To whom it may concern. Judge Allen This judge isn't a finder of fact but rules to cause the greatest of harm. Unfortunately weather jaded or indifferent to those who suffer with disabilities. To those in the greatness need. If her records were looked over what would be found is persons with very long work histories and overwhelming medical evidence. This will not deter this judge. Judge Allen thinks her job is to decide who's worthy acording to biases or a missed placed empathy. I have total respect for the law but only if practiced within its guidelines. Judge Allen failed miserably. Judge Allens job was too make every effort to find in a claimants favor. Not an adversary to their claim Or opposed to fact. The first thing you need to be able to get ssdi is enough credits. Then theirs no more weight given in this fact work history how many credits as far as for credibility. Theirs no reasoning to fail to put great weight on work history. If a claimant has a long work history one think is sure theirs the ones most likely to return to work if possible. Temporary disability Judge Allens judgement on medical evidence with the help of bias medical staff reports. Judge Allen Wields this weapon on deserving claimants. She made zero effort to bring in outstanding medical evidence not to cloud her bias judgement. If you find yourself in front of judge Allen All you can do is hope you fit judge Allens bias of little real need.

just saw him yesterday, and very nice and listened to me. i had a lot more things i wanted to say, but when you're there, it's a different situation and you forget some stuff. However, my attorney said not to ramble on, and i would tend to do that, so i just spoke how my condition affects me. So, hopefully it will be enough.

This judge does not know what he is doing he does not read the medical records accurately at all. he is horrible. he will take one medical record and run with it. I have lupus and he does not know how to read ANA correctly. He does not know what the term false positive means at all. I have migraines he referred to them as headaches. He went as far to try and overrrule a previous disabbility judge that i had that ruled I was disabled. How tacky. This Judge is way off base..

This judge I believe should not be a judge He needs his head examined. I had a disability case pending for 7 years. He gave me a unfavorable decision. He blatanly ignored 5,000 pages of medical records. Just ignored every one of them. Then he had the nerve to put something in my paper about my spouse and I have intercourse. WHAT a ****. Who does that. Hes a *******. I filed an appeal at the federal level and got it reversed. So dont give up. HE'S a *****. fight for your disability. he should be sued. ***** with a capital L I would give hime a minus 10 if I could

I personally feel that he isn't any different than the other judges except for the fact that he was polite with me. He only looked at what the social security doctors said about my disabilities and nothing about what my doctors said. Social Security does not look at anything that chiropractors say. I had 10 things wrong with me. I have osteoarthritis in my hip, neck and lower back. I am over 50 years old, yet I was denied.

3/19/19 was my hearing for ssi and ssdi, I was awarded full benefits before I left the room. All I did was tell the truth and let my medical records speak for me.Judge Bedwell is very understanding of his job and seems to be a down to earth person.

All of the information in his "report" is contradictory. I will never understand how Social Security "experts" know more about my mental state than my own doctors. Basically calling all of them and myself liars. So Judge Patrick Berigan, ever wonder how many people have killed themselves based off of your decisions? Well, you can now add one more. I hope your cushy job never fails you, or you might end up like me. Jackass.

eric borda is a racist! He sent my mother to 2 exams and both said she needed help medically, that it was extreme. He/she whatever he is sent her a denial letter. God has favored her, so this fake crooked being decision doesn't matter. I hope you do read this page. YOU denied my mother because she was black, did not have a lawyer, and did not want to pay her the back pay. That's why she didn't get a lawyer because you thought she was going to split the cost with your redneck friends. GO BACK TO JERSEY FAGOT! You are not gonna pull that crap off down here in the south. You knew my mother case was strong. You denied her because she was a BLACK, AFRICAN QUEEN and you could not take it. I know you can't live with yourself, you are a unprofessional, crooked liar. I hope someone opens up my record and see that you are a LIAR!!! Your mother and father failed and so did you! The ve fake, tacky expert julie sawyer the hell with her and the ugly court writer. GOD IS THE JUDGE and I AM FAVOR!!!!!

I understand individuals are often disappointed by unfavorable outcomes. There is no way ALJ Borda denied a case because the claimant was black. If your mother were represented by a lawyer (even a black lawyer) that has appeared before him they would tell you there's no way he would deny a case because of the claimant's race.

By an experienced attorney- I rarely contribute comments, but must here to go on record to say that Judge Borda is dutiful, fair, very smart, he reads his evidence thoroughly, he is claimant oriented, kind and thoughtful. It's a great pity that a comment was published by someone who feels that Judge Borda is anything other than a gem. He certainly has the strength and authority to just say "no," but particularly in a case in which there's no attorney, I'm certain that he'd be more than fair and guide the Claimant to help to support a case, order consultative examinations, request records and reports, all in an effort to bend over backwards to help the unrepresented claimant. If all ALJ's had the strength and determination and objectivity that Judge Borda has all of the Claimants and all of the attorneys would have reason to be grateful.

my son's case was heard on Oct 6,2016, I am very anixious for him, he has had problems, is a long story, the only thing I kind'a have a problem with is the waiting period to be notified if they were approved or not. I am sure, the court / judges are somewhat aware how much stress and emotional roller coaster these people are experincing and their families. I pray every day for my son to at least hear the findings of the court. I am sure the Judhe will take all the evidence presented at the hearing into consideration in his decision, I just don't know how much more stress, pain and mental my son can endure, I pray the findings will come soon. Sincerely yours. Bernice Smith (919-773-7773) (mother of Kenneth Joshua Oakes)

Eric Borda was very accommodating was personable. In spite others experiences i can say that Judge Borda was respectful patient amd quite concerned with me having to wait because of a claimants scheduling conflict. Judge Borda listened, and asked direct questions not disguised to trick, but clear and concise examples of how my ailment affected my quality of life. He did not seem biased, as I am a man of color, nor hung up on my age(40). Having gone through this process a few years ago in Philadelphia, I was extremely grateful for how simple the whole process was. But please get an attorney to make your whole process simple.

Eric Borda, was my attorney in the State of Maryland. Attorney Borda, won my case, which was denied. We went to the Federal level and won. Attorney Borda is no racist. Besides, what does color have to do with you when the law is written?

Judge Borda, is an outstanding man. He does not need negativity in his life by those who have never been in his company. Seated in a courtroom for two hours, going over the SOCIAL SECURITY LAW, does not make anyone qualified to rate a good human being, ever!

Judge Freyberg is a decent and professional juror. (I do not know the results of my case—If I am not granted disability it will be because my lawyer was not prepared and did not present enough evidence.) I found the judge to be very thoughtful and inquisitive. He asked many questions and was never demeaning or dismissive. I am sure he will consider all the evidence presented to him and render his verdict according to the law. He does not take his job lightly and realizes his decision will have serious consequences. I personally feel that he was very kind and compassionate. He worked diligently toward understanding what my history and circumstances were. I was so horribly nervous about the hearing and I feel just relieved today! I believe that I was very fortunate in being appointed Judge Freyberg—regardless of the decision he finds he is required to make.

Judge Gauthier is a great judge, I had back surgery on September 24, 2013 due to Spinal Stenosis. After my hearing he apologized for me waiting so long to get my hearing and thanked me for trying to return to work. Before, I left the room I told him I had to have second back surgery in February 2016 and he was very sympathetic. I'm glad I got him as a Judge.

Before, I left the room I told him I had to have second back surgery in February 2016 and he was very sympathetic. I'm glad I got him as a Judge.
Jeffrey Gauthier needs to research more on the subject of Multiple Schelosis. I didn't feel he was at all familiar with the severity and how it can affect so many people I n so many different ways. There are lots of books and articles on the subject that would make you understand its effects so that you could be more sympathetic to those of us with the disease and understand it much better than you did in court.

In the beginning of the hearing I thought every thing was ok until the middle of it .I felt that he was being very biased . And uncaring regarding my mental health issues. It was clear that he made up his mind before the hearing actually started . I dont know what the decission is because im still waiting for it. But I walked out of the court room filling as if I were going to be denied by the way he was talking. I pray that its not the case of me being denied.

Just had my hearing in 06/2012. Judge Halligan was courteous, compassionate, informed, and professional. I appeared without representation, but wouldn't recommend for everyone (my work history was in health services and court-related). He approved my case, and advised me steps on reopening earlier claims.

This ALJ is an example of a Judge who already has his mind made up prior to the hearing. He will attack your credibility and will call you a liar. According to these stats he has only issued 18 decisions this year. I expect his denial rating to go up dramatically.

This man should be admonished. Taken off the bench. I appeared before him as a 100% disabled veteran to request SSI and he denied me. then told me to file a claim against the Veterans Affairs office. This was a side bar right after the hearing. He made it clear he had worked for the Veterans Affairs prior to this current job at the Social Security Administration. He put information in my file that was not even related to the case, and had no bearing on my disability request. He is still serving in the military at Fort Snelling, Minnesota. I feel he has no conscience and does not even care about his fellow military service members in need of help.

I find it extremely ironic that first a ssd ssdi examiner disregards my application and diagnosis because I was able to get assistance collecting my doctors records and writing a description of how the illness affects my life Therefore, I don't qualify for a 12.0 listing (mental illness) because Mary X. Sullivan Phd insight into my illness and decided I was too organized and able to do this so I was denied for the second time. Then Administrative Law Judge Mr. James W. Hart, can review a record of someone in dire need of help to not get evicted, who has tried to work with a mental illness unsuccessfully for over 30 years that causes extreme mood swings, anxiety attacks, debilitating depression and memory loss can state that there isn't enough "consistency " in medical records of over 10 years of thourough documentation that dictates my inbility to not be consistent with my jobs with my numerous mental illness diagnosis backed by numerous doctors over the years. Does Mr. Hart HAVE ANY idea about the symptoms and detrimental symptoms of being mentally ill?

Very unfair. I had a job in my file that I never worked in life. Wasn't at all pleased with the outcome of my case.

I just wanted to say Judge Inman's rule was not a just one. While he acknowledged my illnesses, he did not acknowledge all of them. In addition to SLE which has many manifestations, I have Fibromyalgia, arthritis, no cartilage in my knees, disc disease in my back and cervical dystonia (this being the one he ignored), he actually showed great confusion I regard to his understanding of my headaches. I did not claim they were from migraines, they were due to the dystonia, yet he mentioned several times how my migraines were much better in response to treatment. Migraines were not a major issue on my end and my lawyer never used them as part of our argument, they were simply listed as one of my ailments that I live with. It appears the judge went through my records for the sole purpose of evidence of hypochondria. One if his examples was a doctor visit I had in November of 2013, I thought I was having a Lupus flare, he notes that my doctor didn't think so and if it was then it was a mild one.

When a claimant has serious mental issues, and judge Inman makes his decision by focusing and minimizing numerous physical problems, it puts a claimant in danger of being neglected and mistreated in the future because other institutional. This is not human way of dealing with seriously ill and helpless people. This is an intentional twisting of the facts.

This judge and the whole system is a joke., I applied going on seven years now. his first denial wasnt based on my medical records and his second denial wasnt based on anything he brought up in court. the first denial before him was because the mexican judge couldnt read my financials right. this system cares nothing about your situation it is set purely on discrimination. Im learning the hard way why people hate our government. i have to wait another year and a half to go infront of this government employee again.

I have had judge jacobson twice. Very prejudice and unprofessional. first denial with him he based his denial on his own opinion and not medical facts and completely ignored the vocational experts opinions. second hearing with him his denial was based on questions he didn't have at the hearing. His first hearing somehow he had not had medical information from the last two years before the hearing. His speeches of not discriminating are a farse because of him alone he discriminates against age. he gives very little speaking time and only asks questions that are basically yes or know. When describing your answers to questions he thumbs through papers and shows very little attention. His denials show that he clearly does not pay attention to detail by ways of his denials. I applied seven years ago and the denials have been based on their opinions and not the medical facts.

This judge was the most professional and efficient person of status I've ever met. He did background work on my case before our hearing and brought extremely helpful information to the case. He did Not need to do these extra steps, but his actions made me grateful to be inside his courtroom. We need more people like him.

My family and I are on the verge of homelessness. And it has been 1 month since my in person hearing no jobs hypothetically or otherwise were found for me. The judge sounded very compassionate about my situation. I truly hope the paperwork moves along so my child can have some stability in her life.

Goes off paperwork filed over 2 years ago rather than evidence presented to him in court. I am legally disabled but yet he doesn't see it that way. I now have to file an appeal and my lawyer withdrew from my case because of this.

I saw this judge via video thru Marquette MI a couple weeks ago. He was very polite and listened to my case. My atty spoke very highly of the judge. I have not heard anything yet but am hopeful. These judges do not have easy jobs with all the cases that are not true. Good luck to all applications. .

Judge Lucas denied my husbands case. After reading the decision letter I found numerous discrepancies. The judge has his education level incorrect, stated that my husband claims were different in court vs what was previously stated on record. The problem with this is my husband answered questions with specific answers. These answers were taken completely out of context. I believe if the judge had asked the questions in a different format he would have received different answers. The judge stated the doctors released my husband advising they found all treatments were successful. What the judge didn't see was that the doctors dismissed my husbands complaints about continuing pain saying their "work" was good. Their work was good but did not relieve his pain. Maybe if the judge's questions weren't so vauge and if the answers had been taken in the correct context the outcome would have been very different.

He had his mind made up before the hearing started. Very unprofessional and rude. He couldn't even read or understand the facts that were in front of him. He thought my doctor and witness were lying. The hearing was over one hour late and acted like it was my fault. I was in the waiting room over an hour before the hearing time. I don't know what his problem is but he surely has one. He acts like I was asking him for benefits out of his personal pocket. This denial was so unfair it bordered on ridiculous. He needs to be investigated. I don't this SSA would go against their own no matter how wrong they are. A HORRIBLE JUDGE AND A HORRIBLE PERSON!!!!!!

I am extremely worried now. I have Schizoeffective disorder, paranoia, depression, anxiety, and anger issues, and have been racking my brain all morning trying to figure out who my judge will be. I hope he's in good spirits and is understanding of my case but going by what the other comments say I don't have a very good chance. Hopefully I'll be able to keep myself composed for the hearing and get approved.

Worst Judge!! Needs to be investigated! In the process of filing a complaint. Extremely discriminating. He had my case all figured out before trial, nothing but a waste of ones time. Acts as if your asking for welfare. Previous comments are correct. He acts as if the money is coming out of his pocket. Why work & pay into SS if you can't even get it when your disabled and in need?

Acts as if your asking for welfare. Previous comments are correct. He acts as if the money is coming out of his pocket. Why work & pay into SS if you can't even get it when your disabled and in need?
Totally unfair! Discrimination at its finest. The whole time saying in just to young.. What? He stated I was obese but that wouldn't even help my case. He called me, my doctors, my family liars.. My Dr. Of 22 year he said was not a credible witness. He even went as far to say I was not a credible witness for myself!! I had boxes and boxes of medical evidence.. He Didnt believe any of my Doctors only the ones Social Security sent me to.. Who work for them.. And who only saw me at most for 10 min each. He is obviously paid for denying people. Make me sick his condisending attitude towards me after he read I was a tribal member. And went on to say I shouldn't need disability because we get gaming payments.. Per capita.. Umm my tribe is one of the poorest tribes.. I receive $500 quarterly.. He said doesnt my boyfriend take care of me after I told him about my 14 years of physical, mental abuse with a narcissistic mad man, thus causing my P. T. S. D. Along with Fibromyalgia, Severe Depression, Chronic Fatigue Disorder, Severe Osteoarthritis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I. B. S. . the list goes on and on.. I WISH HE HAD TO LIVE IN MY BODY FOR ONE DAY.. ONE HOUR!! IM HORRIFIED I WAS DENIED WITH SO MUCH MEDICAL EVIDENCE.. NOW WAITING ON APPEAL COUNCIL.. SYSTEM IS SO CORRUPT.. UNFAIR.. CRAZYNESS.. I DONT KNOW HOW THIS "MAN" CAN LOOK AT HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR EVERYDAY AND KNOW WHAT KIND OF SINISTER PERSON HE REALLY IS.!!!! BROKEN... ME, THE "SYSTEM", AMERICA..

Had my hearing with Judge Malloy. He seemed to be fair, let me have my say and asked appropriate questions. He seemed pleasant enough and I felt ok when leaving the courtroom. Praying he saw that I was honest about my illnesses and inability to work. Will find out in a few months. As far as the hearing I felt he was very respectful.

Just got my approval letter, 3 months after my hearing with Judge Malloy. After reading his findings it was clear to me that he actually listened to all I had to say at the hearing. His comments were very accurate and personalized. He didn't simply follow a guide book with regard to my illnesses. Highly satisfied with my overall experience with Judge Malloy!

I been waiting since the beginning of January. Still waiting. I can stop stressing if I knew something. It wouldn't be bad. It'll be three months in a couple of days. The three times I got an update with attorney, in person at SSI office, and on the phone with Alj office. I got the same response hissing like sound "sssssssss" just wait and try in a few weeks for update. The Judge was nice and explained that he puts in his decision almost immediately but the writing department can take months. He told me to hold on. That gave me hope. But my nerves can't take the waiting. Even if he denies me he made me feel like he listened. It was cold in begining like I was a "number" but he warmed up eventually.

I recently had my Hearing with ALJ Timothy Malloy, and he seemed respectful even kind. I was in so much pain I could hardly sit and had to walk out of the video to lean on a chair for relief while he spoke to my Attorney. I don't remember much of what I said. However, I would have remembered if he was rude as I am easily brought to tears or irritated like I am bipolar. I do recall the VOC said I could do 3 jobs. That is 3 jobs in the whole U.S., maybe it was 4, IDK. He could not see me (my pain), but I couldn't make it 20 minutes sitting, how could I sit 8 hours without some strong narcotics that would render me incoherent or asleep. The shocking thing was that I was making. $60k, did he think SSD was a lifestyle change I wanted? From a purely monetary aspect it doesn't even make sense, much less draining my 401k to nearly nothing. That doesn't even address what is often my main medical issues, other pain, and other issues preventing repetitive hand movements. I would have to say the VOC person was not listening to what was discussed. I am sure my Attorney went over my medical issues, and over 3,000 pgs of medical records in summary. I worked for almost a year after the accident until my employer , who accommodated my job description 3x, finally said please go. I was on so many narcotics and the pain was so bad I couldn't focus any better then than I can now. In summary, I found ALJ Timothy Malloy to be respectful, kind, and knowledgeable of my case, and his questions seemed appropriate. I do not recall thinking anything negative, only shocked at the VOC rep. I was pretty much incapacitated in pain and only recall things that stand out like contradictions. If you are on this website, you can likely relate. Best wishes to all, and I hope that you can separate his decisions from him think of him being a "horrible person. " I wouldnt want his job, many do fake, we've all known someone who might be. As prestigious as his job title is, He must have compassion to be in a job that is reveared worse than an IRS auditor, and still be doing it.

Judge Messina, I must say seemed to be very attentive and compassionate towards myself and my disability case. He listened and made me feel very comfortable and at ease even though I was extremely nervous! My attorney on the other hand, my God was he awful, but I have to give all the Glory and Honor to God for placing me in the hands of Judge Messina, may God bless you sir!

I am an attorney, and I must say that this ALJ is incompetent. He took more than 90 days to finally make a decision on my case, and did not want to approve the fee agreement without giving any reason for it. He then asked me to write a fee petition which he did not want to approve. He further stated that I was only going to get one payment that would cover claimant and all of her dependents, which is against Social Security standards. An attorney gets pay for each separate claim, his client and the auxiliaries (dependents). I had to appeal his decision on this matter to the Chief Regional, and won. I finally got all the attorney fees that were due. This case was seen in January and I finally got paid in August. He needs to be instructed on Social Security guidelines.

I have handled dozens of cases before Judge Messina. He is one of the most fair ALJs around. There are no pre determinations of clients and he follows the law. It does not matter if you are black, white, blue, or orange. It does not matter if your an SSI only case or someone who has worked for 30 years. If your records and testimony prove your case he will award benefits and if it doesn't then he won't. We need more ALJ's like this. He gets it right more often then not and anyone who says otherwise was probably unprepared or just has an axe to grind.

I found ALJ Messina to be very thorough and he considered all of the facts in my younger claimant's case. He dictated the decision right there in the courtroom and it was in my mailbox the next day. That's pretty awesome service!

Judge Messina was compassionate, sincere and patient with me on 5 May 2017. In fact, everyone in the room was. He is easy to talk to, helping me to understand (brain disease and brain damage). If you should be fortunate enough to be in front of him, relax. He wants to help people, in my opinion. Nothing but positive thoughts for Judge Messina. He will help you in every way he can. A definite God send.

I read some of these reviews and I don't know what to make of them, especially the first one from some attorney who just destroyed Judge Messina. Given the fact that I once worked for some of the finest attorney's that Milwaukee has to offer and met a lot of judges in the aforementioned capacity, that one caught my attention. Based on my experience, keeping in mind I might not be as sharp as I used to be before my stroke, but I'm also not stupid, I found Judge Messina to be a very sharp and astute person. I question whether the one comment was actually written by an attorney. So far, he's been fair to me and I will know for certain when the final decision is written, but I couldn't disagree more with the alleged attorney. Time will tell, but so far, a good and decent man.

It was obvious based on his demeanor and questioning that "Judge" Morrison had made up his mind prior to my wife's hearing and his decision ignored the opinion of her primary treating doctor in favor of the doctor SS sent her to who in his report said there was no indication that my wife even has the disorder she is seeking disability for!

I found Judge Morrison to be a fair Judge. He read over all my records, all four inches of records and even did study on my disease which he had never heard of before my hearing. I can stress to you that you MUST have Medical Evidence and have your Dr write a letter stating why he feels you are disabled. If you do not have medical proof forget it. He is smart so just be honest with him and he also treated me with respect.

Judge Morrison looked into my case and all the stacks of paperwork from various doctors in my favor, and my case was still not approved. Looking at Judge Morrison's cases denied(64%) and cases dismissed(19%) Vs- cases actually approved (17%) I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I am still in disbelief that my case was not approved over 6 months ago. I am still disabled. I don't work. My disabilities haven't gone away. My disabilities still prevent me from working. I don't like to play the 'I am a disabled veteran card' but I do feel even with all my medical records from various VA doctors and VA facilities that I was not only unfairly treated but I feel as though I was belittled in this whole process. I have no faith in the disability process. I needed help and still need help. I had faith that by going to judge Morrison I would get that help. I thought with the stacks of medical paperwork in my favor they would have shown the courts that I am in fact disabled. Very disappointed in the ruling. Now what am I to do?

On one hand Judge Morrison seems very knowledgeable and professional. I believe he is very well versed in the law. Having said that I do not feel he nor Social Security Disability treated my case as a veteran fairly. I provided stacks of medical records from doctors at the VA. I show a definite history and pattern of disability as defined by our government. Yet some how judge Morrison and Social Security both feel I can still work a part time job in food service with minimal interaction with people. It makes me ill that my country asks so much of its men and women In the armed forces and when we come to our own government with obvious problems and need help, we can't get it. I try to get help at the VA and it takes 2-3 years to get anywhere. I file claims with disability and they just get denied. Thanks judge and thanks SSD for really nothing. It has been over a year since You last heard my case. I still do not work and bills continue to mount up. I know, not your problem. For the record, on my case you were dead wrong. Pain rules my life. Fear controls my daily living. I am not the person I used to be. Shame on you for not doing your job.

It makes me ill that my country asks so much of its men and women In the armed forces and when we come to our own government with obvious problems and need help, we can't get it. I try to get help at the VA and it takes 2-3 years to get anywhere. I file claims with disability and they just get denied. Thanks judge and thanks SSD for really nothing. It has been over a year since You last heard my case. I still do not work and bills continue to mount up. I know, not your problem. For the record, on my case you were dead wrong. Pain rules my life. Fear controls my daily living. I am not the person I used to be. Shame on you for not doing your job.
Had a hearing on January 2016 The judge was very fair and thorough. Just be honest with him and do not exaggerate symptoms. He is very well versed in the law and treated me with dignity and respect.

All I can say is kangaroo court. He is also an intensely crabby individual who has an very strange obsession with any previous drug/alcohol use/abuse - as if ANYone with a disability hasn't.. Just.. Very very strange. He uses any possible thing to grasp at, in order to back up his pre-decided denials - as opposed to using evidence TO come to a decision. When judges get this jaded and crabby, they seriously should no longer be able to hear cases anymore.

This official of the courts was one of the best I have ever encountered. He allowed me to speak and he gave me the courtesy to present my evidence. I will say, that he was very stearn from the outset of the case, but once he realized that an error had been made by the Social Security Administration, the Judges' demeanor changed. I wish that all Judicial officials could take a page from this Judges court etiquettes. I have encountered many Judge's that demoralize and treat the disabled as harden criminals, but this Judge was neither unprofessional, nor stereotypical.

I had my hearing with Judge Mueller and I must say I have never been so degraded as a human being until I had Judge Mueller hear my case. Not only did he degrade me but he made every effort to belittle me and mentally and emotionally attack me. He took various parts of my reports and misconstrued them any way to put me down. It seemed to only upset him when I re-clarified those parts of my records that he was taking out of context. This judge is non-compassionate, ignorant, unworthy of doing his job in a professional manner, arrogant, disrespectful and the list can go on. Judge Mueller also felt it was his right to question me on personal information not related to my medical information or disability. It is really upsetting that someone with his characteristics is someone you should be comfortable to discuss your disability and hardships with. I felt from the moment I walked in he had already stereo-typed me as an unworthy person. I really hope he never finds himself in my position and have someone like him determine his fate.

As a rep I have appeared before him many times and he is a fair Judge who wants to do the right thing. If you have anything negative in your medical records HE WILL SEE IT and ask you about it. If he feels that he does not have enough information he will work with me on what we can do to shed more light on the case. He is a former trial attorney, advocate for yourself/your client and be prepared to answer tough questions! Actually, if you are not represented, get an experienced disability attorney. I love going into his courtroom and find that he truly cares.

Extremely fair judge with a pleasant demeanor. She gets right to the point and does not waste time with unnecessary questions. She is very respectful of the Claimant and can be interactive with counsel. She handles most of the questioning and the hearings last 30-45 minutes.

She was pretty biased. None of her hypotheticals included my mental health issues. She failed to mention the two three ring binders of physician notes, forms, letters, rfc's every three months. She asked some basic questions and gave hypotheticals to the VE. After being questioned by my attorney, he said that someone with my documented and diagnosed limitations and diagnoses could do any of the work. The appeals council got back to me within 5wks.

When I first looked here her approved rate was 21%. Now I see it has dropped to 13%. 13%? Seriously???? How absolutely disgusting of her. When I received my unapproved paperwork from her she omitted facts that worked in my favor and flat out lied. Does anyone oversee these judges and watch how they are deciding cases and why? Such an angry, **** person!

I had this judge for my disability ssi hearing on feb. 25th of this year. And what i don't understand is after several years of doctor visits,injections, physical theropy,speaking with several neurosurgeons and told my health issues were inoperable, thirty six years of being a carpenter, working legally since i was 16 years old paying into the system and a U.S.citizen I'll repeat a U.S. citizen... And told by all my doctor's to apply for disability ssi yet when i was before her, she degraded me,made me feel like i was doing something wrong,looked at me like i was lying and just down right mean...how could one person have the power to decide my future with all my health issues that i have and that i did everything by the book. She asked me how my life was and said it was ****! And she went off on me and said don't use such vulger language... what? It's a good thing i didn't say what i really think of my life. It's now ten weeks since then and haven't heard a thing. I'm about to lose my house that i raised two children and grandchildren and now it might be lost because of the system... What the **** am i going to do...whoops sorry for the vulger language. One person has the power to do that to people makes me Wonder why this is legal. At least i have a clear conscious. She should be ashamed of her self.

A horrible, dishonest judge. She flat out lied in her report stating why I was not approved. She misrepresents doctor reports, picks and chooses to only use information that she can twist so it works against you. Makes things up and just flat out lies. She should be investigated!!!!

Judge O'Grady doesn't listen to you, doesn't look at all of the medical records that are sent in. I have had 2 appeal hearings with her now and she has denied them both because of her personal opinion and not the evidence.

I won't lie the judge I had was pretty intimidating not sure if it was more the fact of part of my illness orjust being nervous around people..she does ask questions which is her very right to make sure that people are not abusing the system that is intended for the people who need it.. I see so many negative post about judges but it's their job to protect the taxpayer from fraud...if you think they were drilling you maybe your medical evidence wasn't so on par.. I was told my judge was known as the ice queen ... I had no problems with anything she said or asked it's her job. I will not verify though, because that's none of your guys business.. But I find this whole website ridiculous where you have people commenting and saying what judging is which ... It's pretty ridiculous that people have the time to go and bash and try to get a judge that they think will give them what they want that's not how it works if you were truly disabled and have impairments it should not matter who you see..forgive me for any spelling errors or sentences that don't make sense.

Starts out professional but then digresses into getting in a dig, a sarcastic and critical appraisal even when she is treated with consideration and respect. People who attempt to have their disability recognized are still people. If she quit or was removed it would be no great loss.

Just had my hearing 3 weeks ago or so and am awaiting the final outcome. She made me feel very relaxed and treated me with respect, listened to anything I had to say and was just a very seemingly kind and caring lady.

This incompetent judge is unable to read and does not understand medical conditions. That is the job of the doctors and specialists, who wrote for me an incredible statement of capacity that clearly outlined my disabilities and their impact on working. Anyone with half a brain who read these, and inspected hundreds of pages of medical records could see that I am an individual who has never declined treatment attempts and has sought out as much as possible in the effort to be able to be well. Sadly, this has not resulted in any improvements in my condition, which is well documented, as are the impairments that prevent me from gainful employment. Unfortunately, the system is also set up to discriminate against anyone with a rare illness. Needless to say, the entire proceeding of this process is a joke, but I sincerely hope that this judge comes down with my illness and has to *** ** *** **** I have endured for close to a decade now.

I had heard lets just say not to kind words of this Judge. So I was very nerviness going into my hearing with the ratings I've seen on him here online. That said He did ask some very important ?s some of them may seem like he knew the answers but wanted to see how you answered them. He gave you plenty of time to answer the ?s. I can't sit long so he had no problem of me standing or to do whatever I had to do. He seemed to care and even made a comment about me shaking from the pain and asked why and how often it happens.Let me be clear he knows what his doing and if you try to blow smoke up his ass He'll see it coming a mile a way. He's a new Judge comes from St.paul or the other twin city to STL in the last year i think. I'm told he's a hard Judge BUT what I seem of him he seems fair.My lawyer said he normally takes over an hour per case. I don't think I was I the hearing more than 20 minutes so I don't know if that is good or bad. I don't know the out come yet.

My understanding was that this Judge was fairly new to St. Louis ODAR. I thought he seemed very fair during our hearing. He made me feel more comfortable than usual when I'm in these situations, which I appreciated. He said he had thoroughly reviewed my file and I believed he did by his comments throughout. No decision yet, but I have a very old case which is causing complications. I did wonder if the Voc Rehab rep was biased by some of her comments. I tend to take things very negatively even when not warranted often, so its hard for me to tell at times. I would say regardless of result he seemed to do what was appropriate from what I witnessed. I had a hard time not turning in multiple rants on how things I had forgotten were left out or how something I might of said may look conflicting, an unfortunate side effect I've yet to come close to mastering.

This "judge" is totally biased. My wife was denied her SSA even though 4 doctors, a psychologist and court appointed job assessor all agreed that she should have been approved for her SSA. That decision crushed her spirit. So here we are almost a year after his ** decision and now my wife is dead and I'm am filing chapter 7. Hope this ***** **** ** ****!!!

Worst possible judge means that he is in the 1st percentile nationally with regard to approval rates. The federal courts are beginning to catch on to his bizarre interpretation of the law. Lawyers who work for SSA have know this for some time.

the guy steps on our rights as americans to recieve disabilty benefits, i have 3 qualifying physical health and 4 qualifying mental health and 54yrs old very uncompassionate and fair, im sure he ate well off the taxpayers, sure he enjoys his socialist health care plan payed for by tax dollars. most of us have work history and payed taxes and into the social security system, yet he denies us a meager income and health care, which those with disorders and conditions need. makes you wonder about his patriotismto our country

He weighed the "observations" of two people who spent a whopping 15 minutes each with me more heavily then those of my OWN doctor, someone who observed the worsening of my condition. My lawyer warned me that it was a crap shoot having him and that's NOT something that should be predictable. You should not be able to look at the judge's name and say "Oh, you don't stand a chance with him." as this just shows how unfair his decisions really are. I'm left with no choice but to try and appeal now and who KNOWS what's going to happen.

Judge Ritter had statements in the Notice of Decision letter that were not accurate and I will be contacting someone about that. If to do nothing else than to clear my testimony as true and not "inconsistent statements undermine her credibility" as he writes. Ritter also states that he "gives little weight to the opinion of treating provider Dr. _____; my psychiatrist and that he also "gives little weight to the multiple opinions of treating provider Dr ______; my psychologist. The day of the hearing my attorney felt he needed to let me know that Judge Ritter denies 80% of the cases that come in front of him. How is it that this one judge would get so many cases that do not warrant disability benefits?

I have to say if you get Judge Ritter you will need to have all your ducks in a row and I mean make sure you go through your case and make sure its solid. This judge finds anyway to deny you everytime. I did not realize how bad it really was until i had to go through the process. At one time I even was looking at getting a different lawyer. I thought if i had one from Wisconsin it maybe better...NOPE I looked into over 5 different lawyers as soon as the Heard Judge Ritter they told me right out they will not take my case because he will just continue to deny you over and over. And these were all first contact phone calls so these lawyers didn't even look at any of my records or anything. I am in the appeals process now and my only hope is that they remand it and not send it back to him because if they do we already know it will be denial.

I am a veteran and had congressional interest. It took FOREVER. To get an answer. I actually called the offices in Mlwke and found out Ritter was on a leave of absence. I was told he would be back the following week and I should have a answer soon. Like the two judges b4 him it was a NO. The state of WI disability judges have a serious problem with the VA. They will do everything to discredit everything the doctors say at the VA. My conditions continue to get worse. In the past year my wife has left me. My kids no longer talk to me. I am alone in a house I am going to loose. No wonder 22 veterans take their own lives a day. I have tried various ways to get help and I can not get help. If there is a hell- I hope u and the 2 judges b4 u go there. I mean who do u and your back office people think you are. I look at other states and it is so easy for a veteran to get benifits thru social security if you are rated at just 90%. I have one rating at 100% alone for just one condition.

I know Judge Ritter from back when he was in the Navy. Yes, I need all you vets that he is screwing over to know that he was in the military himself. He should have more compassion. However, even when I knew him (at the time we went to the same church) he had little compassion for people who didn't meet his ideas of who matters. He is a big reason that I went crazy, ended up in a mental hospital and left Christianity. He believes he knows best for EVERYONE. I suggest to those of you who can to leave WI and move to a more liberal state. Remember though he IS a veteran.

This guy is a disgrace. He made me have two people take off work and drive 250 miles round-trip, and he didn't even take their testimony. He probably hates the military because he was tossed off the Tailhook case for "a legal impropriety." Just google his name and dig a little for the story. No wonder people think that the system is rigged! . '

My lawyer said that as long as we don't get Ritter, we should be fine. The 1st judge I had for the first 2 hearings was about 2% or so lower in approval rate - whom moved into WI for my 1st hearing - the very day that my case was heard and left after my 2nd hearing denial.. Just my luck. THEN, for the 3rd remand I hear we're getting Ritter. I KNEW that was going to happen because that's just my luck - period. However I heard that Ritter was much nicer than the 1st guy, so that at least made me feel slightly better - as the 1st guy was an absolutely wretched human being. When judges get that jaded and crabby and try to find every possible goofy thing to deny a case, they simply should NOT be allowed to hear cases anymore. So I was still surprised that Ritter did actually seem more reasonable than the 1st guy. To my sheer utter disbelief and astonishment, I got a fully favorable decision in record time - even more amazing, due to an invisible disability. But I don't know if that was because the appeals council decimated absolutely EVERYthing that Judge King Crabby had in his first two ridiculous decisions. Still, overall, when there is so much disparity between the judges with high approval ratings and those with low approval ratings - I don't know how that situation is allowed to continue without any intervention from some sort of 'Internal Affairs' type of oversight... That really needs to change! People's lives are on the line, both literally and figuratively - for upwards of 8 years.

To my sheer utter disbelief and astonishment, I got a fully favorable decision in record time - even more amazing, due to an invisible disability. But I don't know if that was because the appeals council decimated absolutely EVERYthing that Judge King Crabby had in his first two ridiculous decisions. Still, overall, when there is so much disparity between the judges with high approval ratings and those with low approval ratings - I don't know how that situation is allowed to continue without any intervention from some sort of 'Internal Affairs' type of oversight... That really needs to change! People's lives are on the line, both literally and figuratively - for upwards of 8 years.
How long does it take to get a decision from the Milwaukee Office after your hearing????

Was very compassionate and sincerely cared about the illnesses I have. I didn't have a lawyer and he listened to everything and although I cried through most, he was understanding.

Had hearing on September 1st . Judge was mild mannered and listened to what I had to say. Asked the Vocational expert questions and hypotheticals and then my attorney asked some questions. Took for ever to get a decision which was " fully favorable " It was a long road.

Deserves a disability. Took testimony out of context to validate his denial of claim. Did not listen or consider all of the facts, another typical government employee.

He got most if not all the facts of my fiancés case wrong. Simple things like whether or not she has glasses, and she was wearing them. He said she doesn't have a car, yet she does. He deserves no accolades.

This judge Springer is corrupt to the core!! He is a liar, and a rotten person. He's not worthy of being a judge!! He is a fraud and he should be convicted to the fullest extent of the law.

This judge apparently has a scandal behind him in 2016: "Dean Syrjanen had served as hearing office director at the Oak Brook, Ill., ODAR until shortly after agents from the SSA’s Office of the Inspector General’s Office interviewed him about allegations of whistleblower retaliation. He soon after moved back into his previous position as an attorney adviser and decision writer on disability claims review cases, sources said. Syrjanen, who sources say got into a yelling match with OIG agents, takes a substantial pay cut in his departure from the management position."

Does this Judge have an extension, in which I can leave a voice message, or an email in which to send evidence? I understand an individual has been approved to file an appeal, through the Attorney Fee Branch office in Virginia. It would be so nice to be able to email her the additional evidence. It seems this will be the third appeal for attorney fee's filed with this judge. I have no clue why Judge Sherry D Thompson keeps approving the Fee to Gabriel Dean Johnson of the Fields Law Firm, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The attorney didn't show up in court and was not representing the client. Judge Roger W. Thomas can verify that the attorney whom showed up in court was Michael Graham Schultz. Thank goodness for good honest attorney's. It sure helps practicing law a better place and helps the reputation of the field of law.

Can you explain, without using the word: CORRUPTION, or mentioning crooks, ie Debra Bice, Carolyn Colvin, Sherry Thompson, David Thompson et al., why a 100% Service-Connected DISABLED veteran, who hasn't been gainfully employed since honorable discharge 1987 would be denied ssdi benefits ? Do you think the SSA has more criminals employed than does the VA ? Have you blown the whistle on any of the crooks you see at the SSA ?

Judge Thomoson, i had written a letter to you within the time limitvabout the attorney fee disagreement. I have not heard back from you, can you please give me an explaination of why you did not do so? My attorney whom I never met until court shows up without all of My medical records and I got very little settlement amount and was charged almost half of my settlement. I really disagree and wish I had gotten my own personal attorney. I did not gey any explaination of how they came up with the amounts which I also wrote in about. I think I'm going to reopen my case since they amended it without giving me numbers. I have children and rent and bills. I e been out of work due to my didabity since February 2014, they amended it to March of 2015. Something is very wrong here. Very unhappy with the way this issue was handeled.

Recent first hearing with this particular judge. Rather shockingly unprofessional. Clearly had mind made up, dismissive of and belittling to claimant, and clearly not interested in claimant testimony. Repeatedly interrupted claimant while she attempted to ask questions, especially when testimony would have been supportive of claim for benefits. Claimant over age 50 with 2 level cervical fusion and residual upper extremity radicular symptoms. A very unfortunate appearance, reflecting poorly on generally high quality ALJs

ALJ put words in claimant's mouth and would not listen when she tried to correct. ALJ made statement regarding the record and appended the statement with a question mark - did not ask real questions. Did not let claimant finish answering questions when her testimoney contradicted what he wanted to hear. ALJ had an agenda and was looking for information that supported it. ALJ argued with claimant. ALJ was dismissive of claimant.

Also first hearing with this judge. He did have his own adgenda, you could tell that he had already made up his mind before you even entered the room. He suggested going to the DVR programs which is also an application process for people with disabilities. If he doesn't believe the disabilities are bad enough what makes him believe they will think differently. He also belittles the person who is disabled to make them feel worse about themselves.

After reading about the disability system running out of money very soon it is refreshing to hear about a Judge who is not digging this country deeper in debt. I have known people who file for disabilty when they are fully able to work. I applaud Judge Toal.

After hearing of Judge Toal's low approval rating, I was very concerned. I had been unable to work for nearly three years and wasn't sure how much longer I could survive without any income if I were to be denied. I agree that Judge Toal probably had his decision prior to my hearing at least a pretty good idea. However I would expect that, after admittedly reading all 600 pages of my medical reports and supporting documents. He seemed surprisingly familiar with my case and only needed clarification of certain details. I would guess one main reason the system is so overloaded is due to the large amount of bogus claims. Judge Toal, in my opinion, was courteous, to the point and showed true concern for my well being. I think His Approval/disapproval percentage represents that of a, conscientious and dedicated, quality ALJ.

Had my hearing with Judge Toal about 4 weeks ago. Still waiting on the decision but I believe I won. He understood my struggles. He also read my entire med file so he could relate to my condition and 100% understood it. Judge Toal has a low rating, but like stated before its because of all the BS claims. I believe this to be ture as well. Its people like me that truely suffer that lose out because of it. I'm glad I got judge Toal. I wont sit here and say...I know people with less of a disability than me and they won. Bla Bla Bla. Believe in your case and that you truely deserve this, and you will win. Lie and fake it, you deserve to lose. And with my experience with Judge Toal. He sees this everyday, hes extremely smart. Try to pull some BS claim, your done. I told the truth and he seen that I was honest and unfortunately suffering. Win or lose my hearing. I applaud you Judge Toal !! Dave M

This Judge has no value for human life, he has 0 empathy for hurting people. He has driven my daughter to suicidal attempt with his ungodly/heartless decision. He had her in his court room on 2 different occasions and he kept on belittling her by asking her questions and as she was answering he would interrupted her by turning her answers to more questions. Knowing my daughter has several severe health and mental issues from reports and records of different Doctors including Social Security. As a mother my heart is shattered, and has shocked and saddened family, friends, her Attorney, Doctors, Pastors. I ask from everyone that is reading this to please say prayer for God to spare my daughter's life and give us strength and to protect others from his wrongful decisions. God Bless and have mercy on the people that come across this Judge.

He had her in his court room on 2 different occasions and he kept on belittling her by asking her questions and as she was answering he would interrupted her by turning her answers to more questions. Knowing my daughter has several severe health and mental issues from reports and records of different Doctors including Social Security. As a mother my heart is shattered, and has shocked and saddened family, friends, her Attorney, Doctors, Pastors. I ask from everyone that is reading this to please say prayer for God to spare my daughter's life and give us strength and to protect others from his wrongful decisions. God Bless and have mercy on the people that come across this Judge.

Judge Toal was very informed and knowledgeable in regards to my medical history and conditions. He took his time with me while asking questions which I greatly appreciated. He tried his best to make me feel comfortable and relaxed during the hearing.

After my recent hearing with Judge Patrick J Toal, I found him to be an upstanding judge. He's very professional, well versed, knowledgeable of your case,a good listener,very polite and straight to the point. He only ask questions relevant to your case, giving you the opportunity to further explain if necessary. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet with him, and wish him well in his career.

Respectfully witty and kind when speaking to me. Professional and forthcoming; apologized when previous case had taken longer than expected; He tells it like it is and wants yours statements to match the facts; no negativity and one of the most magnanimous people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

This judge was cherry picking at my first disability hearing on November 20, 2012. My attorney said that he had all judges which were completely/most understanding of a client. From the beginning, he put words in my mouth and was not interested at all about what I said. He did not listen well and I suspect he was against me from the beginning. He denied my disability claim, and my attorney was furious that day about his cherry picking. He was blindsided as he had not had this judge previously. He would not allow family/friends as witnesses. I sat on two pillows as I have pain there in my left buttock and down my left leg into my left foot for a ling time. He even asked if I ever used the cane to ambulate or was I just balancing it at the time. I was trying to answer his questions, but he was more interested in the fact that I previously had sinusitis, a doctor had noticed the start of arthritis in my right index finger and I had a pap smear. These ridiculous cherry picking incidents were not going to make me disabled. I hobbled out with my offset cane. I then appeared before him on July 19, 2016, for a remand hearing. He had his mind set for whatever reason to argue to dismiss my claim and not award me any monetary amount. My attorney was again completely blindsided. I don't drive, but a volunteer driver brought me that day. I was completely stunned and blindsided myself. My attorney prepped me for the remand hearing in May of 2016. Judge Patrick J. Toal was rude and condescending to me. For example, He said I see you have brought your pillows with you again. Of course, I did. I have pillows to sit on at home all over the place. Several different chairs and I sleep only on my right side because of the pain on my left side with a leg spacer. He is a very mean and controlling judge. Not willing to listen to me or my attorney. I believe he should be removed from the Bench. My rating is so low that I would not even give him one star.

I had my disability hearing with Judge Toal yesterday. I found him to be polite, caring, witty and extremely intelligent. He asked very relevant questions and made sure I understood how the proceedings and witnesses would progress. I wish all judges were this well prepared. I believe the system would not be so overloaded with bogus complaints if claimants knew they would have to answer to this judge. I feel very privileged to have gotten such a thorough respectful and kind man.

A ******** human being. Just an absolute ******** *******. Acts polite initially and then tries to rip apart, embarrass, and humiliate people rather than just do his job. He seems to get off on showing his superiority to people who lack education. If he doesn't think a claim is legit he should just do his job and deny it. Instead, he goes out of his way to belittle people. He has no business being a Judge and is a disgrace to our country.

I had Judge Kevin Vodak for my disability hearing on October 7, 2015. He seems very nice. I do not know the outcome yet but, I am hoping for an approval ,of course. I will be happy to tell you a few things I saw in him as the hearing was in action. He seemed very well spoken. He seemed very in tune and interested in hearing what I had to say. He had a very nice composure and made me feel like a person not just a case. I wanted him to understand my pain but of course that is impossible to do. He did seem like he had empathy though and I really appreciated him taking the time to hear me and my case and not just dismiss me and make me feel like nothing. I already feel like nothing because I have lost so much of "me" in my new world of pain . No one has to remind me. Overall I thought it went well. He seemed like a very nice Judge.

I'd give him zero stars, but at least he let me speak. I'll put it this way, Judge Vodak already has his mind made up before you enter the room. You can be sincere, truthful and completely open and it will not sway him at all. I have had the same disease for ten years and have now been kicked off disability with no hope of being able to find much less hold one of the jobs recommended. Best of luck to you if you draw him for your hearing. You better be missing a leg to get any sympathy from this judge.

This judge and the system does not have a clue about the disabling effects of a mental illness and you will not be given any consideration, after you are no longer able to work because of mental health issues that are very serious. SSDi does not apply the information they get in credible way.

I just want to voice my opinion on the Unfavorable decision that was made on my case recently. I want to let you know how disappointed I was when I read your decision. Although, you found my doctors credible in their diagnosis of my disabilities you questioned my character and called me a liar for the answer that I gave you under Oath. While reading this report I find it disturbing because you contradict yourself, your/my doctor’s notes. Ergo, the testimony that I gave to you concerning my day-to-day activities, my health, schooling and simply trying to care for two teenage sons you dismissed it. I have worked for over 35 years, which is on record, not mentioning the years that are not on record. If I were not in pain from day to day sometimes continuously, I would have a job and be working. I believe that everyone has good in them and people try to be fair to the very best of their ability. However, I also know that you really have to consult your higher being when it comes to making decision that could shatter a person’s life. I am sorry that my integrity and character was questionable to you. I thank God that I am a woman who has great Hope in him. Because if I did not I would have been crushed not only from you denying my case but also because you attacked my character by calling me a liar. My hope is that the next person who comes before you that you see and hear them. I believe that you are a fair judge who weighs all the factors in people’s cases to the best of your knowledge. Therefore, my prayer for you is that God gives you more discernment when you make judgments on peoples cases and character. I prayed that because it is a need for all involved in making decisions on people’s livelihoods. Our system is so broken that when honest people who really have issue in theirs lives and they need the system to work for them it does not. I pray that God give you all wisdom and discernment. Thank you for reading.

Shame on you Judge Waters. You have no idea the pain I'm in. I worked in the ER so I know how many fakers on SSD. I am not faking and if you read the reports you can see. I worked 35+ years and never received any support including child support. Now when I need the support you are deciding my fate. I have been knocked down several times and got right back up, this time did me in. Now I'm about to be 59 and I'm devastated. You know no one will hire me. I didn't plan this you can see I have worked since 15 years old. Why pay a "Vocational Expert" if your not going to listen? He said with all my limitations I can not work. I guess the MRI showing 4 disc budge ,protrusion,slit in L4-5 and the height loss plus since first denial I have had Breast Cancer surgery and 2 skin Cancer surgeries,on heavy medication and very depressed! Making a salad or microwave dinner or using a swifter doesn't mean I'm not in pain! By the way I now have nothing and stay in a room at my son's house, I don't do any of that! Pain Management told me to keep body moving.some days I hurt so bad my 5yr old granddaughter rubs me. Dr said I'm always going to be on medication and even surgery wouldn't help my back. The people who see me often know how I struggle. Like anything good days and more bad days. I heard that most are denied the first time, I must say after all reports you received I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. I guess it was just a flashlight for when I'm homeless.

Falsify of facts, says things that are not true-forces her self on professional job consultants and states things from her view that were never opioned by the job expert. Relegates an Appeals Council finding of fact to not be considered-reverses their findings-reverses des finding-The case came back for a job expert to complete the process which they did-yet you did not like the results so you reverse the Appeals councel for confirmation of jobs available-no jobs where available. Des factually stated I could not do the job I left-what you do is to undo that and say otherwise-to rule out what the Appleals councel found as significant issues-to render it your way-to steal away the case to be based on your fabricated lies.

We all must send President Trump a letter explaining how and why Judge Waters should be dismissed. Enough unfair comments and letters should do it! We must fight for our rights especially if we contributed as a citizen of the USA.

I wept when I read what judge waters said in my denial letter. She took facts and put her own spin on them and threw them in my face. I sincerely hope anyone who needs disability payments does not get this judge. I have so many things wrong with my spine that I have to go to a surgeon who specializes in spines -one of only 5 in the country that will do this 8 hr surgery. Her “states witness” is an 80 yr old retired orthopedic who doesn’t even do spines! He said I should be able to climb a ladder, a rope,scaffolding!? And haul 20 lbs around without a problem. I can stand/sit for 20 min at a time & he said 6-8 hrs is more like it?! She has NO business being a judge

Wow....since your denial, which was unjust I have been homeless, my son had to help me get apartment(roach invested) I have a part time job which barely pays the rent. I have applied and sent resume out to hundreds of places...my age is a factor. My food card doesn’t last a month...I was a strong independent woman until my injury and you pushed me to hopeless,depressed and a nothing. You are a terrible person. Thank You hope you feel good about yourself.

Judge Winkelman is a fair judge. He puts the time in to review your case and make the correct decision. He spent over 45 minutes with me during hearing, asking me questions about my condition and confirming what was already noted by all my doctors. He is smart and compassionate. My feeling is... Judge Winkelman's knowledge on different disabilities is great! And if you are truly disabled he can identify through your Dr. notes and by the questions he asks during hearing.

Worst human being I have ever met. He kept getting my case mixed up with another one. He wouldn't let me answer the questions. With medicine, it is not always a yes or no answer. How dare he treat me the way he did. A real piece of work! I accept the decision he made in the case, but I do not respect it or him. He should not be on the bench!

Judge Roger E. Winkelman has a reputation for being rather cold and unsympathetic, it appears he "cherry picked" on my medical records instead of concentrating on the latest x-rays and doctor notes. I feel very sorry for Judge Winkelman, his life seems to be a pitiful one.

This judge discriminates abd don't care. There are dire need letter he will get ahold of it to make you wait longer. He don't care about what you say and you can work. Have 100 doctors say you can't buy he will deny you, how is thus allowed? Why do we have puppets for judge's? He's one of them like 90 percent are. Sad

Homeless and mentally disabled and find out he is my judge. SSI has taken so many year's and just to know by stats that I have a judge that shouldn't be on the bench from Milwaukee to here, great I'm screwed and found out he has my case with the dire need letter. All doctor's say no i cant butt he will deny me. New fiscal year is October, been woundering why i have no date, be the first denial on his next year. Heartless and ruthless is his track record. I don't cate what people say about him just the stats and his decisions. He don't even really care. The one's he gives out he has to. Cant be 100 percent denial of every claim. Have be lucky. Sad time we live in with people like this who have power over you're life and give a rat's behind.

It had been a long journey. I was denied disability. I found out a few months ago after 3+ yrs of waiting. I lie here this morning wondering why & what I could have done differently. My conclusion is I couldn't do anything differently. I was honest & did my best despite how hard it was for me to be at my hearing. Judge Winkleman seems to be a good judge but the problem is he is not a medical specialist & when one has an uncommon & complicated condition, (one which he can't possibly have any understanding of) it's unfair for him to decide if you're "worthy" to be compensated for your disability. I was declared disabled by 2 medical Drs (specialists) & the occupational Specialist assisting at the hearing. Judge Winkleman appeared as intelligent, understanding, & compassionate as the hearing began. Things changed quickly. He became assertive, disbelieving, & assuming. He wanted yes or no answers with no explanation-unless he specifically asked for one. I felt defeated-it's so hard to try to give explanations as to how I feel or how I get through my days living with the chronic pain & other symptoms I've lived with for many years. I don't even understand my disease how could Judge Winkleman even begin to understand. He asked questions such as; Are you able to dress yourself? Are you able to bathe yourself? Etc. I am able to do this & other things-doesn't mean I'm able to hold a job. He asked about Facebook & how many friends I have. I had commented earlier in the hearing that I had no friends. Anyone who's suffers with a disability knows that the FB connection is just another crutch to help ourselves to feel like a valued human being. Judge Winkleman denied my case & with that he denied me in so ways. He denied medical care (can't afford treatment that may help), He denied me trust (trust in the system), he denied me security (abandoned by the system), he denied me self esteem (He didn't believe me), he denied me equal status (feel like less of a person & extremely guilty), he denied me financial help (can't work-my husband bears the load), he denied me peace (wondering what I did wrong), he denied me hope (I'm never going to get better). I believe that Judge Winkleman is a good judge & able to give good judgement awards in clear-cut cases such as disabilities dealing with Cancer, Stroke, Heart disease, etc. When disability cases are associated with invisible diseases, however, there has to be a better understanding & a much better system. I continue to struggle through my days. I really wish Judge Hinkleman was right & that I wasn't disabled. I would give almost anything to live Without this burden & to be able To work & do the things he probably takes for granted. ( For anyone going through this process, I wish you all the luck in the world! Just as a word of precaution-you may want to delete or make private your FB account. Judge Winkleman seemed way to concerned about it. He asked multiple question pertaining to it. I believe wholeheartedly that he checked mine before my case, although this is forbidden. It is also unethical in my opinion. )

Is it possible or adviseable to file a complaint to the Governor or State Senate if the judge does not allow you the opportunity to explain how your condition affects your ability to function despite years of medical evidence provided by surgeons and physicians?

It was almost a 3 year process but I understand the protocol. Judge Winkleman was tough but fair. I know he has a job to do within guidelines. He sent me to his physicians to be examined. I received a favorable judgement. I had nothing to hide, I had all my medical records for past 10 years, etc....

This man is a heartless individual. Needs to be disbarred to say the least. Would prefer something much more physical but for him to get brought down to planet earth would be a start. Made my wife cry by bringing up all the activities she used to be able to do before she got so bad and continued to rub it in for 15 minutes. Ask if she needed to reschedule because he would love to continue these questions on a later date. What a waste of a chair. We need to do something about this heartless individual. Treating people like this is not what we want with our judicial system. Unexcusable. Please help us with this mission. People with ailments don’t need to be slammed, made fun of, disrespected, discarded, interrupted when trying to answer the question because they suffer from thinking fiction problems due to medication side effects. Your a heartless highly unqualified judge. Please quit before you mess with a family member of some one who won’t be so humble like me. When the majority of the people are begging for a change it’s a no brainer

Roger Winkleman treated me without professionalism, courtesy, or even an ounce of kindness. When asking questions that were not a simple yes or no, things that needed some explanation, he would interrupt me aggressively and demand a yes or a no. He asked me if I ever tried committing suicide, I said that I experience suicide ideation on a daily basis, he again violently interrupted and demanded a yes or a no. He asked about pretty irrelevant things like if I’m on Facebook or other social media(of which I’m not)how much time I spend on the internet and how much time I watch TV, how many friends do I have? None of those questions were listed on the paperwork sent about my hearing. I was triggered by his toxic masculinity and was moved to tears of despair, fear, panic and upset. When taking literally no more than 5 seconds to collect myself, he rushed me to answer him and said,” if you can’t collect yourself I’m happy to give you a later date to come back here.” I said no! I’ve waited over a year for this hearing, we are doing this today. At the end of it all, he asked if I had anything I’d like to say, to which I replied yes I have a written statement that I’d like to read on the record. He said ok. I got 2 words out and he again forcefully interrupted me and said that he didn’t want to hear it and that he’d take the paper and put it in my file. I said no, I want to read my statement! He said give it to me now, is there anything else you’d like to say? I said ( for the 3rd time)I’d like to read my statement. He denied me that right and that time which was for me, my disability hearing. My life depends on this! Roger E Winkelman is a ****** and **** man, he’s part of the white male privilege club. He makes over $170,000 annually and I’d be happy with $12,000 per year. ***** on him! There should be judges that oversee physical disability, and judges that only deal with mental disability. Roger has no idea about mental illness or PTSD. I’m sure he’s never imagined what it’s like to be be violently attacked and to have his physical and mental health deteriorate. I’m sure he’s never been fired from a job as a result of that circumstance either! We need humanity and compassion. This man has neither. Thumbs down Winkelman ****

He asked about pretty irrelevant things like if I’m on Facebook or other social media(of which I’m not)how much time I spend on the internet and how much time I watch TV, how many friends do I have? None of those questions were listed on the paperwork sent about my hearing. I was triggered by his toxic masculinity and was moved to tears of despair, fear, panic and upset. When taking literally no more than 5 seconds to collect myself, he rushed me to answer him and said,” if you can’t collect yourself I’m happy to give you a later date to come back here.” I said no! I’ve waited over a year for this hearing, we are doing this today. At the end of it all, he asked if I had anything I’d like to say, to which I replied yes I have a written statement that I’d like to read on the record. He said ok. I got 2 words out and he again forcefully interrupted me and said that he didn’t want to hear it and that he’d take the paper and put it in my file. I said no, I want to read my statement! He said give it to me now, is there anything else you’d like to say? I said ( for the 3rd time)I’d like to read my statement. He denied me that right and that time which was for me, my disability hearing. My life depends on this! Roger E Winkelman is a ****** and **** man, he’s part of the white male privilege club. He makes over $170,000 annually and I’d be happy with $12,000 per year. ***** on him! There should be judges that oversee physical disability, and judges that only deal with mental disability. Roger has no idea about mental illness or PTSD. I’m sure he’s never imagined what it’s like to be be violently attacked and to have his physical and mental health deteriorate. I’m sure he’s never been fired from a job as a result of that circumstance either! We need humanity and compassion. This man has neither. Thumbs down Winkelman ****
Judge Winkelman was prepared for my case and already knew how he would rule because I had the evidence required to show that I was qualified.. Luckily I was very early for my appointment and was done half an hour before I was even supposed to be there. I did not have any issues with him at all. He seemed to be a nice man and was very professional.

He lies about things that wasn't even said at the hearing, bring your lawyer when attending any of his hearings..

Agreed. He plowed me into the ground. Had his mind made up before I even had my hearing. I never had a chance, even with a lawyer.

It's very frustrating. I wasn't making a whole lot when I had to stop working. I didn't need to though, as my wife made more then enough to support the family. I truly loved my last job, and the people I worked with. If I could still work, i'd be back there in a second. I told Judge Zellman that, and he stopped me, and said basically, that I was lying. I have yet to actually get the final decision from him, but my rep and I both know it's denied. I just wish he's hurry up and send it, so it'll officially be done, and I can start over. Maybe with a real lawyer this time.

i agree. its so frustrating im a leg amputee, psoriatic arthritis, ptsd, i could go on and on. my denial stated there was no way i could do any past work i had done, but they had ONE job listed i could do i looked up the job code and it was a small parts seperator at a desk. any little thing to turn you down

Thoughtful, considerate, compassionate, understanding. Stopped the hearing in the middle and awarded benefits on the spot. Being well prepared obviously bore fruit.

After an application process that lasted years, I had just about lost any hope of getting SSDI. I was very very nervous about the hearing, especially after reading the reviews about Judge Zellman on this site, but he was understanding and fair. My lawyer was a great help and support to me as well. I made it through the hearing and anxiously awaited the judge's decision, which came a few weeks later. I was very grateful and relieved to have been awarded SSDI benefits. I wanted to write about my experience to give people hope who are still struggling. Don't give up!

The first Judge I saw over a year ago had a approved rating of over 20%. This judge Well.... 34. Denial at 46% and dismissal at 20%. Meaning- GOOD LUCK PAL. I will say this judge seems knowledgeable. However, I provided several pages of documents from the VA over 1400 pages- and I am RATED 100 % DISABLED BY THE VA VA disabled. YET- SOCIAL SECURITY finds I can work. And this judge seems to find the same thing. So heres my options. I can appeal. Well---- Guess what, this veteran is going to appeal. I have provided stacks and stacks of documents. I read what your feedback said- you discredited my doctors. REALLY? People that talked me out of suicide. You never once asked me what I do in a day. I saw something in my review about cooking cookies. I haven't cooked anything in over 9 months. I almost burned the house down on more than one occasion. And I don't feed my dogs. You never asked me what I do. I sit and stare at the floor. People that reviewed my file said I grocery shop- I have not done this in close to a year. I do not leave the home only once a week to go to a apnt with the doctor. You said you had no evidence to support the claim of migraines. Well- request it? I can provide it. Your people discredited doctors at the va and the vet center. People that have degrees and are professionals and only treat vets with ptsd, anxiety disorder, and tbi- when I saw these people I was never told "Oh by the way the social security administration does not recognize us as creditable doctors?" WELL WHO DO YOU ? I AM RATED 100% disabled through the VA disabled for gods sake. What more do you need? I was told I can appeal my decision. Or file a new one. Well guess what- I am appealing. Its going to the feds to decide. I believe you were wrong. What is sad, is now..... I have to wait another year to hear something. Shame on you. And shame on that last judge. I had a lawyer. I had stacks upon stacks. Proof. Yet you said I could carry on a conversation. We met for what? A hour. Come to my home. Sit with me for the afternoon. Spend the day with me. Spend the night with me. Talk to my former employer.Talk to former friends. I have none now. But talk to former friends. Talk to my wife. Talk to my kids. Get answers. You would see- You made the wrong decisions. I hope you sleep well tonight. Karma is well- you know what
