how long you can sit/walk/stand, how much you can lift, and other points of work-related function, other than simply saying you are 'disabled,' it is not entitled to weight if all your doctor says is "my patient is disabled" and there is no indication that he/she has even reviewed Social Security's definition. The law's definition of disability is not the one you find in the dictionary, or what you think of as disability as an average citizen. In reality, the Social Security law is slanted in favor of the claimant, believe it or not. BTW - my experience with Judge Hodges is that she is fair, courteous, and knows the law. I suspect those who are displeased with her here are those who disagreed with her decisions. If so, appeal them - don't complain about her just because you don't agree with her outcome.

Oh, and to the person who posted 11/20/2012 and said that the vocational expert found you excluded from gainful employment - I think perhaps there's a misunderstanding there as well. Vocational experts typically respond to hypothetical questions about persons with the claimant's age, education and work experience, but with various types of limitations. Normally at least three different hypothetical questions are asked and, yes, the goal is to find a hypothetical individual who most closely matches the claimant's work-related restrictions. The vocational expert never gives testimony about whether or not YOU, the claimant, can or cannot engage in "substantial gainful activity" work. However, it is not uncommon for the expert to identify at least one of the hypothetical people as having no work available to him or her in the national economy. My guess is, the hypothetical individual the ALJ found closest to your situation was NOT identified by the vocational expert as having no work available to him/her, which may have been the basis for your denial.

I had a hearing before her in July of 2016. Yes, she did ask a lot of questions, very specific ones, and I tried to answer as honestly and truthfully as I could. Yet despite the massive evidence placed before her, she denied me and it has caused disastrous consequences for myself and my husband. My husband is totally disabled, too, and we are living on 475.00 (his SSI) per month now that I cannot work. I have re-filed for help, but am in fear of losing our home before something gives, or before I even get a decision.I have a personal diagnosed history of 2 heart attacks, 3 coronary stents due to coronary artery disease, degenerative disk disease and one past back surgery, arthritis, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder and major bouts of recurrent major depression. In May of this year I fell, resulting in a fractured clavicle and torn tendon of my right rotator cup. Yet after 5 days hospitalization, I returned to work, in great pain, as it was a hot, hard job with heavy lifting, not knowing at the time that my collar bone was fractured. I was summarily dismissed 2 weeks later, and was replaced by a 19-year-old. Of course they did not tell me it was due to my health, but I knew, as hard as I tried, I simply was not able to keep up with the work pace anymore. I explained all of this to her. I also went to Vocational Rehabilitation, but my counselor closed my case, stating she wishes she could help me find placement, but she simply felt that by my medical record, there was no job or training into which she felt she could safely place me. Now, I know that judges are required to follow stringent laws and rules, but I wish I were able to ask Her Honor is she ever truly takes into consideration what kind of havoc her decisions wreak on the lives of those who truly want to be able to work, but who simply cannot do it anymore. I am scared, and I feel there is no place left to turn. I just want to be able to stay in my home, and to pay my bills.

I also went to Vocational Rehabilitation, but my counselor closed my case, stating she wishes she could help me find placement, but she simply felt that by my medical record, there was no job or training into which she felt she could safely place me. Now, I know that judges are required to follow stringent laws and rules, but I wish I were able to ask Her Honor is she ever truly takes into consideration what kind of havoc her decisions wreak on the lives of those who truly want to be able to work, but who simply cannot do it anymore. I am scared, and I feel there is no place left to turn. I just want to be able to stay in my home, and to pay my bills.
I had a hearing before her in July of 2016. Yes, she did ask a lot of questions, very specific ones, and I tried to answer as honestly and truthfully as I could. Yet despite the massive evidence placed before her, she denied me and it has caused disastrous consequences for myself and my husband. My husband is totally disabled, too, and we are living on 475.00 (his SSI) per month now that I cannot work. I have re-filed for help, but am in fear of losing our home before something gives, or before I even get a decision.I have a personal diagnosed history of 2 heart attacks, 3 coronary stents due to coronary artery disease, degenerative disk disease and one past back surgery, arthritis, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder and major bouts of recurrent major depression. In May of this year I fell, resulting in a fractured clavicle and torn tendon of my right rotator cup. Yet after 5 days hospitalization, I returned to work, in great pain, as it was a hot, hard job with heavy lifting, not knowing at the time that my collar bone was fractured.

Absolutely horrendous to work with. Extremely rude to coworkers, claimants, and representatives.

Well I don't have anything bad to say. She was my alj judge and she denied me.

I just went in front of her today and I have no idea how she is going to rule in my case. I found her to be completely professional at her job,( no way it could be easy deciding these cases),,also found her very polite and pleasant, compassionate, and attentive. Her decision will in fact change my life for the better or for the worse. I'm confident she will make the best decision that feels is appropriate. May God bless her

This judge reviewed my husband's case about 5 weeks ago, today we received his "unfavorable" decision from her! He was told that there were 3 jobs open in the tri-state area he could do...A PHOTOGRAPHER in Huntington and CHarleston (which is 2 to 2 and a half hours from us)! First of all, he can no longer drive long distances due to his road rage issues...he used to be a kind, loving man...not since his injury and NO LONGER BEING ABLE TO WORK! Second, we can not afford for him to drive that far...PERIOD! Third, he has worked hard with his hands and back for 30+ years in the coal mines...he has NO INTEREST OR TALENT FOR TAKING PICTURES! There is a reason I am absent from our family snapshots...I take the pictures! I think it is a shame that this judge did not even have the courtesy to "show up" for the hearing...I was told she paid very little attention to the proceedings and was rude and unkind to a man who would love to be able to work and do for his family what he used to be able to do! We are good US citizens, we have worked and paid taxes...no criminal activity in our past, but yet we are penalized at every turn for "playing bythe rules" and being honest...this judge should be reviewed based on this case and her inability to sympathize with the people she is supposed to "Judge".

This hack of a judge has a 71% denial rate....seriously? She denies people based on her hefty prejudices. This woman should be disbarred and thrown to the wolves. Shame on her for acting the way she does! She doesn't deserve to do this job, denying genuinely disabled people for her sick pleasure!

I have to agree that her numbers and metrics do indeed merit an investigation from the national office.

I have a strange feeling she starts writing her denial before the hearing. It's funny, if she approved 83% of her cases, there would be red flags going off everywhere, she's so far the national average it's amazing. I can't overemphasize the need to stand up like the Queens, New York victims.

She seems to go through the file looking for anything negative that she can use to deny the case. Good judges give Claimants a fair opportunity. She seems to be completely consumed by getting the hearing over with and finding a way to deny the case. I also think she largely writes her decisions ahead of time. One has to wonder why even have hearings with that type of approach.

Did anyone else have this experience with this judge, she relies strictly on people who never examine you, and discounts doctors who have seen you for years, even social security doctors who perform CE exams. This is abuse of power.

This judge is getting worse, next to Alaska, you have no chance to win in Montana. Who's watching these judges, no wonder West Virginia told Kelley to please leave.

If you ever get judge Kelley, you may as well start your appeals council report, this judge is by far the worst in the United States. The sad thing about it, nobody seems to care. My advice to anyone, before you apply for social security disability, move to another state, you will not win in Montana. She has to be writing her decisions before the hearing. What happened in Queens, New York has to be coming to Montana, what's going on here is too obvious. Judge Kelley is a hired gun from West Virginia, her approval rating there was a whopping 7%, and she keeps her job, only in America.

If Judge Daugherty was sought out for an approval rating in the 90% then why does SSA not investigate Jude Michele M. Kelley for a denial rate percentage in the 90's. Not only this judge but there are more. We the people need to make our legislative branches check into this...it is up to us to demand they do an investigation just as they did on Judge Daugherty. SPEAK UP PEOPLE its our only chance.

The Appeals Council in Falls Church, VA needs to examine administratively all of her cases simply due to her high denial rate versus the national average. The fact that she has had problems and controversy due to this in the past merits and investigation into all of her cases and an administrative review of all of them.

Kelley is the worst woman ive ever had the displeasure of meeting. I was scheduled a hearing October 27th, she postponed 2 days before my hearing, 8 months later I finally got my case heard, wich by then I waited 2 years 8 months. she gave us ( by us I mean my lawyer and I ) 50 minutes to present our case, of those 50 minutes she took up most of it herself. by the time we tried to present my case she wouldn't listen to my lawyer she kept cutting him off!! he finally got up to leave and she yelled at him and told him to sit down. even the v.o.c rep wouldn't look up not even once. it was the most horrible excperence ive ever been in. my lawyer said out of the thousands of cases hes done mine was best to receive disability. he said I should consider moving out of state because I had no chance with her. my advice to anyone that gets her as a judge don't even waste your time you will lose. someone should have her investigated and removed from the bench. what a poor exscuse for a judge and a woman.....

If you get your notice for a hearing, and this judge is listed, don't go, protest, check whatever laws are on the books, you could have terminal cancer, and she would think you could still work the remaining 6 months of your life. At 18%, that basically means no one wins, surprisingly, when this judge was in West Virginia she approved 7%.

Well folks, you're not alone. I've been filing since 2012. Denied by ALJ Kilroy. Took it to 9th Circuit Court. Had court with AlJ Kelley while waiting on 9th Circuit decision. 9th Circuit judge said ALJ Kilroy made many errors. Case was reversed and remanded. She denied my case seeing I can have a retrial based on his errors. Here goes six years now. The system is very corrupt.

Here goes another appeal. AlJ Kelley adopted and copied AlJ Kilroy's conclusion word for word and denied case. I guess she didn't take time to review the 9th Circuit Supreme Court decision stating that AlJ Kilroy errored in most of his conclusion. This is so wrong! What a waist of time for everyone. I guess they call this monopoly game job security. People's lives really don't matter.

She was quick to point out I had cannabis in my system. Failed to mention that it was approved by Dr. and medical marijuana card is on file with VA. Dr. Also recommend eating cannabis verse smoking it. She wanted to imply I was doing something wrong! The game goes on........

AlJ Kelley was quick to point out that I had cannabis in my system for the record. However, she failed to report that it was approved By the VA Doctor and Medical Marijuana card is on file. Dr. even states that he recommends eating cannabis verse smoking it. Funny how they leave certain things out to make people think you're abusing the system. In all reality the ALJ's are the ones abusing their power by not being honest about reviewing your claim in full.

About the only suggestion I have for any one in Montana applying for disability, move and hope 60 minutes does a story on this area. Kelley was run out of West Virginia, 7% approval now up to 20%, don't go to your hearing with her or Kiljoy, you have no chance. I bet they get a bonus for most denials.

Absolute joke! Kelly completely disregarded EVERYTHING my doctors, social security doctor and medical records say. Her mind was already made up before I entered the room. Very bitter woman that thinks she can ‘save’ social security by rejecting such a high %. How does this cold hearted ***** sleep at night? I was a witness for a friend of mine 6 years ago in Spokane. Kelly was as nice as pie. She made small talk, friendly and approved my friends disability on minimal grounds. Here I am...6 years later filing for my own disability and Kelly acts like money comes directly out of her pocket! Insulted me, belittled me, degraded me causing me MORE emotional harm. My service dog didn’t even like her!!! At all costs...request a different ALJ judge! The ***** himself giving me an enema with a hot poker would have gone better.

I thought he was kind, direct and to the point. I feel like I may not have provided all information to him that I wanted to. But overall I was content and don't honk someone else would have been better

Did an excellent job, I think he could tell I was nervous and was patient with me. He was very fair with the questions he asked and like I said patiently listened. Best advice is to be straight to the point and do not try to ramble on and on.

Decision was definitely made prior to my hearing as it was listed as made the day after my hearing. All medical evidence provided, without a doubt proved my claim. Vocational expert essentially said I was unemployable. Questioned notes in my medical records several times and twisted the answer around to make it seem I was a liar. Unfavorable decision listed a myriad of reasons for the denial including dates, physical statements, and other such information seemingly made up out of thin air. Causing intense friction between myself and medical providers as I believed what he said was true. Now I am an unemployed disabled mother without benefits or the ability to care for my child or take care of myself.

He was and ok Judge. It’s been 3 months and no decision yet. Very nerve wracking. Overall he was nice and let my attorney ask me questions.

Completely rude & denied my case because I was pregnant & refused mental health medications during what was already HIGH RISK PREGNANCY because I didn't want any medications harming my unborn.. But he didn't put that in his denial decision just that I refused to get the treatment at the time... NO STARS HE IS DOWNRIGHT DISRESPECTFUL & RUDE.

Respectful to claimant and representative. Allows for cross examination and commented on not leading the witness. Knows the file and refers to the evidence during hearing. Allows for opening and closing.
He is also a stickler for medical records. Expects the file to be complete. Especially, if you have been the rep for some time.

Judge, I am writing for a friend in Florida. Can you tell me why it has already been five months and this poor girl has no decision? I watched EMT's bring her back to life after a life threatening seizure. She can not be left unattended as she falls due to neuro issues and is becoming so depressed and withdrawn I dont even know if she will ever get back to herself again. I read the note above with the man living in a tent. Thats where she is headed. Is this seriously ethical? Your assistant told a US Congressman that a decision was made and would be mailed out last week and when her lawyer called to verify, she stated a decision was not made. This is uncalled for. What are the work hours being spent on??????

Do you ever believe what the claimants ever say? I know someone who is disabled and can't work and you said that her testimony was not credible. Yet you would probably approve a claim for some lazy person who just want to abuse the system. Or, maybe you're saving the government money for those illegal aliens who are getting amnesty from the President. What a waste of humanity. I would rate this judge with 0 stars.

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.

Bad Judge- seems nice on the surface but has now denied two legitimate claims of mine for no good reason, that no other rational judge would have denied. Be prepared even on strong claim for a denial- strongly recommend not doing a video hearing if you can avoid it because both denials were video hearings.

This judge was polite, engaging, inquistive and considerate in his vocal tone. His questions to the VE were given with consideration to the medical symptoms and medical documentation of abilities for a client to work or not to work. He was complete in asking questions of the medical symptoms and conditions. The prior work experience of what could be done and what can not be done based upon medical diagnosis and symptoms.Followed proper procedures with articulation of client's claim according to rules and regulations of Social Security guidelines. A very long and unpleasant experience for having to fight for a disability claim for benefits but feel more secure about the system's procedures after having this judge. All judges have a job to do but greatly appreciate having one that was professional and nice in this matter.

GODS HONEST TRUTH... I have a little bit of a strange story to tell... On july 6th of this year after waiting for 30 months to get there and alive... I was so certain my illness was going to kill me first... So yes family and friends knew it was one of my goals.. Sorry getting off the reson im writting this...my true reason is... This judged saw me for 20 mins or something close to that.. And 30 days from seeing that judge Benjamin.R.Mcmillion I was denied...I already felt that I wasnt gonna get approved....well strange thing I was petition court-ordered to be committed to the psychiatric hospital for exactly six days I'm not sure to what extremes for how much trouble I'm in I had exactly 7 days to be seen again at Catawba Behavioral Health mental place and even after that I have to keep up and notiss any and I was told not one doctors visit after that one... For the next 90 days... I didnt feel concred at all with that... I have always made sure I had a doctor of any kind to help me stay on some kind of medicine.... Bipolar disorder is no joke and on top of having also psychosis..... I dont know what went wrong in the past 6 or 7 years... It's become over powering.... To see things different about ur own self.. Finally accepting the voices that you have and had for years.... My doctor was trying to slow them down... And I felt very different and really alone... So she understood and reduced the medicine and they came back... They never caused me any harm... With all these things being scared of myself never knowing what episode will be my last... Scares me.. I know social security has there own system on how things work.. But if im asking because I feel its not easy to figure out if what I say is right... Or true I guess... I would like to ask for Judge Mcmillion to please open my case back up and review my doctors or allow me to have someone gelp me understand things this time... That judge had a very comforting smile and I know that because it was the very first day and I was afraid of seeing a judge of course being there on that day and my morning started off where I was even over an hour and a half late he's still allowed me that 2nd Chance
GODS HONEST TRUTH... I have a little bit of a strange story to tell... On july 6th of this year after waiting for 30 months to get there and alive... I was so certain my illness was going to kill me first... So yes family and friends knew it was one of my goals.. Sorry getting off the reson im writting this...my true reason is... This judged saw me for 20 mins or something close to that.. And 30 days from seeing that judge Benjamin.R.Mcmillion I was denied...I already felt that I wasnt gonna get approved....well strange thing I was petition court-ordered to be committed to the psychiatric hospital for exactly six days I'm not sure to what extremes for how much trouble I'm in I had exactly 7 days to be seen again at Catawba Behavioral Health mental place and even after that I have to keep up and notiss any and I was told not one doctors visit after that one... For the next 90 days... I didnt feel concred at all with that... I have always made sure I had a doctor of any kind to help me stay on some kind of medicine.... Bipolar disorder is no joke and on top of having also psychosis..... I dont know what went wrong in the past 6 or 7 years... It's become over powering.... To see things different about ur own self.. Finally accepting the voices that you have and had for years.... My doctor was trying to slow them down... And I felt very different and really alone... So she understood and reduced the medicine and they came back... They never caused me any harm... With all these things being scared of myself never knowing what episode will be my last... Scares me.. I know social security has there own system on how things work.. But if im asking because I feel its not easy to figure out if what I say is right... Or true I guess...

Judge Mcmillion was very kind and patient. He put me at ease right away and listened to my story. He payed attention to every detail of my situation and showed true empathy and respect. I couldn't have asked for a kinder Judge.

I had my hearing on February 17th for SSI in front of Judge Mcmillion. It is now been over 1 month and I have still not received a decision either way and as I'm sure all of you out there are very familiar with, this has been 4 LONG financially, emotionally, and psychologically traumatizing experience. While I was very scared and nervous judge McMillion was extremely easy to talk to, he asked fair questions and listened to not only my answers but my attorneys as well. I do feel that he was very fair and he made the hearing process far less intimidating and scary than I thought it would be. Can't rate him as far as his decision goes because I don't know what it is yet. I do know that by the time you have waited a minimum of 1 year and from the looks of it a maximum of maybe 6 or7 years, that once you get to the hearing stage you should receive your decision in a quick and timely manner, as there is nothing worse then waiting for a decision after you have already been waiting years to even get to this point. I'm quite sure they count on most of us to give up or drop this at some point in time due to the financial hardships and burdens it puts on the claimants because of the lengthy amount of wait time for a hearing. Filing for benefits has been the most frustrating, bureaucratic, time consuming, nerve wracking, financially draining thing I've ever gone through and that's saying something!! Best of luck to all of you who have filed and are awaiting decisions my heart goes out to you and I pray for favorable decisions. All in all I found judge McMillion to be compassionate, fair and very thorough.

Based off of my family's experience, this judge is biased and discriminatory. My family member who has been struggling for years with multiple different physical disabilities got rejected TWICE by this judge. The appeal council has even told him that he made a mistake the first time and he refused to make the right decision. He did not help us, he made us suffer even more.

ALJ Benjamin Mcmillion is a very smart man. I have been denied disability twice but thank God for Benjamin for making a wise decision on my claim.

This man may be a good man.. I can't say nothing bad about him cause he gave me and unfavorable decision.. but I do want to ask a question... how can one man look at so called paperwork and see a client for a few minutes and then make a decision that will affect the rest of their lives... I will pray for these people cause I see that they do have a hard job in front of them but it just awes me to see how the system is so messed up when some you know get approved and some have been fighting for years. so I guess I will wait and see what goes.. as for me GOD will provide and I pray he has his hand upon these men that makes decisions.. cause one day they will have to stand before someone mightier than then...

in my opendion this man is to young to be making decision that effect one person life that has live at least 15 years longer than he. he looks to be the type of judge that has a mind set before the hearing. in my case his major reason for turning me down was i had never worked and paid in taxes, which i have not paid in taxes because i worked in a family business from the age of 18 till 45 and then we went out of business. i did work but it was not consider work because i didn't pay in self employed taxes, because i never believe our business would close, i am now 51 and have to depend on other family members for support. he also stated that i could sometimes crawl, snoop and other things that were uncalled for. i hope he never has to live with the illnesses i live with and suffer like i. i'm glad he can live with making desisions that totally affect other peoples lives and that he prays every night for guidness and forgivness for hurting more than he helps. god bless him. one more thing i always though, ssi as for people that had not paid in enough taxes to get social security.

they all just think everone who applies for ssi/ssd is trying to get something for nothing. in some cases yea that may be true but theres alot of people who really cant work and deserve help. whats funny is seems like the people who really dont deserve always gets approved with no problem

In my case DLJ Jerry Meade erred no less than 23 times. He also commited two cases of reversable error in my case. When my legal counsel filed a notice of appeal and a lengthy legal brief, I began to notice that there were spy cars watching me. They would follow me to appointments with treating professionals. On one occasion they were going through my garbage and became agitated when confronted. They flashed an unusual badge. The US Marshall's office confirmed that they were FBI. I suppose that when the collage of mistakes made by ALJ Jerry Meade hit his superiors in Falls Church, VA he became upset. I have asked for the appeal to be dismissed. I hope that this will end the lengthy harrasment from the henchmen of ALJ JErry Meade.

This "Judge" was an inexperienced attorney in private practice and has no prior experience as a judge. Furthermore, he is very arrogant and only cares about getting the cases out the door!

I recently went before Judge Meade, Well actually it was video conference, And I recieved an unfavorable decision. The reason why is because he said I exaggerated about my disability which is Aspergers Syndrome a form of Autism. I didn't lie about anything I was under oath, Even if I hadn't of been under oath I wouldn't of lied. He also said that my therapist who helped me wasn't credible and that's not true. He also said I was obese and needed to lose weight, And i'm not. I've been to several law judges and I've never had any of them say such mean hurtful things to me and about me. I feel sorry for anyone who has to go in front of him.

I have to say when I read previous comments about Judge Meade it increased my anxiety before my hearing. I am a nurse of 30 years and was forced out of my profession due to my health issues. I had always been taught to make your own way in life and that no one owed you anything. This made it very hard for me to give in to my health issues and apply for disability. However, it got to the point where I no longer had a choice. Judge Meade made my experience with this humiliating process as easy as he could. He treated me with dignity and respect. I will forever be grateful to him and pray that God gives him the insight he needs to make these life altering decisions for others in the future.
