This judge has NO medical background NOR training in disability!!! A disgrace to people that their lives depend on help rightfully due to them and this "judge" has NO!!! idea what she's doing. She caused me MORE grief and pain in my journey thru this process. SS should be ashamed that they have such a person representing them. I hope they aren't all like this and some body please send her to school and the correct protocol to determine major decisions like SS disability for humans !!!! My doctor couldn't even understand what she wrote !!! She babbles on and on and contradicts herself to a point thats it comical. Get her off the board!!!! My case is now going on 4 yrs!! Due to back up and a judge that doesn't know what she's reading or doing.

The worst ALJ ever! If you are collecting unemployment, you might as well withdraw. She is not nice to client, rep, hearing recorder or any experts. She deffenetly uses her power in an abusive way.

She is rude, disrespectful and snotty to everyone. Not even close to being fair. Doesn't know what she is doing. Puts you through the ringer and then kicks you some more. Ridiculous is the best adjective to describe it.

For the person who commented, "If you are collecting unemployment, you might as well withdraw" actually is correct because when you apply for unemployment you are stating you can work but have no job and you are actively looking for one so, if you are collecting it and filing for disability, there is some fraudulent behavior going on. You can either work or you're disable. Be grateful the judge doesn’t cite you for lying in court.

To "An Observer of Comments": Your comments are very ill-informed. First, SSR 13-1p states, "[p]ossible examples of allegations that the Appeals Council will refer to the Division of Quality Service include, 'the ALJ is biased against claimants who receive workers compensation benefits or unemployment benefits' . . . ." Second, when an individual applies for unemployment benefits he/she is not saying that they are "ready, willing, and able" to perform work eight-hours a day, five-days per week -- the standard used by the SSA.

I am a disabled veteran rated at 100% PTSD, Panic Disorder, and major depression, and other things. Veteran's affairs added Individual Unemployability and Permanent & Total which means I am unable to work and that my condition is permanent and not going to get better. Had hearing this week. I hope all goes well. If I'm denied, I will be in shock, but I will take it to next level and appeal. I will post again when I receive my decision from her. I've worked hard hard all my life and fought for my country and I suffer everyday from war trauma. I felt uncomfortable in court and had extreme anxiety and depression the rest of the day from that experience.

Judge Barbeito presided over my case (remand)and I am thankful that she did. She was straight-forward and respectful allowing me, in company with my attorney, to address each issue fully. Finally, I knew my case had been heard.

I'm a lawyer who has attended thousands of hearings. This ALJ is the most disgusting excuse for a judge, let alone lawyer, I've ever met. I pray she will be removed from the bench.

Great Judge. 100% fair in my complex case. She made it possible for me to have surgery. I was in a really bad situation. She set up a re-evaluation date and provided enough time for surgical recovery. Oh yea.. I almost forgot. I am a Workers Comp claimant. Thank you Judge Betty Roberts Barbeito. You saved me !!

The single most incompetent judge in the 9th. An absolute joke and should have her position revoked along with her license.

I agree, Barbeito is horrid. I was set up for a teleconference hearing. The proctors could not get the equipment working properly, so there was a delay starting. Then she went to a doctor who is a board-certified pulmonologist, although my issues are fibromyalgia and extreme arthritis. Most of the hearing was given over to that quack, who made the most ludicrous comments I have ever heard from a so-called doctor. Then she went to the vocational expert who said his piece. Then there was a fire scare and everybody had to abandon the building. I was unable to ask any questions or argue any point. She asked me two questions: 1) what makes you think YOU are disabled, and 2) are you seeing a psychiatrist. I tried to explain that I was between psychs, as I get my care through the VA and the psych I have been seeing had left and no replacement had yet been hired. When I tried to explain that, she immediately cut me off saying, YES OR NO???? She did ultimately grant a PARTIAL approval, which gave me zero back pay and zero for the lawyers fee. But I had to take it because otherwise, I could have ended up with nothing. I have now been off work for 3.5 years, from a job, which, by the way, I LOVED and hated to retire from. My HR manager asked me to stay, and when I explained to him which I was going through, he TOLD me to leave and file for SSDI. To make it even worse, my last employer was the Department of Defense, another federal agency! I left in Dec of 2013 and have yet to receive a penny of SSDI, because, of course, the three years before my hearing date didn't count, so now I am waiting out my five month waiting period. This whole process was a cruel joke. So glad I worked for 45 years, frequently two jobs at time, paying all of my taxes to be treated like criminal by the likes of Barbeito.

I'm suffering from bipolar, depression, anxiety and agoraphobia. The call from the doctor was not correct for my other disability blephorspasm but I am hoping judge Barbeito can see my struggles.

I need to state who ever that doctor is that called I'm about my blephorspasm needs to get his facts straight of what the disease is he is misinformed I hope the other SSDI doctors are more intelligent After this doctor called I was schocked and became so stressed. This is what Blephorspasm: Blepharospasm is abnormal contraction of the eyelid muscles. It often refers to benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) which is a bilateral condition and a form of focal dystonia leading to episodic closure of the eyelids.May 7, 2017 Blepharospasm is abnormal contraction of the eyelid muscles. It often refers to benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) which is a bilateral condition and a form of focal dystonia leading to episodic closure of the eyelids. The exact cause of BEB is unknown and, by definition, it is not associated with another disease entity or syndrome. Symptoms usually begin as mild and infrequent spasms that progress over time to forceful and frequent contractures of the eyelids, in advanced cases causing functional blindness from inability to temporarily open the eyes. The treatment of choice for BEB is periodic injection of botulinum toxin into the orbicularis oculi muscle. BEB is a clinical diagnosis and must be distinguished from secondary blepharospasm, which can occur in association with a syndrome, movement disorder, or a specific ocular disease such as in reflex blepharospasm secondary to ocular irritation. History is very important in making the diagnosis, and it also allows the clinician to distinguish between primary (essential) and secondary blepharospasm. In BEB, excessive blinking, which may start as unilateral and mild twitches, progresses to bilateral frequent and more forceful spasms. During severe episodes a patient may report the inability to pry the eyelids open. Episodes may interfere with the patient’s daily activities, such as reading and driving. The spasms disappear during sleep and may be reduced when concentrating on a specific task. In secondary etiologies, the patient may offer a history of drug use as with tardive dyskinesia, of ocular irritation from light or dry eye as in reflex blepharospasm, of associated facial grimacing as in Meige syndrome, or a history of other abnormal movements such as tics or cogwheeling of the neck and extremities in extrapyramidal disease states.

Dear Judge Barbeito I hope you read this. You are reviewing my case. My symptoms are getting worse I have bipolar, depression and anxiety which cannot be denied in my record. I also receive Botox on my eyes by a neurologist now before it was a opthomoligist. The neurologist on the phone needs to know what Blephorspasm is before saying anything else my neurologist will say differently. I will reaply if denied due to my severe disabilities.

so i went to my hearing with judge calabro, i had mri reports, and loads of other evidence and was still denied. this judge messed up in the hearing ( was reading off another persons case and had to be told he was doing so)then i was denied and the decision legal document that you receive in the mail had errors as well. i do not believe i was given a fair hearing as i question this judges ability to accurately and justly Handel cases. these are peoples lives they deal with and i know must appeal and could take another year of pain and suffering. this judge should be removed from odar if he makes mistakes of this calibur.

Went before ODAR Calabro on 07/07/2014. And still have not heard anything back. I declared a "dire needs" back on 02/26/2014 because I have been out with permanent injury since 11/2009. That has made no difference. It's only me, and I have lost my home, cashed in and spent any retirement I had, owe the IRS over $10,000, so they have taken everything else, can't pay for medical care, so not getting any, went to see a Dr. that SSDI requested I see, that Dr. shook his head and said he can't figure out what SSDI is waiting on. I can see the writing on the wall.....I'm going to be one of the 66 percent that really will die, but is going to be thrown under the bus to maintain the national average of 44 percent "approved". I started working and paying into SS in 1973, and paid in for nearly 40 years. Just needing to get back some of what I paid in. I'm not some "illegal" looking to get a free ride out of the system.

So, the best piece of advice I can give anyone going to argue their case before the judge would be this, submit evidence to win your case. I was applying because of epilepsy. While there, I felt the Judge was looking to see a paper trail of evidence that showed my frequent hospital visits. If your at the stage where you're about to appeal your case before a judge, I would advise trying to show how much your disability is effecting your day to day life with hard facts. Maybe stay away from testimony your giving by saying "I feel like" etc. Although, I am no expert. And TBH I did say "I feel like" quite a bit, but I do know that several times he mentioned how important my records were in his ruling. I would have given 5 stars but I felt that since he approved me, my opinion of him would be slanted in his favor.

It is hard to look in the mirror and say there is no fight left. My back problems plagued me my entire adult life. Then to add all the other health issues made my fight overwhelming. I had problem with my lawyers until Danelle Campbell came into my life. To say I was nervous and anxious the day I went to my hearing is an under statement of great magnitude and in walked Judge Calabro. He is imposing when you first see him. But he was quick to put me at ease. Through the course of the hearing he impressed me by his comments regarding my back injury. He had obviously read the small book of reports. He asked questions and explained why he was asking the specific questions. He gave my lawyer time to ask questions. He was kind and non accusatory. My advice to anyone coming before him is make sure you have as much history as possible. Try to stay composed but if you can't ask him to take a minute to get it together. Have a lawyer that is prepared. He didn't tell me his decision which is a bit unnerving but my lawyer said he wouldn't. However I believe he truly understands the importance of his role in people's lives and acts accordingly.

This judge was great she actually listened to what I had to say and actually made her decision from what was in the medical record and what my dr had said.I had a previous hearing with a different judge who was very combative and just went by the ss a examiner's who never met me. She wrote she didn't believe my dr or what was in the medical record. Thank you judge Cyrus you have made a huge difference

It took me three years and a lot of my own energy and work due to slack on my attorneys part to get my SSDI approved. Judge sarah Cyrus is my heroine because she pointed out to me that my attorney’s had been “waiting” my case out for max payment. Due to their negligence I’m sorry to say I will be losing my left lower leg. But judge Cyrus personally set up my SSA appt and expedited my insurance so I could finnaly get the help I deserved. If I could take to dinner anyone in the world, dead or alive, I would choose judge Cyrus because decent people are scarce. Thank you for your service you give me hope that there are people out there that care.

Judge Sarah Cyrus is my hero that made me believe there are still good people in the world. As soon as she saw the negligence of my SSDI attorneys waiting for the maximum payment after they had a letter in their hand stating I would have both of my legs amputated if treatment was not expedited Judge Sarah Cyrus went to work immediately. When I contacted her assistant she personally set up appointment for me at SSA and I had my disability insurance the next day so that I could get the treatment that I needed. Judge sarah Cyrus is an angel in my book.

This guy doesn't have a clue. That he has been appointed to this type of position without having any background in Social Security law is a testament of all that's wrong with the federal judiciary. Unfortunately, the bottom line here is that he simply isn't very smart. His decisions repeatedly ignore the issues critical to just resolution of the claimants' respective claims and typically go off on irrational and bizarre tangents. He has no idea how to conduct a hearing in a timely manner and is incapable of focusing in on questions that bear some materiality to the issues at hand. God help you if you draw this moron as your judge because you will need all the hope He can provide you.

Very smart judge and very competent. Decisions are fair, objective, and well-reasoned. He takes the time to hear the issues and renders solid decisions.

Just had a hearing with him recently here in KY. I would call it more of an interrogation than hearing. I have worked 30 plus years. I do not feel it was necessary to be such an ***. Had no idea I was going to need every detail of my conditions, when I saw what Dr. When each pain started. I thought OAL would tell him all of that. Honestly I think my "non attorney spokesperson" was afraid of him. He made me feel totally unprepared and small. Had I known I need all the info for my "informal" hearing, I could have had it in front of me. The vocational expert had no idea of what my actual job was like, just the profession in general and she was a ditz. I am not asking for anything I havent paid into and deserve.

It was nice to see this judge seemed to care and actually spent the time to try and understand my issues and why I in front of him instead of an "in-out" case like ordering a meal at mcdonalds.

I think this judge is bias he had no clue as to my disabilities his decision was based on the fact of my age and education which has no bearing on my disability. I didn't find him to be caring or compassionate but on defense because I have an education and because of my age which I find unfair when all medical evidence shows that I'm unable to find gainful employment. As you can see from his statistics he denies a lot so the people saying he caring and compassion is absurd. Written on behalf of the claimant he couldn't keep focus but this is how he feels. Good luck to those that go before he you better be dang near dead before he approves you.

I saw this judges and was denied due to lies in my medical records. Like going to the gym. Lying that i Volunteer ing at my kids school never did you have to fill out a form to do that never been a volunteer no where. Dressing causal I have been wearing dresses all my life. So I should have been fake and dress the way people think I should look. And when he read your medical records he don't understand that when you go the doctor for your check up you may not have sweeling in your feet that day it does not mean you don't have legs problem. It ask how are you feeling right now do if you get this judge good luck To think everything I said happended to make was a lie. I no longer trust anyone after this day I was told in conseling to give people a change and be nice not anger. That's leads to lies and people watching you at your doctors office and changing words to them asking what where you like before you got sick. I use to be very bubbly got turned into I'm bubbly and I go to the gym three times a week and run on treadmill for 20 mins not of this is true. I was disgusted after reading your denial and lies and yes when I first got sick I could not remember words and read well but I tried hard like I'm doing today and yes I did not have insurance at once point I was going to the clinic for care. I no longer trust anyone and will need more council after this. Thanks for taking away my disability and my medicare that was helping me get better. Good well done I'm pretty sure social security is happy with and your lies that's not true. Nurses should stop asking patient question and lying on them it should be against the law the lies that get put in your records. I will say that you did listen to me at the hearing and seem to understand but never ask me about all the lies you put in the denial letter how can you denied someone on what someone else said. I know the system is messed up when they put in my medical records I was dress causal . I was dress casual for the hearing and all I wear is dresses I should be able to wear what i feel comfortable in it has nothing to do with my health. Whatever I put it on or someone else put it on me how is this right nursing watching and report the wrong thing. When they see you suffer and they have to give you emegency blood presdure meds. They wont remember to put that. need to put in the medical records to help your disability they don't. Thanks for helping me. Also because you did not get the counseling medical records I don't need to lie about going to counsel to you judge and me getting married I been with my husband 21 years we was to get married the same week I got sick so I got married after what does that have to do with my disability did social cut him a check no. He been working since he's 16 and he been on his job for 21 years he not looking for handouts. I was disgusted with the lies please research because you lie and send disgusting letters to someone who did not deserve it all have done this entire time is work on my health went to every doctors appointment unless I could not make it. Im doing all I can to get better I need need lies to stop. You should have call the school and they would have told you I never help there and curves I don't go there and never had a member ship with them ever the nurse was talking about curve. I wish I could run on a treadmill for 20 mins. I was denied because of all these lies I wish I was giving the opportunity to answer these question I was not asked about these lies I wonder why.?

His approval rating will fall into the 30s soon. Having practiced SSD law for over 30 years, I knew when I first appeared in front of him my claims were heading toward Appeals Council. He takes over the hearing and asks leading questions of your claimant that are calculated to provide the answers he wants to find against him or her. Now that the law allows judges like him to apply great weight to the opinions of the consultants, he will and already has utilized that rule to increase your client's RFC to a level that conveniently results in an unfavorable or partially favorable decision with no back pay. He will ignore additional limitations when he constructs his RFC and frames his hypothetical questions. Be ready to respond to this by crossing the vocational expert and point to specific exhibit numbers as the basis for additional limitations. You have to get your file ready for Federal Court as his denials are often no based on substantial evidence.

You will lose with this judge. Be prepared for an appeal. He clearly is looking to deny. Not fair or impartial. With an approval rating under 38% is well under the National Average. I hope he enjoys remands because they are coming his way.

This judge takes over the hearing and questions your client in such a way so that he can justify the Unfavorable Decision. Even with remands, he looks for holes to fill to justify another denial. Look out. He has an agenda. He was in the 40s when he started in Orlando and is now at 37%. That approval percentage is going to continue to decline.

How any could give this judge five stars is beyond me. You will lose 90% of the time in front of this judge. Anyone under the age of 50 doesn't have a chance. He will deny homeless claimants and veterans with 100% disability rates. He just doesn't care. I predict his approvals will ultimately be as low as Judge Neal.

This judge is very offensive and rude.Her approval rating is the lowest of all the judges on Staff at the Mt Pleasant office. She will make you feel like the lowest form of human life at the end of the day.She will diminish any facts you present her.And twist it to make it available for a her to make a unfavorable ruling.Had I known that this judge had a 75% disapproval rate. I would had insisted my attorney get a different judge to preside over my case.This judge will wound your Character.Good Luck with her

Judge Eiler was the second judge I've seen. The appeals council remanded my case after a hearing with Judge Gruenberg. Both ladies were polite and respectful, but after going through this process for four years, I am both disillusioned and shocked. I'm expecting to be denied yet again, but I haven't been able to hold a job since 2011 and prior to that, lost two jobs because of my disability. My health issues keep me from functioning properly every day. I have a college degree and an excellent work history, but since I am only 39, my chances of being approved are nil. I've been told by lawyers and doctors that I will be approved "someday" because my health problems warrant disability, but that my age is the determining factor. In addition, I have a chronic pain condition, which is terribly difficult to prove. I am sad and frustrated by this process and only wish to get the help I need, until doctors can find a treatment that will allow me to work. I know what these judges do is very difficult, but making decisions based on a file and a very few minutes spent with the claimant is a very poor way to ensure good decisions. All I can do now is hope that Judge Eiler could somehow understand who I am, what I experience and why this is so important to my future and general well-being. I will always keep fighting to find a way to be a contributing member of society, but I desperately need some support until I can once again support myself.
Judge Eiler was the second judge I've seen. The appeals council remanded my case after a hearing with Judge Gruenberg. Both ladies were polite and respectful, but after going through this process for four years, I am both disillusioned and shocked. I'm expecting to be denied yet again, but I haven't been able to hold a job since 2011 and prior to that, lost two jobs because of my disability. My health issues keep me from functioning properly every day. I have a college degree and an excellent work history, but since I am only 39, my chances of being approved are nil. I've been told by lawyers and doctors that I will be approved "someday" because my health problems warrant disability, but that my age is the determining factor.

This judge does not review all medical evidence and just sides with state physicians. I have over 7 doctors showing I am disabled but the physician for the state says I'm not disabled and this is the one report she has based her opinion on. She picks and chooses statements. On the state report, it says I'm vegetative but my anxiety is a little better. She ignored the vegetative part and says "I'm better". How can a vegetative person work? She is extremely biased in her ruling. Avoid this judge at all costs!

I had a hearing with Judge Fulcher, and he seemed to be kind, respectful, & well-organized. He was much nicer to me than my own paralegal was! I do hope to get a decision soon, though. It definitely worsens my mental health disabilities to struggle so hard financially!

I finally made it to the ALJ Hearing, and felt hopeful that I'd have a favorable decision. I had a diagnosis of my mental health disabilities from several doctors, and an extensive report from my psychiatrist stating that I am unable to work. I follow through with my therapy, and medications, and go to my appointments twice a week. I'm battling as hard as I can! I have no other income other than child support, and have been unable to work for three years. All of the guidelines for SSI are covered, and I was still turned down! I've only recently felt less suicidal ideation, and today was the first day in weeks that it started making sense to me again. I hope I have the strength to appeal this huge mess Mr. Fulcher made out of my life. I clearly should be receiving benefits, and if I can't continue to fight PTSD, GAD, & Major Depression along with poverty, he will be the one to blame.

If you are assigned this judge try to request another! He denies reports written by medical professionals... based on personal opinions! How is that even legal? Why bother even providing records if he's allowed to dismiss them? This judge is an ******** **** who was probably ****** out of medical school himself.

Judge Fulcher is low key in hearings. So low key in fact he is almost robotic. Never changes his facial expressions. You'll never know if you're winning or losing in there. You'll probably lose. One of the toughest judges in Orlando. Prepare your case for appeal at the hearing.

I had my hearing before Judge Fulcher in July, never met anyone more kind, compassionate, honest and fair. If you are indeed qualified for Social Security benefits, he will grant you approval

Inconsistent in her rulings. She gets remanded by the Appeals Counsel often. A judge you can't trust to rule correctly. If your client is under the age of 50, she will find a way to deny the claim. By far one of the more unfair judges on the bench.

Thanks for chiming in with you self-assessment, Pamela. Those who have seen your often poorly reasoned denials would quarrel that you are "very fine" or "one of the best in Orlando."

I have worked with Judge Houston for quite a few years, and have found her work to be some of the best around. She knows the law and knows how to apply it. However, there are a couple of representatives that go to the Orlando office who are terribly sub-par and lack knowledge as to how to present a case. They try to schmooze their way through cases with the judges. It's apparent that the comments above derive from one of these representatives who fails to realize his own shortcomings. Look at her percentages above! She doesn't have as many denials as other judges. It's probably the representative trying to make his quick $6,000. And because she didn't approve his case, he pouted and decided to make derogatory comments about the judge.

Those are fair comments about her stats. Frankly, I have personally been before Judge Houston with very borderline cases. So, I do not endorse the comments of someone else on here who alleged inconsistency in her rulings. I've seen no evidence of that. My specific critique is limited to how I think Social Security Ruling 96-7p should be applied--specifically: all materially relevant testimony should be referenced and discussed in making credibility determinations. Of course, many if not most ALJs give this rule somewhat summary treatment at times. For the record, she is very polite to representatives and clients, and allows representatives to fully state their case. I retract a prior statement I made on this thread which was mainly tongue and cheek, responding to a posting on 3/22 that I found a little too saccharin.

If you smoke and have pulmonary issues, she'll deny you. If you smoke and have cardiac conditions she'll deny you. She once said in a decision (that the claimants read, by the way) that because the claimant attempted suicide, but failed, it couldn't have been as serious as alleged. The reason she appears nice during the hearing is largely because she's not listening to what's being said. She's already made up her mind. She must have been trained by ALJ Jones. And she has a young son... is she raising him to be a miserable person too?

As I perused these comments, which gave me a good hearty laugh, I thought I'd do something generous for my bretheren. Let me start by saying that I don't always agree with this judge, but at least I've been smart enough to know how to present a case to her. Let me help you out. Don't expect her to do your work for you. Do not allow your arrogance to over shadow your ability to ask relevant questions. She doesn't care who helps your client with daily activities. And she'll probably tell you that. Focus on what your client does. If your client says they do nothing all day, she won't believe it. She'll believe that they do what everyone else does, but that they struggle. Don't walk in not knowing your evidence. She reviews it ahead of time and is well versed in much of it before you walk in. When you say she's already made up her mind, I don't completely agree with that. I say that because she has an idea of what she'll do because she's reviewed the evidence- she's an evidence judge- all judges do that. But, if you point to the record and show how findings are consistent, she will hear you out. She expects really good evidence, which we don't always have, but I think she's starting to recognize how bad doctor's notes in Florida can be. Be advised she was a med mal trial attorney for many years, so she's got a grip on medical records. If you leave the hearing relying only on your client's testimony and the medical evidence, you've not done your job. The evidence, many times, can be weak. So, start out by being very direct about the evidence. She will appreciate that. Point to evidence that is consistent. Don't expect her to wrap it up in a pretty bow for you. I agree that younger claimants may have a harder time in front of her. She's tough. But, try a different approach. Simple, direct, wrap it up with VALID references to the record. And, ask reasonable hypotheticals that are supported by the medical evidence. Again- tie it to the record. Also, don't tell your client to moan and groan during the hearing. Be honest about drug and alcohol use. I know an attorney in her office who says she is incredibly diligent in what goes into her decisions. I've had smokers before her, and haven't experienced the problems that are on this site, but I think you all need to understand/change how you are presenting your evidence. The reason I submitted this is because I think these comments on here are entirely undeserved. Probably 10% of the statements on here are true, the rest are from mere frustration. Regardless, taking personal shots at this judge's family are down right rude, unprofessional and give our profession a bad name. So, take a deep breath and take my advise above. Focus on the evidence, not a wish. I will clarify that I don't always like her decisions- but I will admit I've had some on the fence cases as well. I've been doing better since I tweaked my presentation. In all honesty, I do NOT mind at all appearing in her courtroom anytime.

I had her today and I have to say no matter what she rules she was kind and respectful to me. I will keep fighting and going on. She didn't make me feel like a number today. I appreciated that. I am young so I fear that was a problem especially since reading these notes but in case I know how I feel and I felt like she listen to me and didn't make me feel like I was crazy.

I am 30 with severe epilepsy. Ms. Houston was nothing but respectful and kind during my hearing. She noticed the small seizures I had during the hearing. Although I had not been able to see many doctors for treatment she said she was fully approving my claim and she told me to see a good neurologist as soon as possible and she hopes I found some relief soon. She was the first person to care about my disability since filing for ssi/ssdi 2 years ago. She did more than approve me. She validated my condition without dehumanizing me. A MILLION THANK YOUS!

Not sure what to say here..some days she's great, somedays LOOK OUT! Thankfully, there seems to be more good days than bad. She'll be wanting an opening if your the rep of record. She'll probably ask the rep to do the majority of the questioning. Occasionally she will interupt and take over the questioning herself. Sometimes if she's going to award the case she will say so right then and make it short and this is appreicated. She looks at her computer screena nd types a lot so don't be discouraged if she isn't making eye contact with you. Three stars for inconsistent rulings. Two stars for doing the right thing when she gets remanded.

If Judge Houston does not ask the VE anything in a SSI case after a 45 min hearing is that usually a favorable or denied case?

What a wonderful, compassionate, yet fair judge. All of the Orlando ALJs are outstanding, but she stands out among them. As others have said, she is well prepared, and expects the rep to conduct the bulk of the questioning. She takes an interest in the claimant and does the right thing.

Judge (Pamela Houston) who was kind enough to consider my claim. It's been a long, hard battle to endure pain, mental instability and extreme hardship after not getting a fair shake or much help elsewhere even with a clean background and military service. Pamela has allowed me a chance to recover some of my life back and I will definitely utilize the opportunity wisely. I wish the justice system at every level had more like her and my attorney (Danelle Campbell). They both have my sincere gratitude. Thank you kindly.

Today I had a hearing concerning my case, she listened to my Lawyer, she did treat me with respect, and did have Eye contact with me, she needed some missing records to make her decision, I believe she is one of the best in her Field, and is caring to the individuals who really need help,she is honest, for me polite, very professional in conduct in the hearing room,I felt relaxed, and confident that her judgement will be fair and definitely according to the law. I appreciated that fact, as they say honesty is the best policy and that is I believe her to be.

Approved for SSI by a Adjudicator.Had hearing with Judge Houston for SSDI she denied me for SSDI which right away when I walked into her courtroom I already knew that she would deny me for SSDI but never thought I would lose my SSI she said I should have never been approved for SSI to begin with said in her decision.Well if Judge Houston would have actually read the same records that the Adjudicator read she would have seen that from 2011 -2018 that I was admitted to the hospital 147 times for my COPD attacks that is why the adjudicator approved my SSI and actually the day that he called to approve me he had to call me at the hospital my daughter gave him the room number and the hospital number and that’s how I was approved from a hospital bed because I had a COPD attack.That is why I was approved for SSI.

Unbelievable. Just wanted yes or no answers. My attorney, who by the way never said one word, informed me the night before that she didn't want to hear any stories. So never really got a chance to explain anything . Whenever I tried she just said to me" Is your answer yes or no?" Terribly unfair. So I had an awful attorney and a terrible judge. THis is the most screwed up system I have ever been unfortunate to be a part of.

She presided over an appeals hearing of mine. The only time she even looked at me was when I was leaving. The rest of the time, she sat smugly behind her computer screen, occasionally shaking her head in apparent "disdain". It was obvious she had already "judged" my case. If you get this woman, I pity you. She shouldn't even be on the bench!

Back to being how she was denying 65% of those who come before her. She's down to 36% approval and uses the state agency doctors as a basis to deny your claim, despite the fact that the treating doctors fill out Mental or Physical RFC forms stating your client is disabled from all work. Get ready for the Appeals Counsel and Federal Court with this judge.

Her approval rating is in the 30% range. She used to be near 50% but since the law changed she uses the consultative reports as a basis to deny the claim. Get your case ready for appeals council as she has her mind made up before you enter the court room.

Be on guard for the poorly crafted and very confusing questions she poses to Vocational Experts. Because consultative examiners and DDS documents are sacred to her, you must undermine the credibility of those exhibits to stand a chance with Judge Jones. However, if you sufficiently undermine the qualifications of a CE examiner or point to inconsistencies in a state agency consultant's findings, she will listen if you press these issues sufficiently.

Claimant survived lung cancer in 2003- chemo port pierced her heart and she devloped cardiac conditions that led to her filing for disability. UF with ALJ Murray (good riddance), got Jones on remand. After requesting all kinds of records prior to the claimant's onset date, and other things both relevant and not relevant, we got all the records and submitted them. Claimant diagnosed with cancer again. Died. Almost one year after the hearing, the ALJ issued a partially favorable decision- granting benefits the date of her 50th birthday, which was two months before she died. Her son will get ZERO benefits because of this decision. I don't know how this woman lives with herself and can sleep at night.

She's nice until the recording starts then her personality changes. Be prepared for lots of sighing and eye rolling as well as shaking her head. If you are lucky enough to not get any of that be prepared for her looking at you like you have three heads. 32% approval will tell you she doesn't believe you and you will be denied. She would be better suited in a job she doesn't hate. That way she wouldn't take her frustrations out on the people who appear in front of her.

Hope you never have this ALJ. Can you believe that she approved our case with a future onset-date? Claimant has been disabled since 2010, and though ALJ approved the case she said that he has not been disabled until after the hearing. This ALJ should be sent home.

This judge is condescending and cold on agood day. Previous posters are right- be prepared for lots of eye rolling, sighs, and looks of exasperation directed toward both you and your client. She seems to scratch the bottom of the barrell to look for ways that she can deny a claim. It would seem in her eyes that no one is disabled unless they die and reading some of these posts it seems not even that matters to her.

Eye-rolling and exasperation are indeed hallmarks. She likes to make unlettered, suffering clients cry. One poor illiterate client was asked "When did you become disabled?" Unfortunately, he does not know about how we set alleged onset dates. He answered, "I don't rightly know, ma'am". She thundered abusively at him "WELL, if you don't know, how am I supposed to know?" I don't care if she abuses attorneys--we're getting paid, but these clients are vulnerable and suffering when they walk in. How dare she be so callous? She is sadistic and has anger-issues which have nothing to do with the clients or the attorneys. She is a disgrace to the office.

Famous for her eye rolling and exasperated sighing, if you have been assigned to this ALJ, be ready for that. Don't take it personally, it's just her lovely personality. Her stats are low for a reason: she wants to deny the case. She will use the ability to drive a car as a reason for denying a case. That and watching TV, fixing a sandwich, and checking emails. Apparently, claimants for disability benefiits are paid for out of Judge Jones own checking account and she doesn't want to pay. Zero stars for zero tact and even worse judgement.

She is aweful! She won't let you speak to explain your situation whatsoever. She wants yes or no answers and even when you think you've answered correctly, she will yell at you. She will use anything and everything against you avoiding what your doctor and the medical records read. She rolls her eyes, shakes her head at you and yells at you. I don't wish this judge on anyone and wish she was removed! I was told by my attorney she is the worst judge anyone can possibly have.

25 years as an VE. Judge Jones is top of my list. She functions on the bench as all ALJs should act. The job is not hand holding or being your momma. Act like an adult in this court.

Had my appeal hearing today. From the word GO, she was so condescending, rude, and unprofessional. She is everything everyone said she'd be. She did the eye rolling, cutting you off mid sentence, and shaking her head. She immediately makes you feel unwelcome and like a 2nd class citizen. She was so mean and nasty. I am SO disappointed. I could not afford an attorney, and I now see this was a huge mistake. I didn't get a decision yet, so I am assuming its no. 26 years of severe inflammatory arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am basically crippled and she looked at me as if I were lying., even with orthropaedic surgeorn report saying I need bilateral knee replacements and ankle fusion from all the damage the arthritis has done. I waited 2 years for that hearing and she looked at me as if to say "get out of here and stop wasting my time'. I will be reporting her;

Judge Jones is the worst judge ever! With an attitude like hers, she really needs to leave the bench and pursue a career that is more in line with her disposition - driving a city bus comes to mind. Between her constant eye rolling, head shaking and sighing and her devil-may-care approach to her job, she has no place making decisions that affect the lives of so many people. Cold, unprofessional, cynical, and with a record of approving only a third of the claimants who go before her, she needs to be replaced. Her time has come.

I won't even call her a Judge, she's discriminating, ridiculing and down right ruthless! I filed a complaint about her a couple years ago, and hope that's why there's no statistic's for her in 2016. Hopefully she was fired because she's a disgrace to all Judges and the system. God don't like ugly! ( meaning mean )

Very nice judge. Have your case up to date. This will expedite your decision. Explains what will take place and that he is trying to get to know the claimant a bit better. Wants the claimant to be at ease and reassures them some duringthe hearing if he sees they are getting restless or nervous. He will be familiar with the evidence to be sure. Again, have all of your recent medical records in the file before the hearing!

Just have one question, when they are sending out the written decisions. Do they type like one word a day. You are told it takes 60 days to receive a decision that is basically boiler plate in design. Is this a federal mandate to see if the claimant will die before any funds are paid.

This Judge is very competent and fair. He treated me fairly and looked at my entire case. After waiting over 2 years to get this far, this Judge was quick and fair. He had already reviewed my case prior to my arrival, was ready to ask relevant questions he had. He gave me a verbal decision on my case, so now I am just waiting on the formal approval. I am glad that we have such a hard working and fair judge here in Orlando.

I salute you Judge LaBoda, for standing and fighting alongside with us, the military veterans. I thank you not only for your high degree of professionalism, but also for your compassion and care toward the military veterans. I am an US Army veteran with 2 combat deployments. Our lives, after we return from a deployment is never the same. We lose friends, we get tired, we get lonely, we get depressed, we question if we will come home standing or being carried by six people. We worry about those we love, our children and spouses. But yet, we must be strong for the man on our left and the man on our right. But once we come back, there is another long war against suicide, depression, and many mental and physical challenges. Thank you again Judge LaBoda...and God Bless you!!!

Judge Landrum.....is not a fair judge he is very judgemental and does not go by or care about the person in front if him. Judge Landrum only looks at you and makes a decision by how you look. He does not care about medical records but only his own opinion. His ruling is unjust and absolutely makes no sense and would rather you struggle to keep fighting and making your medical issues even worse then when you started. Does not care about your own dr's and there opinion but only cares of opinion of the "bullcrap social security dr's who by the way never seen you or examined you asked you any questions but there opinion is greatly taken into consideration. But your Dr's who see you in person on a regular basis he doesn't give two craps about there opinion. He takes his power to another level and it's completely unfair. If you have him as your judge good luck cause you probably gonna have to fight the case all the way to federal court and don't give up cause that's what he wants.

Judge Landrum is a very fair and thorough Judge. He's very easy to talk to and he listens carefully to what you have to say. If you truly are disabled and you're honest with him, he will give you a fair decision. I am happy to have had Judge Landrum as my judge.

Judge Landrum thanks for being the worst judge ever....he is very unfair does not care and he judges you before you come in his court room. Called myself, my wife, and all my medical doctors 3 of them Liars. So we all got together and said we are all got together and made up lies about my disability including 3 medical Drs. I am medically retired from 2 government agencies which you need hard evidence to get that and Mr. Land rum who is a judge not a medical provider stated I can work even after all evidence and vocational expert stated nothing I can do. Great job Mr. Landrum or Dr Landrum.

My closet friend is going before this judge in the future and I am happy to hear he is easy to talk too. She has difficulty speaking because she suffers from severe insomnia. I have been praying for an impartial person to hear her case and a just decision to be made. She is the most honest person I know.

If she feels sorry for your claimant, she'll approve. She's very nice- VERY soft-spoken, hard to hear. She does a lot of eye-rolling, but don't take it personally- I think it's a tic?

Judge was very impersonal very little to no eye contact just stared at her computer the whole time. I was prepared and my case was strong but obviously she already had her mind made up to deny my case from the beginning. I did notice her approval rate dropped substantially in the last 6 months. I will also say there were many inconsistencies and false assumptions in the final decision. I had plenty of objective evidence that was totally ignored. This whole process is just a wait you out game where the hopes are you will either just die or finally give up. It been almost 3 years of long hard road but I won't give up as I have no other options.

I found her to be fair and soft spoken as others say. Best advice I can give is be Honest, Don't Exaggerate your conditions, and look at her when you are talking. Answer her questions truthfully and clearly and I promise you it will go a long way with her. These judges see hundreds of cases, and if you don't follow this advise, your chances of getting approved will be Very Slim to None. Have good medical records that cover your conditions, and a prepared Lawyer. Its very stressful getting to this point, but Judge Janet Mahon is very sincere and rules by the book in my opinion. Thank you Janet Mahon!!

Judge Mandry is extremely professional and detail oriented. Be prepared to explain your medical records, care and medication she goes over all your medical records and is very thorough. It was my pleasure to have her hear my case.

Judge Mandry was very prompt, polite, understanding, and detailed in my hearing. She was extremely fair, and truly understood my conditions. I felt very comfortable in her courtroom, and not nearly as anxious as my previous hearing. I was very fortunate to have her hear my case, consider all the evidence fairly, and grant me a positive adjudication of my disability case. She is thorough, and you need to be able to verbalize your impairments to backup your assertions of being disabled. Having seen my doctors on a regular basis, and their conclusions all matching made it a lot easier. Thanks you Judge Mandry for making the process less stressful, and rendering a fair decision. Also the great expert representation by my lawyers at Levan & Niedenberg out of Ft. Lauderdale assured that all the relevant facts were presented, and favorable outcome. Highly recommend them.

Having seen my doctors on a regular basis, and their conclusions all matching made it a lot easier. Thanks you Judge Mandry for making the process less stressful, and rendering a fair decision. Also the great expert representation by my lawyers at Levan & Niedenberg out of Ft. Lauderdale assured that all the relevant facts were presented, and favorable outcome. Highly recommend them.
Judge Mandry was very prompt, polite, understanding, and detailed in my hearing. She was extremely fair, and truly understood my conditions. I felt very comfortable in her courtroom, and not nearly as anxious as my previous hearing.

Judge Mandry was professional, fair and thorough in hearing my case. Simply be upfront and honest about your situation and abilities; Make sure your medical records are complete and up to date. I cannot thank her enough for her considerations and judgment.

We had a hearing with Judge Marcinkowski today. He is a very competent, knowledgeable and smart judge who knows the law and gets to the point. He understands medical evidence and obviously has a significant amount of experience in SSI matters.

In my opinion Judge Marcinkowski was polite & professional, however I did receive an unfavorable decision that outlined in description a totally different person than myself. The notice has described me at twice my real weight and almost two feet taller than my real height. And you say there's an editing department where all the tee's are crossed and the eyes are dotted. hmmmm, I don't think that happened in my case. All I can say at this point is WOW!.....a lot of medical inconsistenties and omitted surgeries not in the notice neither. Makes me wonder what file were you looking at when making MY DECISION? This is causing an uproar like Ive never known. This Notice I received is basically a ticket to an appeal..................AGAIN!

I was approved for backpayment but denied for monthly benefits in 2010. I have re-applied for monthly benefits due to new injuries since that decision and have gone before Judge Montanus again as of 01/2012. I find that her decisions are fair and based solely on the facts of the situation, not on emotion. Her assistant works just as hard to make sure that ALL avenues have been pursued before a decision is handed down. I am blessed to have people dedicated to bettering the lives of those who truly are in need working in my corner. I pray that the other judges in this division are as atimate about the welfare of the disabled and the bettering of their lives as Judge Montanus. Thank you & God Bless to her, her staff, and their families.

This ALJ makes her decision basically on how she sees the claimant at the hearing, not on what is presented in the medical file. My child who is almost 10 years old suffers from ADHD and is borderline retarded, being retained in 1st Grade for four years in a row. There is sufficient medical information on the medical file, not only from medical experts, but from school as well. She denied the claim because he responded some of her questions at the hearing, not realizing that he made up some of the answers. My attorney and I told ALJ about it, but she still denied the claim. I hope the Appeals Council remands the case.

The famous Ice T s drinking aunt received Social Security for him after his parents died as a teenager. I had to start working as a disabled teenager since I was 15 trying to get out. I am now a grown single women without children, who does not drink, and does not do drugs. However, I live with three alcoholics. My mother, my father, and my sister. I have been denied and discriminated against by the Social Security Administration since way back in the 2000's for having a comprised immune system of my drinking female physician nearly killing me, debilitating me while still suffering debilitating migraines, cluster headaches and vision and hearing disorders. As soon as my father had a heart condition he was immediately given Social Security. When I was hit by a female drunk driver my Social Security claim was treated like an accident claim. The date isn't even for the date of the accident based on my closed head injury. When I was in with the ALJ Montanus the only question my male Catholic attorney asked was how much I weighed. I was given a partially favorable decision based on the male physicians and it is bad. That means they want my alcoholic family to handle my finances. I am still fighting after all these years and their is no end to the discrimination in my area. I wouldn't even give this one star. All of their "working programs" have also been discriminating against me since the 2000's. I couldn't even get food stamps but now that their is a democratic president in the white house. I can now have food stamps. When I have to renew them. The black children and family service workers still ask me if I am pregnant yet. No I did not receive any money from the white drunk driving female that hit me. She had a black female judge and a black female prosecutor on her side because she is dating a black man with two children.

I went before Judge Neel in April of 2015 in Tampa. I had a very high-paying career but unfortunately I have been unable to work since March of 2011. My medical bills are frequent and high, and I am on or have been on nearly a dozen medications. Some days it is a severe struggle just to exist. I was rapidly losing hope of receiving the assistance I need. When I received the notification of my hearing and that I was going before Judge Neel, I knew almost nothing about her except her record. In person I found Judge Neel to be extremely attentive, very compassionate, truly fair, and she seemed genuinely interested in my well-being. She told me that she wanted me to take proper care of myself and to improve my eating habits and to try and find a way to get in some exercise: all very excellent advice. Judge Neel clearly takes her position as a guardian of the SSDI trust very seriously, and I was extremely gratified that she issued a fully favorable ruling in my case. Judge Neel may not realize it, but because of her compassion for my disabilities and her willingness to help me, she is not only helping me to manage my issues, but she is helping the tremendous burden that my condition places on my family. Thank you, Judge Neel.

I had my long awaited hearing this morning. I had Judge Angela Neel presiding over the case my in Tampa. I was so happy that I had a judge that was so compassionate, respectful, attentive, not judgemental and very professional. Like I said my case was today and no matter what the outcome of the decision Is i respect and accept it. God couldn't have placed a better Judge in front of me. I pray that whoever has Judge Angela Neel presiding their case is as honored as I am. Now remember my case is still being evaluated and I don't know what the outcome will be añd I'm ok with that. I'm not knocking other Judges down but all I know is the character of the judge that was on my case. Gods blessing to all that read this to see what type of Judge Angela Neel is. Some comments on here scare people to go in front of their judge because I've come to realize that those bitter comments on judges is most likely due to not favorable decision.

Judge was very fair. I was helping my father with the very arduous task of navigating the world of SSA. Judge gave a great deal of help. She was fair, ethical and ultimately had great impact with our family situation. I'm glad my tax dollars are going towards this caliber of administration.

My family and I had a difficult time with the SSA process and procedures. Judge Neel was patient and helpful. Judge Neel ultimately saved a great deal of time for our family while following proper procedures. She was a guiding light that is a great asset to the SSA. Thanks Judge!

To whom it may concern, In my Herat of hearts I believe the judge did not take the time to see the BIG PICTURE. I'm in need and feeling hopeless and helpless. Back in April 2014 was my first denial. Then another, then I went before the judge. That time I had a lawyer that I never spoke with or had any communication till 5 minutes before my hearing. I went in and then another denial. My denial said because I was seeing a PA instead of a DR that a PA are not qualified enough and many more things. I have PTSD due to being beaten and molested starting at age 4. I have flashbacks all the time. I have severe depression and it's hard to leave my house, she also gave no weight to my therapist saying how bad of shape I'm in and can't work. In 2013 is when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. From then I tried to work another full year, in which I had to quit due to my pain, and my depression. Then I was diagnosed with very high bp, high cholesterol, gout, carpal tunnel and arthritis in my hands which makes it so I can't open or carry anything. If we leave the house I need to take an electric scooter because I can only walk for a few minutes. At home I need to put my feet above heart level several times a day due to all my swelling. How could I possibly work when I need to do this? Not to mention if I have to type or text I can only do it with one finger. I am now considered to be morbidly obese because I can barely walk due to the fibromyalgia, and my hypothyroidism. I can only sit or stand for just a few minutes st a time. Because I can't work and I don't have any money from disability, my pain has worsened and I continue to gain weight. I have gone from about 20 pills a day to about 4 because I have no money. I have been through repeated withdrawals. And to add to all of this I now have diabetes. So my day consist of laying around in pain and crying. Since I had to leave my job I've lost my car, I've come close to losing my house several times. We've had to max out credit cards for food and my meds. I would prefer to be working and making money instead of fighting like crazy trying to get a disability check of a big whopping $430 a month. I couldn't in a million years know a person that would quit their job to sit at home for that amount. My work credits are going to expire and I don't have time to start all over. My case in at the appeals council for review. I did qualify for them to expedite my case, however that's not gonna help me and my family if I get another denial. I need help, we need help. So many people deserve it and are denied. From what I read my judge denies most of her cases. I am in support groups for fibromyalgia. I've met many women who were approved with just fibromyalgia with seeing a PA and having no other diagnosis. And we're approved in the same building I was denied. How can cases be on a pick and choose basis? I have no more fight left in me. After my denial by the judge, I was close to suicide. I'm not sure how I can handle another denial. I'm hurting and I'm desperate. I can't even afford to see my PA anymore. Someone has got to please look over my case and to be a little more human when they are reviewing a case. Not everyone is looking to screw the system and live off of a few bucks. When my credits expire I'm done I can't do anything else. This appeal is my last chance. I just can't keep being a burden to my husband and my adult kids. I just don't know what else to say but please help me. I've sent letters to my congressman and to the mayors office, the governor, and to the Division of Disability Determination. I know there are tons of cases waiting to be reviewed, I'm not better or more deserving, im just a person in a lot of pain who's work credits are going to expire. I need a miracle! A fully favorable decision. Can't someone somewhere help??? Like maybe my denial judge.. Angela L Neel Thanks for taking the time to read this. Desperately yours, N S Sent from my iPad
To whom it may concern, In my Herat of hearts I believe the judge did not take the time to see the BIG PICTURE. I'm in need and feeling hopeless and helpless. Back in April 2014 was my first denial. Then another, then I went before the judge. That time I had a lawyer that I never spoke with or had any communication till 5 minutes before my hearing. I went in and then another denial. My denial said because I was seeing a PA instead of a DR that a PA are not qualified enough and many more things. I have PTSD due to being beaten and molested starting at age 4. I have flashbacks all the time. I have severe depression and it's hard to leave my house, she also gave no weight to my therapist saying how bad of shape I'm in and can't work. In 2013 is when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. From then I tried to work another full year, in which I had to quit due to my pain, and my depression. Then I was diagnosed with very high bp, high cholesterol, gout, carpal tunnel and arthritis in my hands which makes it so I can't open or carry anything. If we leave the house I need to take an electric scooter because I can only walk for a few minutes. At home I need to put my feet above heart level several times a day due to all my swelling. How could I possibly work when I need to do this? Not to mention if I have to type or text I can only do it with one finger. I am now considered to be morbidly obese because I can barely walk due to the fibromyalgia, and my hypothyroidism. I can only sit or stand for just a few minutes st a time. Because I can't work and I don't have any money from disability, my pain has worsened and I continue to gain weight. I have gone from about 20 pills a day to about 4 because I have no money. I have been through repeated withdrawals. And to add to all of this I now have diabetes. So my day consist of laying around in pain and crying. Since I had to leave my job I've lost my car, I've come close to losing my house several times. We've had to max out credit cards for food and my meds. I would prefer to be working and making money instead of fighting like crazy trying to get a disability check of a big whopping $430 a month. I couldn't in a million years know a person that would quit their job to sit at home for that amount. My work credits are going to expire and I don't have time to start all over. My case in at the appeals council for review. I did qualify for them to expedite my case, however that's not gonna help me and my family if I get another denial. I need help, we need help. So many people deserve it and are denied. From what I read my judge denies most of her cases. I am in support groups for fibromyalgia. I've met many women who were approved with just fibromyalgia with seeing a PA and having no other diagnosis. And we're approved in the same building I was denied.

I thought for sure I was going to lose my hearing, I went into the room with no confidence what so ever. I suffer from PTSD, GAD, depression, memory loss, chronic pain and I have IBS from a near fatal accident. When I met Judge Neel she was very nice and very personable, she put me at ease when I sat down and her questions were asked in a manner that wasn't intrusive or very hard to answer, I got confused a couple of times because I don't process information like I used to and formulating words is still a daunting task for me. I can't remember how long the hearing lasted? but I was happy to hear she would approve me with an amended onset date, now I'm just waiting on the decision letter and approval letter. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders even though I still have a wait time before I recieve benefits but I guess I'll just have to keep making it day by day and taking it one day at a time like I have been and continue to try to get better. I'm also very happy that I'll be able to have my severe neck pain addressed and will be able to see my Psychiatrist Dr. Pillai again (I had health insurance but couldn't afford it anymore and lost all my benefits), now that I can get approved for Medicaid, it'll be a year before I can get Medicare. Judge Neel is a really great Judge, she is fair and compassionate and she doesn't want to see me fail so I'm hoping one day I can go back to school and work. We'll see where my road to recovery takes me. So please don't rely on these negative ratings of her, if your claim is legit, your medical file is strong and you are truly disabled I wouldn't worry about having her as your judge. Thank you Judge Neel, you changed my whole outlook on my future and now I feel like I have a chance at life again.

Judge Neel is a very pleasant ALJ. It always hasn't been this way with certain judges in this office (thankfully they are gone now). However, if you are under the age of 50, you can pretty much forget an approval from her. As of this writing, she has the lowest approval rating of them all. That should tell you plenty. Stats don't lie. Although she is "up" from her 28% approval rating when she was in Tampa. Progress? 5 stars for being pleasant, courteous and professional. 0 stars for bieing biased against younger individuals. 3 stars overall.

Met with judge neel under unfortunate circumstances and was in a very negative mood after being denied and wait so long for a hearing. She made me feel at ease after her introductio and that the new evidence could be helpful with my case

Finally, in this very long process, I was able to explain myself in person and not just receive the rubber-stamp denial. It took two long years and I am so grateful to have been able to sit in front of Judge Neel and have her actually listen to me and understand what I was facing. She was compassionate, caring, professional and most of all - understanding! Thank you Judge Neel!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Judge Neel for taking the time and having patience with my Husband Todd Bowers. This has been a long and trying road for us. He was so nervous and really was shaken up, so thank you again for allowing him the opportunity during his hearing.

If you're under the age of 50, you can pretty much forget being approved. At 27% approval, you cannot argue with this theory. While very pleasant in the hearing, she has her mind made up before you walk in there. If the national average for judges approving case is around 42%, an approval rate of 27% indicates something is bad wrong here. Unfortunately, bad things happen to people under 50. This judge doesn't seem to care about that. One star for being nice in the hearing.

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

Everyone is nervous at the time of their hearing. Having Generalized Anxiety Disorder makes it that much worse. I feel the Judge took the time to listen to my Medical Conditions. It was much appreciated.

Judge Rodriguez seemed very fair. I haven't received my letter so I can't say anything about approval or denial but he definitely was thorough and clear and made me less nervous. My hearing was Dec. 13, 2017 and it is now only February so I should know the outcome in a month or so but either way I am glad I had him and how he treated me making my experience as pleasant as possible. I was very very nervous and he didn't judge and answered any questions I had not making me feel inferior. I was supposed to have Judge Weakley but got switched to Judge Rodriguez and from what I'm reading I am very grateful for that. He really was understanding and seemed fair.

unfair judge, bad attitude and dint even reviewed my child case evidence properly, he was too busy trying to deny the case, i now have another chance for a second hearing and i pray this incompetent judge is not the one assigned to my child pending hearing.

cold and unfair judge, he didnt even review the medical records correctly he was more interested in denying the claim based on what he believes instead of the real evidence in front of him, i hope he is replaced.

I didn't get the vibe that this judge was "cold and unfair" in fact he seemed genuinely compassionate. He seemed as though he understood the pain I was in and the challenges that my disability cause. He doesn't need to be "replaced" as far as I'm concerned ODAR could use MORE judges like him. I know that it isn't customary for a claimant to speak to the alj ever again, but if it were possible, I would like to shake his hand, and tell him thank you.

this judge made a lot of questions but didnt pay attention to the medical evidence, he seems to be more concern if our testimony was accurate or not instead of considering the real evidence in front of him. in my opinion he was very unfair and rude, I wish I had another judge in my case.

This judge was very compassionate and respectful and he made my anxiety go away after I realized that he understood my terrible situation. I don't like going to court but he made me feel welcomed and I felt at ease. Thank you!

This "judge" doesn't listen to their own experts in court. He would rather deny a claim than take to the time to review the medical records. This "judge" should be disbarred!!!!!!!

As a practicing attorney, it is always delightful to appear before him. He has a good temperament and knows his records well. I don't always win but his decisions are fair.

One of the few best Administrative Law Judges in USA that I have worked with. He is a great person to know, and as adjudicator I have seen complete 100% competency and knowledge of the Rules that Govern the Forum. It was sad to see him move to Orlando FL. In my opinion Orlando citizens gained by receiving this Great ALJ.

Very unfair!!!!!!! He should be disbarred ASAP... He don't listen to any evidence at all or maybe he only approves certain people of his own race??? I won a federal case which the federal judge found many of issues he did wrong things wrong that do besides listening to evidence. He is a horrible judge and if you get him try to ask for someone else hopefully you will be treated with fairness cause this man don't at all !

I don't have any complaints about this judge so I'm a bit surprised at all the negative comments about him. I'm assuming (yes I know I shouldn't) that the people who left the negative reviews didn't get their appeal approved. I'm sorry for that, but obviously, there had to be a reason or reasons why the appeal wasn't approved. I waited 26 months for a hearing and was so happy to finally get a hearing date that my only concern was making sure the Judge had all of my medical records by sending updated records to him directly (his office requested all current records be sent to him directly). So I went to my hearing two (2) weeks ago and although I had the typical nerves, I was hopeful that my medical records would speak volumes as to my disability. The judge had his administrative person & an Occupational Therapist in the room & told me what both ladies would be doing. He told me he would hear from me and if there were questions that weren't asked or answered by my attorney he would ask me questions. He then explained why the Occupational Therapist was there and told me not to be concerned when he spoke to her using numbers as opposed to occupations. Once the hearing started, my attorney asked me about 10 questions and the judge told him that was enough. The judge then asked me 2 questions - "How has your disability changed your life" and "How have you been paying your bills since you've been unemployed for over 2 years". I answered both questions and then he asked the OT two questions. From what I could hear (I have lousy hearing), he asked her about jobs he thought I might be able to do. Both questions were answered in my favor by the Occupational Therapist. The judge then told me that I would receive a decision as to his ruling in about 4-6 weeks. He advised that I could appeal that decision if it was not in my favor, and then dismissed us. When we left the hearing office my Atty. was surprised at how quick the hearing went and that the judge only gave the OT two (2) possible variables as to jobs I might be able to perform. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but my Atty. felt it was definitely a good thing. After 11 days, including weekends, I received my notice in the mail and it was "Fully Favorable". I cried because I was so relieved. Reading his 10-page letter justifying his decision, it was beyond obvious that the read and reviewed all of my medical records and made his decision based on those records. So for those of you who are worried about this judge, if there is any advice I can give to you it would be to make sure you have all of your medical records, including updated records since most hearings are approx. 2 years after your initial claim for benefits. Make sure those records have all the information the judge wants & needs to make a ruling on your appeal. I feel bad for those of you who didn't get approved, but perhaps you can/should file an appeal and make sure the judge has every bit of information he needs to make his decision. Best of luck to anyone who is still waiting for their appeal to be heard.

After a very long wait for this hearing due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, I felt that judge Rose is compassionate, comprehends what your dealing with physically and emotionally, I was extremely anxious until he started talking, he made the entire process calm And listened to what I had to say. Win or lose he's a fair judge. You'll be lucky to have him hear your case

This is a dire need request! I'm hoping ALJ Joseph A. Rose gets this mssg. My daughter ending up homeless even tho she had a combination diagnosis. Also the Vocational Expert when asked the hypothetical is there any job that what permit missing more than 3 to 4 day a work week for a person in my daughter's condition the answer was no judge. The ALJ gave my daughter these specific instructions, "when you get letter in mail call Mr. Bell ( consultant) right away. Well when the letter arrived 2015 it was a unfavorable decision. No way!!! I reached out seeking representation to help appeal it, Appeals Counsel went with ALJ' s decision. I did file right back 2017and she did get approved. But now here's the thing she was approved dating back 2010, but was only paid back two years 2015! This is awful maltreatment and her condition is critical even as of now her living situation is beneath standards. We're looking for legal help to change her onset date, since were told the ALJ decision is unable to be overturned! I really want to think some how this was an awful oversight!!! Attempting to get legal representation has been a nightmare ! Recovery is this young woman's goal... Stable housing is desperately needed!!!

My attorney and I went before Judge Senf this morning for my daughter's ssi case and even though I don't know the outcome as yet, he is a very good judge that ask straight to point questions about the case and definitely allow you to present your case. I was happy that he excused my daughter from the room and didn't cause any embarassment to her as she was already afraid. He made it quick and painless not leaving me to feel like a bad mother with bad parenting skills, he really listened!

I had my hearing yesterday with Judge Senf. He was really kind and patient and I felt like he genuinely cared about my problems. Unfortunately for me, I started a new medicine yesterday and so at my hearing, I was completely "out of it" and stopped taking this particular medication today as I cannot tolerate the way it made me feel. My biggest regret during the hearing is that there are several key factors I forgot to mention (I have major problems with memory and focus due to one of my medical conditions). I also forgot to tell him that my ENT just referred me to a radiation oncologist because a recent ct scan revealed that my cancer may have returned! I'm praying that Judge Senf realized that although I am semi-young (37), that I am in severe and constant pain each and everyday. Overall, he made me feel at ease. I just wish I hasn't been on this new med, so I could have told him everything that I forgot. God Bless all of you and Happy Holidays. I'll be praying for a favorable decision for everyone who rightfully deserves it.

I found this judge to be extremely critical. He did everything he could so I did not win. I suffer from chronic back pain. Bi polar, depression anxiety. And many other disorders. I'm over fifty. And have a pitiful and terrible job. Since I have such horrible insomnia. I can't sleep. Even though I'm on at least 5 medications. He didn't ask many questions. He seems confused. Of course I knew he was going to give me unfavorable. I could tell. Beware.

This Judge is very competent and fair. He treated me fairly and looked at my entire case. After waiting 2 1/2 years, this Judge was quick. He had already reviewed my case prior to my arrival, was ready to ask relevant questions he had. He gave me a verbal decision on my case, so now I am just waiting on the formal approval. I am glad that we have such a hard working and fair judge here in Orlando.

Why are you so cold? I am now losing everything, my home, my car, and my wife and I have to live with my sister because I am totally disabled and truly can't work. Yet you, not a doctor, said I am not disabled. I and my family will forever remember you as a cold uncaring person.

I went to my hearing before ALJ Statum. I was given a CD to review and see if all my medical records are on it. I mentioned to the ALJ Statum that some important records are missing, including my current treatment. The ALJ promised that those records will be obtained before she delivers her decision, which she said will be in 2 months. Almost 5 months after my hearing, I receive a denial decision. After reading through the entire decision, I realize that ALJ Statum never ordered my current / recent medical records as promised in the hearing. She states "Claimant has not had any treatment recently, and she does not take any medications", which is completely false. I am in limbo and under tons of stress as I am looking for a representative to help me file for an appeal!!! I am totally devastated!

If your case involves mental health problems, including PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, Depression, it will be a very tough battle to fight. Mental health is still overlooked, underappreciated, and not really taken too seriously, even though the suicide rate has alarmingly increased. The Social Security system needs to take a look at the severity of mental health, and start giving it the time and energy that it deserves. Mental health destroys and takes lives every single day. Some of it is not as visible as physical illness, but that does not and should not discount the severity of mental health / brain diseases.
