Judge Baird is terrific. He treats the claimants and their representatives with kindness and respect. He is obviously on the bench for all of the right reasons. He seems to genuinely want to help the claimants and arrive at the right decision in all of the cases that come before him.
Judge Baird, Is a down to earth, Administrative Judge. Couldn't have asked for a better Judge, Very respectful and listens to all evidence.It was a pleasure meeting him.Its hard to explain, If you have the opportunity to have him has your Judge for your hearing. Your in good hands.
Forgot to rate Judge Baird in my last comment. Judge Baird is a 5 Star Judge
This is a wonderful judge whom in my court hearing applied the law with the utmost professionalism and respect to my specific case. The ruling was accurate and judge Baird clearly took the time to review the case file as a whole. Judge Baird is not only a "we the people's" judge but a real person with talent enough to apply the law with the best interest to the American tax payers, not only protecting social security but also protecting the men and women who once paid into social security and are no longer able. A+++
Great judge. Very caring. Thankful I got him! What a blessing. Didnt dismiss my disabilities
Judge Curley conducts himself professionally. Unfortunately, I am one of those people that will fall through the cracks- denied SSDI but unemployable with my health conditions. Keep in mind that just because the vocational expert says no occupations fit your specific conditions and situation does not mean you will get approved.
I had a hearing before Judge Driscoll today. I found him to be fair and open-minded. He was very polite and respectful.
Judge Driscoll was thorough in his questioning and what I believe is apparent fairness as described by my husband. We are not sure it was approved yet and we will wait for his decision. My husband was very confused about himself yet the judge allowed my husband to try and compose himself many times during the hearing. No matter how the decision turns out my husband said the man was doing his job the best he can do. Our attorney said he believed the case was approved. We can only wait to find out if it actually was. God bless these judges that have to make these very difficult decisions regardless of how they rule.

I didn't have an attorney and being homeless I was nervous about my day in court for sure. However going before judge Driscoll made my nerves go away that day. He was polite and respectful. A true professional.
I found Judge Driscoll to be Fair, Respectful, Open-Minded & Engaging.
Judge Driscoll was very thorough, involved and extensive with his questions over our telephone hearing and was kind enough to allow me to calm down as i was flustered during the call. I know not my results yet, but i really appreciate how neutral and open he was. my anxiety was horrible but his neutrality and understanding while i was distressed was very kind.

It has been 6 years and 5 months since I filed for disability based on depression/anxiety/COPD. Judge Eklund was the person in charge of my hearing and decisions. To say I am disappointed in his interpretation of my case would be remiss. I'm still shocked that it took 3/4 of a decade to conclude and my only takeaway is that I am naïve in thinking the system fair. I knew I also took the risk of increasing my anxiety in the long haul and that has occurred swiftly. A remand to the VA. panel gave me hope because those occur in smaller percentages. Judge Eklund in court struck me as pleasant, thorough, and engaged in the process. In writing of the denial reports the first one included several incorrections that gave the connotation to actual issues. As example, the expert psychiatric witness report on my evaluation said I was of normal demeanor in person and omitted the breaking into tears portion when I was at a loss of words becoming emotional. The retention of short term memory was overlooked which is a credible hallmark of the anxiety at work in a learning or stress situation. The huge omission in the 2nd remand hearing was the complete disregard to my counselor of 5 years reporting the negative impact of employment stress. Yet high consideration was given to that 1 hour state psychiatrist shown above who misconstrued my demeanor as witnessed by my accompanying companion. This was followed by the conclusion of the hearing that I found very optimistic from the vocational expert. She stated in response to query that the small sector of jobs left when omitting physical demanding and environmental factored jobs that were options for me would not be stress free as recommended. The Judge did not include this experts opinion in the finding which was positive toward my case. He did not however factor into the last year where the Adminstration in VA. actually did not know I even appealed his findings.
Today is a “clear” day to write this. As baffled as I was regarding the questions Judge Eric Eklund asked during the hearing at times, I felt comfortable giving him my truthful answers and that they would be received that way. The process because of volume can become rote and assumptive and foster skepticism. We all hope that doesn’t apply to our case. Unknown to me at the time of the hearing but shortly thereafter, the records used for review and basis of the questions were incorrect. I had been counseled not to ask any questions or provide comment or clarification. Mistakes are made, it’s human. I can only judge my decisions. I realized that misunderstandings, misinformation that cascade and go unquestioned or are not clarified are aids in expediency for all but the claimant. Working for over 4 decades, gaining 6 figure salary, saving and having no debt, activities and ongoing learning and are rendered useless against a tick bite. I realized that being proactive and seeking treatment to understand and counteract the abrupt ending of one’s lifestyle are moot points. I learned that activities that are carried from record to record as the “baselines from onset of chronic lyme symptoms” that they really are versus the assumption taken of actual current activities, until the error is discovered by claimant after the hearing and are subsequently corrected and clarified by doctors are missed or not weighted. That 21 plus years employed in a field that necessitated 24 x 7 coverage and daily attendance is said to be able to be performed now even though the medical records and adult function reports consistently indicate the inability to know day to day if one is capable of functioning. Functioning at 40% a few days a week is interpreted as the ability to perform past prior work. That attempting to find or create some kind of work on the “good” days that will fit with the day to day abilities and disability, to spend savings and retirement to support oneself, looking for a cure for chronic lyme and fibromyalgia rather than drugs so that the claimant can as they really wish to, return to full time work and past activity level rather being disabled and doped are detriments not assets. That not knowing exact retirement age via SSA is perfectly understandable to those who want to “retire” only when they are dead but becomes astounding to others. That having a member of the court who has known the claimant for decades and spoke to the drastic change since the tick bites in claimant is not weighted or regarded. This claimant did not wish, plan or hope to be disabled by multiple tick bites. This claimant had a lot of plans for the future that will not be realized. This claimant worked and saved rather than spend. This claimant paid taxes and insurance for over 4 decades and is being denied benefits. Since this is a “good” day, I am clear in being completely baffled and disappointed and depressed over the decision. I’m human. Everyone makes mistakes. My mistake was trust in truth. My peace is integrity.
Judge French denied my case a few months back, and know I find out I need surgery. I don't know if I should cry or laugh.
Judge French was surprisingly nice. She is hard but she also seems to care. She made me feel comfortable while I was there and even left the hearing to get me some water. She apologized to me for how long it took to schedule the hearing and I think she was sincere. Even though I was not approved I think she is a good person and is just following the strict guidelines that are given to her. I don't blame her I blame all the scumbags that take advantage of the system. They are the ones that ruined it for the rest of us who really needed this. They are the reason for the strict guidelines.
Patricia was an easy person to talk to. She apologized for being behind, and really seemed to listen without judgment. I had my hearing on Oct 12th. I think she is a great judge. :) Made me feel a lot better than the last time I went in for a hearing with another judge. She is a nice person.
Highly еnergetic bⅼoɡ, I enjoyed that bіt. Will there be a part 2?

I just want to take the time & thank Miss Judge Tanya Garrian for taking the time to view my case & hear me out, Also understanding me when I was very nervous & scared at my hearing. Without your help I wouldn't be moving forward with my life with the help that I been needing for years, You have made a big change in my life & for that I thank you !!! Much love to you Miss Garrian. ❤
Thank you so much for hearing me and my life been better since receiving my Ssdi god bless took me while to write review for u but well deserved ❤️ God bless
A judge that carefully looks at the medical and cognitive records. If any are missing, she will find it. My mother has been very ill for ten years, but was denied even at an ALG hearing. I just would like to sincerely Thank you for being a righteous judge who weighs in past and present evidence and will go even beyond that! Keep up the great work fighting for those who truly are disabled!

I've had debilitating major depression disorder for many years, I was told at my hearing nov 2015 I would have a answer by 30 to 60 days. I explained I'm homeless, have been searching for a couch almost every night. I am clean and sober for 3 and a half years and have still been optimistic that the judge would understand under such dress I am grateful for my clean time, and proud. He did make a comment that "the state doesn't reward drug addiction" I again agreed that was fine and again, said I was clean and sober. It's very easy to right off a CLEAN addict.. I thought the comment was continued to answer all the answers In a truthful manner, I thought I was well put together for no representation. I am still couch hoping and just had a hysterectomy, I am currently recouping at my abusive xhusband, and have major depression and anxiety all day,do the want to upset him. Sat night I said something and was Pushed and screamed at while his spit hit my face, his fingernail cut into my cheek. He proceeded to scream I am a ĺooser, who doesn't want to work. Told me to "get the expletives out" I moved the few things from the house ripping my stitches, and was told to stop being dramatic. This is just a sample of what I've had to endure waiting for a judge to set me free from this hell..as of today, I was denied after explaining my once a week inquiry, that I had to explain again, my dire situation, and my depression was at its worst and really needed a reply..finally 4 mo later, today was told I'm denied. I would never wish anyone the personal hell of panic attacos at any moment,and the depression that keeps me up for days and non able to work. I don't know what is next. I'm feeling hopeless and wish I had a judge that cares about people. I wish I was not around to feel the latest hit..thank you for not having a pulse to the sickness of major depressive disorder. I'm beyond crushed at my one light of help is written off as not his problem.
It took Judge Goodale eight months to render my decision. Even though I have two conditions on the disability list that should have been favorable (Lupus and Lumbar Stenosis)- Not to mention I applied when I had cervical stenosis which ended up in emergency surgery and over a year to recover. The surgery left with loss of mobility in my neck...nerve damage in my hands, feet, chest and neck. I have extreme trouble walking, standing and sitting. I worked my whole life and every weeks the system took money from my pay and sent me notices stating if I ever became disabled this money taken out of my pay - well this was the reason. They don't tell you how you have to fight for it- or they twist things to make it work in the state's favor. I am not any never have been addicted to drugs, I am just shy of 50 years old, I speak English and I have worked very hard to put myself through a few college classes....These things worked against me. What a twisted system. I am disappointed and disgusted by Judge Paul Goodale who failed a human being in need- One who has done nothing but the right things in life- Perhaps, if the judge spent one day in my shoes or was inside my head to know the despair... his decision would not be the injustice he served.
HAD HIS DECISION MADE AGAINST ME BEFORE WE FINISHED HEARING, ARROGANT AND MAKES DECISION WITHOUT TWO YEARS OF MEDICAL SCREENING UP TO APPEARANCE BEFORE HIM, RATHER THAN REMANDING FOR FURTHER MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS WHERE CLAIMANTS HAVE NO MEDICAL INSURANCE OR FINANCIAL STABILITY TO SEE ANY MEDICAL DOCTORS AND REJECTS FAMILY PHYSICIAN REPORTS FROM DECADES OF BEING THE TREATING PHYSICIAN.

Completely disregards the concept that the hearing is the claimant's opportunity for a fair and impartial hearing. Selects certain non-favorable evidence to base his decision on and disregards the remaining record. Attempts to embarrass reps and claimants. Should be reported to chief ALJ.

The social security and job compensation Judge's don't treat Black people fair. After waiting for two years to be seen, I was told that if I didn't sign a piece of paper saying I'm waiving my SSD benefits, if not I'll have to wait for another court date. He basically threatened me, knowing that I person who have a waited over two years and now if I say I don't want it, I can received my award soon. But when my white friends applied, they got SSI and SSD, if you look my race, how each person was awarded, YOU WILL FIND DISCREPANCY AND UNFAIRNESS!

Although this particular judge heard me out and asked really good questions and made me feel very comfortable, at the same time he looked as though he was just speeding through my case. I had 12 years of paper work proving my case from a few doctors, amazing letters from my therapist and psychiatrist, DSS records and school records riddled with abuse- denied. The part I think that made it even more obvious that this judge WRONGFULLY denied me was that my particular disability that I have documentation of, 12-13 years of proof, and present day as well, I was actually a SSDI RECIPIENT FOR 4 YEARS FROM 14-18yrs old!!!!!! I only stopped recieving because of my disability, I was homeless and jobless and didnt keep my review appointment with the psychiatrist, who left 5 minutes early I later found out!!!! COMPLETE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE AND PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO HAVE PAID INTO THESE BENEFITS ARE OUT HERE SUFFERING.

I just got home from my hearing. I wasn't denied and I didn't get a bench decision but I found the judge to be very fair and thorough. He asked the important questions and did his due diligence in finding the facts out. It lasted about an hour. I was with my attorney. She hit it out of the park. The vocational expert had his questions and a few jobs that I could do in his opinion. It's just the process. Either way, approval or denial, I was satisfied. I can always appeal. My case was strong and had years of documented surgery and Doctors opinions that favored me getting SSI. Nothing in this world is guaranteed. You have to work on it and get an attorney and cough up a couple grand of your money. It's not the judge, it's you. If you were denied you're case wasn't strong. Point blank.

The person above me is being unfair, you were denied plain and simple because you missed your appointment, this judge doesn't approve of that type of behavior. I was told from the beginning that if I missed any appointments that he would dismiss my case. He is the head judge, a very fair man who made me feel comfortable. I received a favorable decision with a different onset date, but he really helped my case and would have received it from the onset date if I had sent him the proper paperwork, it was an oversight on my part, I cannot blame Judge Ramsey. I thank him and I know he has a low rating as far as approvals go, but he sort of sees right through the bologna. You can always appeal your decision from him. I'm very satisfied with his decision and thank him for making me feel comfortable in his courtroom and being a very decent human being as well as his staff. My suggestion would be, be prepared, don't be dishonest and have medical documentations to back up your claims. He wants to see that you are following through with your treatment, otherwise he has to follow the law. Would I have liked a fully favorable decision, of course, but why would I begrudge a man doing his job because of my errors?

This judge didn't even look at all my medical I could barely walk and still denied me....HORRIBLE

Had my hear with this judge, in july 2014 i went for a closed period, he ask me a few questions, i answered honestly i was disabled for the period of time i was asking for and he gave me a ruling on the bench. He did his job end of story. Thank god i am able to work again, granted i cant do what i did before but i want to work so i will find something to fit my abilities.
I wanted to say i had my heaing held on dec 2 2015 in front alj william ramsey i was extremely nervous he made things so much easier for me very kind and very understanding someone who understands what i was going through and feb 22 2016 i recieved my fully favorable decision i just want to thank william ramsey for his time and understanding win or lose hw['s great at what he does ty william ramsey for everything
Today, I met with ALJ Ramsey, he was polite, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable. I totally broke down talking about all the past and on going medical issues. He was completely kind and offered tissues. The Voc Exp could not find one job I could do at this time. He made no decision at the bench. I will find out in writing, some time from now. Either way, Ramsey is stern but fair, cares but doesn't want to be fooled. He will ask questions. He will listen. I liked him, he was a no nonsense type of guy. My suggestion is, you be on point with him and he will give you all the respect you deserve.
I had my hearing this morning. I was extremely nervous and have no idea what the outcome will be. I felt it was important to review Judge Ramsey as he had been respectful, professional and fair. Whatever the outcome, I felt my hearing was fair and I felt like I had been heard. My only regret was not relaying my final words- I clammed up. I am not the best at articulating vocally. I wished I had ended on “Sometimes people just need some help getting through struggles and recovery- hoping that recovery will take place and I can re enter the workplace with a new start.” At the end of the day... I feel relieved to have had my story told.
On December 17, I had a hearing with Judge Ramsey and I was scared and nervous but he put me at ease. He listens and he allows you to tell him your case with respect. I was shocked at how much knowledge he had regarding my disability and that let me know that he understands not only the legal aspect but also the medical. Yes, I lost it and looked a total mess but I felt safe to put my guard down. There was hope. He heard my struggle and I am forever grateful.
5 Doctors in medical records said due to my spinal injury I could not due any substantial work, and one Doctor said i was unfit for any type of work. " Judge" Sharrard ruled UNFAVORABLE against me, stated that i could perform as a laundry mat assistant. I worked several years as a High skilled Welder & Fabricator...thanks for denying my disability that is all i had. My unemployment ran out because NO ONE WOULD HIRE ME due to my MEDICAL condition, this includes Laundry mats. What a joke our system is that allows someone to deny your ENTITLEMENT that i paid into for 31 years. Now i will have to apply for government assistance to feed my family, and i am now a tax burden instead of a consumer, thanks for treating me like a 16 year old kid. yes its being appealed by a new more competent attorney, that said he couldn't believe i didn't receive my disability with all my medical records, and the Attorney said these judges deny cases to help their career. Hope you sleep well at night ruining peoples lives !@

You denied me knowing i am disabled, 4 Doctors said i was, and I can't drive but a little. Now i will file Bankruptcy and apply for Government assistance. I was a 30 year worker and was injured on the job. Haven't worked in 4 years. My family thanks you for your compassion. hope you get your promotion for another denial !

Judge Sharrard has that certain judicial je ne sais quoi that enables her to efficiently preside over hearings, bringing her to the best conclusion in the case. She is firm, but very nice, even though she doesn't pay everybody.

I have not been able to work in 4 years since a spinal cord injury, Several doctors ( surgeons ) stated i was unable to work due to my severe medical condition. I met & exceeded all requirements for disability that i have paid into for 30 years. Judge Sharrard ruled against me giving me an unfavorable decision, saying i could perform as a " Cashier" most days i do not leave my home due to my inability to drive. This judge and others care nothing about the facts or the people. I hope someone actually reads this and gets something out of this. If you are assigned this judge to hear your case i would recommend someone else due to her record of ruling against people, she must be looking for a promotion I speculate that is the way to move up denying cases no matter the facts. Arrogant judges ! hope they get to answer someday for their actions !!!

Had my hearing from Judge Sharrard, yes i received an unfavorable( no disability ) 3 years of doctors, rehab, and unable to drive. 4 Doctors said i would be unable to perform an substantial work due to my PERMANENT damage to my spinal cord. After 31 years working as a skilled laborer, this is what you get. Judge Sharrard had no intention of awarding what i was intitled to no matter what the facts. Guess she had a quota for the day. Is their any one that oversees theses arrogant Judges. Now i will apply for welfare, link card and all the rest. I will now cost more than if she would have done the right thing and awarded what should have been given to me. THANKS FOR NOTHING !

Does anyone check the facts in a case, this judge ignored medical depositions given by 4 Surgeons saying my medical condition prevented me from being employed, however Judge Sharrard felt different about it. She decided i could work, not the Doctors. Yes an unfavorable decision after 30 years working. 4 months later still can't work, 4 years after my injury still not working. I will apply for welfare because of her denying my benefit, does anyone ever read this or care. hope someday she will suffer as i have

I am a representative and have had 3 hearings with ALJ Sharrard. She is younger, has a very pleasant personality and is very well prepared and familiar with the file before a hearing. She will ask for an opening statement and will thoroughly question the claimant on background, past work, impairments and reasons why they person feels they cannot work. She will expect explanations of drug use, alcohol use, or criminal activity as well as any income after onset. She typically gives the VE a hypo based on sedentary or light activity and then will ask what effect being off task for 10% of the time would have on ability to hold a job. Her award rate is clearly on the conservative side. I get the impression that credibility weighs heavily in her decisions. She does a thorough job and treats everyone involved with respect and dignity.

I had Anne Sharrard for my SSDI Hearing in April 2013. Her decision was "Full Favorable". So of coarse you're gonna hear nothing but positive comments from me about this Wonderfully Fair and Understanding Judge. Thank You Anne. You saved my life.
Judge ANNE SHARRARD obviously is not only well paid between the secret handshakes and the money she gets paid in salary, but she must also be smarter then all my Drs. I know she does not have very good eyesight because when she denied me she said that I had no problem sitting through the entire hearing even though my neck pain was so severe that I stood the last 25 minutes. My new Lawyer says that video hearings on average only get ok'd 5 % something my Lawyer that was unprepared for the hearing did not tell me. She referred to my right shoulder as supposed shoulder pain but when my orthopedic surgeon gave me steroids and pain killers and has told me that I need a shoulder replacement I guess he never spoke with Anne so he could learn that the severe arthritis that prevents me from even raising my arm is just a figment of his imagination. She is a Liar and probably had the TV or was looking out the window during my hearing. While I suffer from severe arthritis in my ankles, knees( had a knee replacement in my right knee which she also referred to as supposed knee pain gout , severe neck pain, sever arthritis in my shoulder and a bad back Anne Sharrard is allowed to walk this earth free women.
I would say the one thing that I took from my hearing the Honorable Judge Anne Sharrard was her lack of attention to what she was seeing. The reason I say that is in her denial report she states that even though I talked about having problems with sitting or standing for long period of time because of my neck fusion surgery and my severe arhritis in my knees and shoulders she stqates I had no problem sitting through the entire hearing even though I stood up for the last 25 minutes because of the pain I was in. This also leads into her total disregard for my shoulder pain and my knee pain which she blew off as assumed pain. I had just had a total right knee replacement 2 months before the hearing and the assumed shoulder pain has led to what my ortho dr called the worst arthritic shoulder he had ever seen and that led to a total shoulder replacement of my right shoulder. I am still looking a a Left knee replacement as soon as I can get my shoulders back to where I have enough strength and endure the pain that it will take to brace myself after the knee is done. Nice Call Judge. Stick to what you do best. Fabricating the facts and leave the medical expertise to where it belongs the Drs that know what they are actually talking about. You ruined my life and stole years from me that I entend to fight to make sure that you don't get away with
Warning!!! If you are disabled and you are chosen to be seen by The Honorable Anne Sharrard ,and belive me when I say I use the word Honorable very loosly when describing this Disability Judge, I would suggest very strongly that you refuse to be seen by her and ask to be seen by another Judge. There are so many Lies and embellishments when it comes to the truth in her denial report against me no one stands a chance against this Judge. I don't believe that she has any sympathy but to the all mighty dollar and probaly gets bonuses on the amount of Cases she denies. In myu opinion she should be disbarred and should be in prison
This judge is very fair and through. A lot of people don't seem to understand the key to being disabled. The government aka judges look very closely at what you are claiming makes you disabled and if your claim doesn't fall under certain categories that the government has outlined, you will not qualify. Remember, although judges are just that...Judges, they follow the guidelines outlined by the Social Security Administration and interpret these guidelines towards a person's claim. Judge Sharrard is by no means biased. She handles each claim with precision, detail and professionalism.
Judge Anne Sharrad is very Lucky to have a friend in George Michaels but speaking as someone who spends 24 hrs in pain and suffers in poverty because I can't function in the work place I have to take great exception to what Mr. Michaels has written. Judge Sharrard dis-regarded everything that was in any of my Dr's reports. She has quotes from supposed conversations that I was to have had with Dr's that never even took place. I think the legal term for that is Fabricating the facts. She brings in a faceless employment specialist, that I can only hear during the video hearing, which names 5 jobs that to her knowledge were so plentiful she gave a 10000 figure of the number of jobs available. My Lawyer and I looked at each other because we could not even figure out what these jobs were. One was a clothes hanger. I got home after my hearing and used 5 different search engines so I could even get an idea of what these jobs were and only one of the 5 jobs even came up and it was not even what she had named. It was for Nannys. I am a 51 year old with severe depression, gout, a knee replacement and total shoulder replacement and looking at another knee and possible shoulder replacement not to mention arthritis all over my body. In my opinion if you find yourself in front of this judge you better be a very good con or be in such a bad state that even she could not deny you. She looks to deny and that is why her denial percentage is the highest you will find. I was told by a Lawyer that only 5% of Video hearings ever get approved. He told me that in a video hearing you don't know if the Judge is even paying attention. She could be watching TV, doing a crossword or just looking out the Window. When a Judge mentions in her report that I was sitting comfortably through the entire hearing when I stood up 25 of the 30 minutes I have to question just how much she was paying attention. What really gets me is that I appealed to the appeals council and they refused to even look at her decision. But yet the same Social Secuity system that denied me and has left me in poverty paid out over 8 billion dollars in fraudelent claims. Included in these claims were people that were deceased and people with perfectly good jobs. This system is broken and these Judges should have to answer for everything that is in their report and if they don't have anything to hide and are confident in their decision then why don't they offer that opportunity to myself and everyone else. Thats my take on this Judge
Judge was very compassionate,friendly, and considerate to my condition at hearing.Although I have not received my decision yet I have Faith in God that if it is His will everything will work out for the best for My family.And I believe that Judge was thorough and attentive as I was trying to describe how my conditions have affected not only myself but my family as well..
I thought this was a public forum where people screwed over by the system and this Judge in particular could have atleast somewhere to voice not only their frustration with this Judge but with the system as a whole. When Social security can pay out 8 Billion dollars in Fraudulent Claims to including Firefighters and Law Enforcement officers it leaves me to believe that in the Legal system there is a double standard. I voice my opinion and I have Deputy Sheriffs knocking on my door and Homeland Security on the Phone. When a Judge fills a REPORT FULL OF lIES to justify a denial the legal system looks the other way. I actually, at one time believed that you could count on the Law being there for you. I now know that the Law is more currupt then it has ever been. I sit here in pain 24 hrs a day and live in poverty while the lEGAL SYSTEM REFUSES to hold Disability Judges or any Judges accountable. My only avenue is to file a Lawsuit against the system who has destroyed me. Do I think I can win. Like I said before the system is currupt and honesty in the Legal system doesn't exist anymore.
First of all I feel blessed to have a sight like this where I can voice my concerns regarding the system but especially regarding this Judge. I am building what I believe to be a Criminal case against this Judge for mis-representing the facts in her denial letter to me. I don't believe that she ,not only looked at the all the information that she was presented, but I believe that she made a rush to judgement when it came to my case. I recently read a report that stated that the average case should take a judge 7 to 7 and a half hrs to go over the facts and render judgement. That same report has Judges on average taking 2 to 2 and a half hrs per case before rendering judgement. This Judge has me sitting comfortably during the entire hearing even though she said that he supposedly could not sit for long periods of time. That statement was made in her report even though I stood up for 30 of 35 minutes because the pain in my neck was so severe. She states that I worked light duty lifting up to 50 lbs when my light consisted of riding in a minni-van that I could barely even get in and out of and never leaving my seat until being dropped off any where from 2-4 hrs a day. she blows off my knee pain, shoulder pain and severe depression. I have had a total right knee replacement,a total right shoulder replacement, am going to have my left knee replaced in Feb and am looking at possibly having my left shoulder replaced on down the rode. My Orthopedic Surgean is a very good one told me that my right shoulder was the worst he had ever worked on and my left knee is the worst he has ever seen. This Judge used the words assumed pain to describe what I was going through. These are just a few of the disabilities I am dealing with. I have contacted the appeals council and the office of Disability and Adjudication and review asking for the information that was used by this Judge to render a decision and was told that I should have received all the information along with a CD of which I did not. I was not even given the option of a face to face hearing and my Lawyer showed up at my last hearing 6-8 months behind on myu medical records. During the hearing the Judge gave my Lawyer 2 weeks to get the up to date records to her and to this date I have no idea whether my Lawyer did that or whether the Judge even considered waiting on those records. I want the truth, the records and anything and everything that I can get my hands on to get Justice in my case. Thanks for allowing me to voice my opinions on this site
I hope that everyone that has had the ability to make it to this site has taken my advice and at all cost asked to be seen by another Judge that will take your case seriously and not try and play judge with made up information. I , as I posted before plan on filing legal charges in an attempt to save everyone with disabilities of ever being railroaded by a judge like this. I have read and re-read her denial against me which includes 50 paragraphs and of those 50 paragraphs I can poke multiple holes in every single one of them. There are left out reports that were very significant to my case and health and made up accounts from a sub-par Clinic Dr that I did not choose but if you read her report you would think she was my primary Dr. She gives more time to Dr's That I saw 2x and another for 10 minutes over my orthopedic Surgeon that was taking care of me for well over 6 months. It is very obvious to me that this Judge omits any and all evidence that benefits the person filing for disability that is crucial to his case and if she has to will make up or put words in the persons mouth to make him look bad and further her case for denial. I don't know how huge the bonus is that they receive per denial but as hard as she seems tOo work at it I am sure it is pretty substantial . Please beware of this Judge. One more thing. I was denied my rights to a face to face hearing please don't let that happen to you
I have written several times before trying to explain my story and what I have been through and to warn anyone going before this Judge. I have explained that she will Lie to Deny and fails to review the evidence in order to give any and all people with disabilities a chance. She is Heartless, unfeeling and just a Liar as I have said before. She doesn't have the confidence in her decision against me to face me and explain why I was denied because she knows she would not have a leg to stand on and would be at a loss to explain most of her report or why she never released the information used to make her decision. Instead she would rather steal tax payers money and refuse to give people that come before her a fair and impartial hearing. She is a huge part of what is wrong with the System. She will have to answer on Judgement day for her actions but that doesn't help me or anyone that has the misfortune of being railroaded by this Judge when all we wanted was fairness.
This Thanksgiving was just another day to me. When you have your entire future ripped apart by a corrupt judge like Anne Sharrard finding anything to be thankful for or the money to afford the food to fix is extremely hard. My hatred for this women is very very strong and my frustration with this system keeps me from being able to function even though it has been over 8 years since the date of my disability. I see a psyche therapist and have for going on 5 years along with a Psychiatrist who both have tried to convince me to let this go but they don't understand what it is like to have 100,000 dollars in back pay along with your hopes and dreams destroyed by someone who makes more in bribes then what SSi allows me to have in a year. Not to mention the 165,000+ she takes from the tax payers in the form of salary. Justice is all I ever wanted but as of right now I can't even get this Judge to turn over the documents that she used to make her decision. If I was in a position of Authority and someone working for me did not want to turn over information that they used to make a decision then I would have to assume that she was hiding something. That and the fact I have read her denial report over and over again and 95% or her report is nothing more then made up fiction used to deny me. That is what anyone who goes before this judge had better prepare for.
I am so frustrated that this Judge is not behind bars but in the Social Security disability system Lying to deny is referred to as business as usual. That is why I am in the process of trying to raise funds to develop the ultimate website that will call out the injustices, the secret handshakes and hopefully of ridding the system of criminals like Judge Anne Sharrard. I have spoken before about Lying under oath if you are a witness on trial. You would be charged with perjury. But yet when a Judge Lies in her report to deny you with false accounts of what actually your treatment is doing to help you well that is just considered business as usual. Judges lie Anne Sharrard is why the Social Security system is so Corrupt. I would love to know how, a system that is obviously so broken with so many sinister people running the show, can approve over 17.2 billion dollars in fraudulent claims. Now they think the easiest way to correct their mistakes is to LIE TO DENY innocent people just looking to try to find something to give them some hope and some needed income to give them some type of a future. Every time I push or pull anything with my shoulders they feel like they are collapsing. That makes it very difficult when you need a cane to keep from falling but you have nothing solid to help you brace your fall if you do loose your balance. This Judge says that my two knee replacements and right shoulder reconstruction was because my Dr. was bored. That is the impression you have to come away with since in my denial report she blows my knee and shoulder pain off as nothing worth noting. It is these comments and so many more that leave me wanting to establish a website where you can post your denial report for all to see and explain in as much detail as possible the inaccuracies that stream from the pages. Give everyone a chance to witness with there own eyes the corruption that these judges hold in their hands with the stroke of the keys of their computer
I as you know if you have been on this site am someone that was screwed out of my disability by a Judge who abused her power to destroy my life. I will never be able to recover from this and I am extremely disappointed in the System of Justice , of which we as Americans are lead to be believe , Is a system of fairness and truth. Not the case for me as 95% of what this Judge(Anne Sharrard) typed in her decision is fabricated. She omitted all the mental diagnosis and a huge majority of the pain and physical liabilities and instead decided that she would make up fake jobs that were out there and LIE ABOUT SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT NEVER TOOK PLACE. My entire work history wiped out because my life did not matter and the rest of my life snuffed out in the process. Needless to say I have lost faith in the Justice system and obviously for good reason. Please if you are given an option of not having to be seen or should I say destroyed by this Judge do so. You won't find another Disability Judge who cares less about getting the decision right.
This Tim guy obviously has a severe mental problem and can not accept reality. I got approved because my condition is deemed to be disabling and therefore with proper records, and great counsel, my case was decided within 4 months post hearing. Thank you Judge Sharrard. Tim Wells, I don't mean to be mean but no one cares any longer because it's obvious you need psychiatric help. Get some help and stop posting redundant comments about this judge. There is nothing you can do about it and she will continue to do her job while you continue to mentally suffer. Move on. Get over it. Nothing is going to change whether you complain 10 times or 1000 times.
Commenting on this Dennis whoever's comments I would like to say you have a big mouth and have nothing to say that has any substance. You have no information regarding what is in my denial letter so you have no idea that 95% of what was in this letter was fabricated. It pisses me off when someone tries to make comments with no facts. You are right I have been diagnosed with severe depression and high anxiety. I see a psychiatrist and psyche therapist regularly and the fact that you would make such ignorant comments toward just one of conditions shows just how insensitive you are as a human being. Maybe you can leave your last name so I can know exactly who you are. I will never stop writing on here because I am hoping that someone in the justice system with half a brain will see it. I hate this Judge, she destroyed my life with nothing but Lies. I am extremely pissed that this freak would make fun of my condition please leave your last name. UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE THAT YOU OWN THIS WEBSITE KEEP YOUR FILTHY MOUTH SHUT DENNIS AND GO CRAWL INTO THE WHOLE YOU CAME OUT OF This Judge has committed a crime and until she is convicted I will always show up to this site. It would Probably be smarter to start a blog and start writing letters to the Justice department
She acts fake "nice" at the hearing and then doesnt approve your case. And the medical evidence in my case was very strong
I have noticed that a a few of my posts regarding this JUDGE have been approved and then disappeared without notice. That leads me to believe that what I have written , not only hit a nerve, but what I have written about her is very much true. I agree with the last short and too the point posting. She does give you a very fake smile and I will go it even further and say that she is fake in every way. She is a fraud and has zero knowledge of medical conditions and their affect on someone in everyday life. That in itself should eliminate her from determining the severity of anyone's disability. I have said it before in other posts that she is what is wrong with social security disability and why it is so corrupt. SHE DESTROYED MY LIFE and took my last hope of a functional life away from me. The fact that she refused to send me a copy of the medical records used to determine my case tells me that she never looked at the records in the first place which is probably why 95% of what was in her report was fictitious.
I just received a response to my Appeal Hearing that I have been waiting on for 5 months. I was denied after waiting 2 1/2 years for an appeal hearing. I now have the option of appealing again or a new application catch 22. ****** if you do ****** if you don't. In brief basically she stated she doubted my statements, the statements from the Doctor that Social Security sent me to 3 years ago were of little weight (because I said he did not do a range of motion exam & he wrote a fake report,twice ). I advised that they had sent me to the same quack Doctor twice and she stated that it was not in her file. 19 pages of ******** response . She made a point of noting that I was able to take the bus to the hearing, left out that it took me 2 1/2 hours & 3 buses and metro train to get to the hearing from Maryland to the District of Columbia. So what ! How was I suppose to get to there without a car? I thought Adminstrative Law Judges were suppose to be neutral . Exhibits were noted in the complaint but no exhibits attached. She also screamed at me twice during the hearing 1) I corrected her on where I had been employed. 2) When she did not know what Kaiser Permamente was & I was explaining. She also diagnosed my past workers comp permanent partial disability Carpal Tunnel injury as non existent because I had not complained or had any treatment since the settlement for Worker's Comp 11 years ago. She diagnosed my Anxiety disorder as basically non-existing because I did not seek professional treatment nor did I take the prescribed medicine (Zoloft). Many of her statements are incorrect and I do not want her decision entered in my files. She is Judge and Medical Professional I guess. I think a diagnosis is out of her scope of profession. If Social Security did not send me to have the issues examined ,she could have easily asked that I go to have a test for Carpal Tunnel and have an evaluation for Anxiety Disorder before ruling her decision . Well probably not because they send you for Doctors for consultative exams when the Doctor's do not have the expertise for your medical condition. I previously received copies of the Doctor's invoice that I was sent to. He receives a small flat fee of around $130.00. I do not agree with Judge Anne Sharrad's decision and will file for a review with the Appeals Council.
She is the worst disability judge you could ever hope to go before. I had several Dr.'s who were amazed and perplexed that I was denied. A couple thought I was joking with them. I did let everyone of them see the denial letter and they were appalled at all the assumptions she made and how many untruths that she had written in the letter. Bottom line. When you go before this judge you better hope that you are one of the lucky few that she decided to approve. In my hearing she did not seem to even be paying attention to my Lawyer or Myself and appeared to either be watching television or looking out a window. Towards the end of my hearing she brings on a faceless employment specialist who mentioned 6 jobs that she said was in range with what I would be able to handle. She mentioned all were 700-10,000 openings in my area. When I returned home ,still frustrated by her lack of attention, to what my Lawyer or myself had to say I googled the jobs that were supposedly so plentiful in my area. Funny thing is not only were they not plentiful they never existed in the first place. How can a judge use non-existent employment against a disabled person and not be held accountable is perplexing and really shows just how Corrupt the system is. When I was denied my life ended and my hope ended now I just exist. I have repeatedly asked for all reports and information that this judged used to make her decision but going on 8 years and accounting I am still waiting for that information that I was entitled to have.

I had two hearings w/ this judge. She is rather pleasant. However, she knows the file very well. She will press on issues regarding drugs, alcohol and any other negative issues. She will question any discrepancies in the record. She will ask for an opening statement. In one hearing, she immediately, after my opening, made clear that she was not going to approve the case if alcohol or drugs was an issue (mental impairments). However, that being said, she gave the claimant the opportunity to testify without interruptions. But again... brought up ALL negative issues in the record.
