Hi, I had my hearing 11/21/2018 with Judge Christian Bareford and he was very nice I had a pleasant experience with him.. I just upset because I didn’t have all my medical records and no attorney so I took a chance so I really thought it hurt in a way.. but I can’t go back in take anything back now.. I just hope pray and that I can aleast get a partial payment because I’m currently working under 20 hours a week I’m not asking for a hand I just need help for my condition and talking with him made me feel like he really understood so with all that being said I had a wonderful experience with him and I just aleast hope he could give partial benefits if not else I’m still willing to work part time even if I am in pain... so with that said Judge Bareford I give 5 stars...

Heaven help any poor soul that gets this judge. He is biased and wouldn’t even make eye contact or listen to my testimony. He ignored the recommendations of the vocational expert. He ignored doctor’s reports and fabricated things about me. For example I live with other people and he claimed I lived alone. Any one of my witnesses and therapists weren’t credible. I could go on and on but I’ve wasted enough time. If you ever get this judge do whatever it takes to get assigned a different one.

By your % approved cases, and looking at the other judges largest % denials, it seems you DO actually listen to people and can understand that they feel helpless and can't provide for their families which makes low self-esteem also. People DO WANT to be proud and productive by working and feeling self-worth. Needing help financially is not easy to ask for (although we've worked for many years..which is why our bodies are broken down in the first place.) I may have a hearing coming up in this office soon...I hope I can be heard by you for it is scary to wait so long and be so clinging to the need for financial help with no chances of benefits. Can other judges even try to put themselves in our places..we have been trying for 2 years for help..why would we do this if we could go out and work for money while financial life worsens each week.

Judge Carpenter is a truly caring judge who wants to help and is genuinely interested in what the Claimant has to say. She is not a judge who you will go in front of and automatically have an easy time being approved, but she will give you a fair hearing.

Judge Carpenter is very caring and will give you a fair hearing. She really listens to what the Claimant has to say. You can be assured that you will be heard if you appear in front of her.

I recently had a hearing with this judge. I was treated with such a high level of respect and compassion, it was almost scary. I was given a full favorable ruling, but that is not what inspired this comment. This judge actually cares about us as people. Just treat her with respect, and you WILL receive a fair decision based upon the merits of your medical condition.

I am extremely disappointed in my son's decision. Having an extremely rare and severe case of Nail Patella Syndrome, where all major limbs are affected, Chronic Kidney Disease, as well as a variety of mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety and ADD, I am (and all others that know him), shocked that his judge denied him SSI. His arms only straighten half-way (about 90 degrees) and because they are chronically dislocated and have little cartilage, his elbow bones rub together constantly causing pain. His right leg doesn't go straight either and his knee caps dislocate every time he bends his knees causing a lot of pain. He has the worst case of flat feet that I've ever seen causing so much pain as well. He has Chronic Kidney disease where she said he wasn't compliant with medication - which she said the same about anti-depressants - however, had she asked him about that, he would have told her that his mother stopped him from taking the CKD medicine originally prescribed because of the known terrible side-effects on patients with Nail Patella Syndrome and that 2 weeks later, he got a different prescription (a far safer drug) and has been on it ever since. As far as anti-depressant medicines, he's had terrible side-effects with each kind he's tried, that's not his fault! Not to mention, he's been on and off health insurance (like millions of people in the US) and so his psychological and psychiatric appointments have been staggered because of that but, she didn't ask him about any of this, not to mention his lawyer didn't say more than 2 sentences during the hearing. We are in a support group for folks with Nail Patella Syndrome and know several others who have been approved for SSI. He is more physically severe than most of them and most don't have the chronic kidney disease. He is on the verge of needing a kidney transplant, just like his aunt. Of course he is depressed! He fears he is going to die from kidney disease, just like my sister nearly did after going through serious rejection of her transplanted kidney. He watched her struggles and is terrified. He's very smart but has the lowest self-esteem because of his very visible physical disabilities, it's extremely unfortunate. I know several people who don't come close to having the same disabling conditions, as my son and are approved. I apologize for the vent but, I am in shock, as are those who know my son, who has already tried to commit suicide several times and who is always talking about taking his life because of all of his issues. His judge wrote in her decision that the attempt that landed him in the hospital was due to a single life event and that's sad because we've shown, in his evidence, that he's been depressed and seeing therapists on and off since he was 4 years old. I'm terrified that I'm going to lose my son. I hope the appeals council does the right thing and if they send his case back to his judge, I hope she does the right thing. ~ Terrified mom (PS I hope this doesn't hurt him, I'm just so sad for him b/c he just keeps saying, with this decision, that he just wants to give up.)

I just went in front of Judge Carpenter on the 3rd of July 2019. She was very nice, patient and professional. I was already nervous and scared with my anxiety but she did her best to help me understand the questions no matter how many times she had to repeat them with my comprehension problem. You can tell she actually cared and listen to what I had to say.. Even tho i kept forgetting things and would randomly think of them she was patient with me

My son, Jeffrey Ansell had a hearing before you a few months ago. You said he didn't deserve/qualify for SSI. He died three weeks ago of the illness you said he didn't have...qualify for...whatever. I am very disappointed in the system. I'm sure his Alpha One would have killed him eventually, but he'd have been able to live a little before his death with the money the SSI would have afforded him. Jeff had no life. He laid in bed...or oxygen for years. He never went "out." Except perhaps with me once a month or so to the Olive Garden. He was on oxygen which didn't have a long cord. The first thing he planned to do was buy a portable oxygen cannister. I am so sad. Words can't even tell you how sad I am and disappointed in his "lawyer."

This Judge is a liar and should not be a judge. Where are you morals and ethics. How did you get be a judge. Your integrity and level of respect is void. You take advantage of youth that do not know their rights you ought to be ashamed of yoursrlf. You don't control anything God is in control and you will be held responsible for your dishonesty and wicked ways of not abiding by the truth. You are wicked and corrupt. I have lost respect for the judicial system. I will pray for you that God brings you to do the right thing and by others. What you do in the dark will be brought to light. Remember God has the final say not you. Do not try to use your power and influence to control things because you were given a position to judge. You will be judged as well. That's why I'm glad God is the almighty and most high and powerful. God rules the world.

Judge De Leon was very professional. She asked a lot of questions and was very understanding and listened attentively to all of my answers. she was extremely thorough and made sure that anything that myself or my attorney had to say was also heard. this was my first and only experience before a judge of any kind and she was everything you would want a judge to be. You can count yourself lucky if she hears your case because you will get a fair hearing.

I have been struggling for a very long time with various health issues and had a less than pleasant experience with an ALJ in 2014, which left me very frustrated, overwhelmed, and angry from feeling like I was being treated as less than a human. I left the hearing in tears because I felt like I wasn't being heard. I had another hearing this year but got a different judge this time, which was Judge DeLeon. I felt like I was respected and taken much more seriously than my previous experience. Judge DeLeon will hear your case with empathy and ask appropriate questions to help her fairly determine if you are unable to work. She makes you feel like she is truly listening and considering your answers carefully and doesn't push you to a humiliating limit. She could be a model judge for the rest of the Pittsburgh unit.

She makes you feel like she is truly listening and considering your answers carefully and doesn't push you to a humiliating limit. She could be a model judge for the rest of the Pittsburgh unit.
Judge Alma S de Leon was prepared prior to my hearing. Mostly she confirmed with me the facts provided in my file. She asked me direct questions, there was no confusion understanding h All I could do is be honest and it was ok not to fight back my tears. The attorney ahead of time said she was a great judge, and I know now what they meant. She made eye contact and her tone was strong yet gentle to the words we exchanged. My attorney enabled me the strength to stay in the moment. All in the courtroom with me made a painful, embarrassing and emotional moment a safe haven to speak of my disabilities. The first thing I remember walking out of the courtroom: VALIDATION at last , second to when my attorney accepted my case. Currently i am waiting for a written decision. As so many are before me, may God bless them.

I have found through personal interaction that Judge S oandra R DiMaggio Wallis is a consummate professional who engages claimants with an object and open mindset. It is my hope that she continue to facilitate her duties with the application of knowledge and the faculty of wisdom with which she has received from our Most High God.

Awful Person. not much other to say besides shes does not follow any laws whatsoever, not respected at all from various other judges and attorneys who see her on a regular basis. Doesn't make sense in her questioning process.

Does not follow the law. Told me in a hearing thT she agreed I coul not perform a job yet denied me in my letter? My attorney tells me she acted against the law serial times during my hearing. If you get her as your judge, go ahead withdraw your case and revile,

Judge Sandra Dimaggio Wallis really helped my wife in receiving her fully favorable decision. She was a very understanding Judge being that my wife suffers with debilitating complex regional pain syndrome (crps) and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (cts). Thank you so very much Judge Sandra Dimaggio Wallis!!! You are the best!! May God bless you tremendously!

A useless ALJ. She does not follow the rules and regulations and ignores treating doctors in favor of DDS "consultants." The good thing is that her decisions are easy to appeal. Another failure on the government payroll.

Judge Sandra R. DiMaggio Wallis, we've spoken to each other in January 2018... Before I've seen you, I've waited almost 3 Years for a hearing... Please Help my Son with this Open Case situation that is going on. It's been almost 3 years & Still I'm in the midst.. waiting for an Answer. Constantly calling hoping/Praying for someone to get on their feet and actually Work on this case. I'm aware that there is a case worker a signed to my son's case but I haven't received Not a phone call a letter, nothing Nothing.... It's been many years. Yes we just had a hearing I've spoken to you, Ms. Judge Sandra R. Dimaggio, you were so kind to me and my son... It's been almost 3 months since the hearing from today... They keep saying they're waiting on papers but alllll papers and information has been faxed. They eventually say "Oh Yes we do have everything we ask for""... But then when I call again it seems to be a repeat. They say they are waiting for papers that already have been faxed by even myself. I've left voicemails back to back. Please... Please Please Judge, I ask may you look into this because Someone isn't doing much.... Please. Thank you & God bless.

I've never been so insulted and have myself and my adult disabled son so ignored. She lied about where and how my son was supposed to be evaluated for his ongoing mental illness since birth and she used a report from some psychologist from 5 yrs ago and the man met with my son for 15 minutes asked him to spell his name then talked about a TV show then he determined my son showed no ongoing mental health issues. 2days before he was banging his head on Mercy Behavioral Healths windows because he felt lied to. She promised a thorough evaluation by another place because all my sons doctors say he's unemployable and severely bi-polar. I never got a hearing date let alone a court date even though I called and called to get an address for this different evaluation. she didn't take any reports from Mercy Behavioral Health doctors and said that he could be a successful "laundry worker" if need be. She wouldn't let me talk because we went through two lawyers who won't help him. She failed my son. I've been supporting him on my disability check ,since I'm Bi-polar too, and could care less that his life and mine have been torturous because it's not her problem.

I shot myself in the head. I have double. I’m bipolar. I have anxiety, seizures, ptsd and panic attacks and I was denied. I worked for the government for nine years. My son and I are homeless.I don’t think the judge even heard anything my counsel or I said. Hopefully, the appeals counsel will approve me.

This judge made a terrible mistake in judging me incorrectly. She had numerous errors throughout the lengthy denial letter I received, regarding her supposed review of my medical records. She claimed I didn't have proof of several diagnosis' in my records when there was clear cut proof in these records. My third party who was supposed to testify at my hearing was not allowed to do so, and She made allegations in her letter about me that are downright descriminatory and false. She didn't ask me about several things during the hearing but then made statements in her letter accusing me of things she never gave me a chance to confirm or deny. She claims I am still able to work despite the fact I have become so ill that I can't keep up with my own personal hygiene let alone work. I haven't even been able to keep most of my appointments with several of my specialists because I have been too sick to drive myself to them. I have several diagnosis' on the adult list of disabling conditions, and I hope she sees this and knows that she was cruel and wrong about me, and my life has been completely destroyed because of her. I will most likely have to live on the street soon because she denied me benefits I have desperately needed. God help you if you have to have this judge in charge of your hearing. She is irresponsible and descriminatory and shouldn't be allowed to judge with her own personal opinions on a person. She is mean and will destroy your character if she doesn't like the look of you. That is what happened to me. She will destroy your life if she doesn't like you. This judge ruined my life that was already in the toilet from years of suffering from a rare illness.

I understand that this could be taken as "this person got turned down and is upset". I am indeed upset, but it is because I was turned down for completely false reasons. So beware of this Judge. She will use anything she can against you. I thought my rep and I had everything in order. My T's crossed and I's dotted. I was wrong! This judge acted as if my PCP's RFC paperwork didn't exist because one minor thing was not in my medical history. My PCP supports the fact that I am disabled. I also have two other doctors that stated I had MDI's that met the SSA guidelines for disability. She uses things in your medical report that are autofill parts from specialists. Like my wrist Ortho's ROS form that I now know he doesn't fill out except for the reason HE is seeing you. That being my wrist. So he didn't fill out that I have fibromyalgia, severe headaches, back pain, weakness, etc. And that was used against me in the decision letter. Even though it was never asked about at the hearing. This judge seems to discriminate based on your age and medical condition(Still a lot of judges that refuse to see the conditions I have as real). Even though my MDI's are listed in the SSA guidelines she chose to not consider them. There are so many errors in her decision letter that my rep said it will take a while to list them all. So I guess that's a good thing. Problem is that I have been trying to get the disability I deserve for 4 1/2 years now. My family and I are financially ruined. The appeals council will take 14-18 more months per my rep and then if Federal suit is needed, another year or more. My family will be on the streets by then. The SSA system drains everything you have worked hard for in your life and drags the process out over way too many years. Just to be turned down by someone who doesn't follow guidelines and makes wild assumptions with no facts.
I understand that this could be taken as "this person got turned down and is upset". I am indeed upset, but it is because I was turned down for completely false reasons. So beware of this Judge. She will use anything she can against you. I thought my rep and I had everything in order. My T's crossed and I's dotted. I was wrong! This judge acted as if my PCP's RFC paperwork didn't exist because one minor thing was not in my medical history. My PCP supports the fact that I am disabled. I also have two other doctors that stated I had MDI's that met the SSA guidelines for disability. She uses things in your medical report that are autofill parts from specialists. Like my wrist Ortho's ROS form that I now know he doesn't fill out except for the reason HE is seeing you. That being my wrist. So he didn't fill out that I have fibromyalgia, severe headaches, back pain, weakness, etc. And that was used against me in the decision letter. Even though it was never asked about at the hearing.

I am the single case approved by the Albuquerque Odar ALJ. Mariam C Fernandez Rice in the year of our Lord 2017. The processing office is forcing me to appeal the decision without my consent. In processing the protected application date of the approved title 16 before the approved title 2 is being denied by the processing office. And forcing me to blame the ALJ as being in error. When P.O.M.S. D.I.27515.020 new title 2 D.I.B. claim- title16 disability previously established. Clearly refers the processing office as the responsible entity in favoring the claimant in detail. Please review.

I’d like no I demand to know why she’s still a judge? Case after case she lies then fits wording in a report but by piecing different sentences together to fit her narrative. How can this be legal? Talk about being slandered over & over. At the same time she’s so ******. Every thing she said that proved I’m a liar that I’m not disabled is there in my records. I want her fired & id like her to pay for the pain & suffering she’s caused me & so many others. Her lies hurt so bad. I’ve waited so long & I get a judge who never gave me a chance. She’d made her decision about us all before we saw her. Her hate & disgust for us is clearly evident. Her aim was to destroy our reputations because she thinks she can. She’s a despicable excuse for a human being but someday she’ll mess with the wrong person & she’ll pay. It’s gonna happen. How is she still a judge? Others must have appealed. The counsil & other judges must have read what she writes. Unless your all like her but there must be a few decent judges. Help us!

The Judge is an idiot, in my opinion. She stated, in the decision for my daughter, who can barely get around, that she felt her suited for a hotel housekeeper. Obviously, the woman has lost sense of reality. Why the government employs such a sad excuse for humanity is unknown.

Judge gates was very pleasant during my hearig.. When ive been able to see a doctor they always ask if I every considered suicide. I would say no. But since receiving word today that JUDGEe gates denied my claim im at that point. My home is in jeopardy. Im sICK and need to see a doctor but donT have insurance. I had to file bankruptcy and i have very little food. Yes maybe if I end it my family can at least collect from my insurance and maybe be able to keep a roof ever their heads. I Dent T HAVE THE ANSWERS AND THIS WAS MY LAST CHANCE! I guess he had to do what he had to do.

Judge would not allow me into the courtroom because he "thought" I had TB even though in my medical records shows that I don't and I also have been in contact with several health professionals and also work in a public setting. I also received an x-ray to say I did not. He also criticized me for taking in a foster kid and being disabled, He closed by telling me he didn't have an attitude ( even though no one said he did). I felt like I was being judged and on a trail for a crime which made me extremely uncomfortable during the entire hearing.

Had a hearing before him in March, I was grilled by him for 1.5 hours, which for me is not a good thing, took extra meds that day. I will see what the decision is hopefully soon, its been over a month. I suspect it will be a denial, my attorney and I could just tell from the way he was coming across. I will reserve further comment until I see the decision. I will either be happy due to an approval or will go to the Federal Courts if denied.

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.

Judge Timothy C. Pace: I had my hearing in November of 2013, and like so many people its a very long journey just to get to this court date. My disability and filing started in 2009 and there was some mistakes made within the SSD that put me way behind for me getting my trail date. After, a second filing in early 2012 and now with an attorney I got my date set in the middle of November. I advise anyone who is thinking about getting a attorney, Make sure they are local and NOT a national firm with lawyers scattered all over the country. I spoke to my attorney over the phone 3 times, twice within days of my hiring and never met him until I walked into the court room. My biggest mistake in my life. I did 99% percent of the talking and the lawyer made mistake right from the start, so I took control quickly and finished up the hiring. I even request that his fees be lowered if I won, right there at the time of the meeting. This action was granted by Judge Pace. Why did I gave Judge Pace a FIVE STAR review? Its simple and its based on two things and nothing more. 1) I had to deliver over 500 pages of medical records to the court before my court date because of my attorneys law firms poor handling of my case. So, I had a few calls and face to face meeting with the office staff. The staff was super helpful and truly cared about me as a person and my case. So, the staff shares in this review and the 5 stars. 2) Judge Timothy C. Pace got his five star rating for simply listening to my store. He just listened and you could tell he cared about my journey to disability status. Again, he listened and in the end that's all you can ask of any person: Judge, Doctor, Husband/Wife or partner. I walked out of the hearing knowing that I had my day and what ever happens next happens good or bad. But, I know in my heart and mind that I was heard!

i went in front of judge pace in 2011 and he proceeded to berate me in the hearing ... i wish i could get a copy of the audio recording from that hearing, he denied me even though i had a letter from my doctors stating i am not capable of any gainful employment. i was hit with a mack truck in 2005 and have severe spinal cord injuries and if you go to this ssa site you can see what you have that qualifies you i have several listings from the musculoskeletal system and Neurological sections including multiple herniated disks and syringomyelia.

This judge cherry picked my disability case and I lost due to extremely unethical and irrelevant reasons. I am not only disappointed but disgusted.

Judge Papazekos is a fair and even handed judge. she listened and seemed to care about my case. She went out of her way to explain things to me and did more than my own Attu to help me in the hearing.

cherry picked my case with things that were discriminatory torwords my character. Was told by lawyer after court day that I won my case, then 4 months later she signs paper saying I'm faking When sworn doctors she had in court said I'm disabled.

This judge was rude, and even insulting. dragged me through appeals for 5 years even after her first denial of me was remanded. Her vocational expert even told myattorney after a hearing that my case was in the bag, yet she still denied me. Gave no credibility to my dr's, Psychiatrist, numerous meds i'm on, or ER visits. I had to refile because of her. If I would get her again, I don't know what i'd do. This woman should be A prison guard, not someone supposed to judge fairly on poor health.

I am an Iraq combat veteran with a purple heart and a 100% disability rating from the VA for severe PTSD. I had several hearings before joanna papazekos and from the very first one, it was clear that she neither understood PTSD nor apparently believes it is a disability. When I returned from Iraq in 2006, I was diagnosed with severe PTSD by a private practice Psychiatrist in Pittsburgh and then began long-term treatment with a licensed Psychologist. When I had my first meeting with judge papazekos, I had been in continuous therapy for 11 years. At the hearing I presented written summaries from my original Psychiatrist, the Psychologist I saw for 11 years and a third Psychologist who I recently started seeing. In addition, I presented the Veterans Administration decision indicating I was 100% disabled from PTSD. I also presented evidence of being unable to work due to severe mood swings and evidence where I had tried to work part-time at a local Home Depot but had to quit due to triggered reactions I had at work. I had overwhelming evidence showing the severity of my disability problems, however, joanna papazekos did not take any of that evidence seriously. She denied my application for disability status. I can only conclude that she either 1. knows nothing about PTSD and its effects; or 2. harbors a resentment and/or feeling of discrimination against Veterans.

This judge is clearly consistent. She has the lowest rate of approval of any judge in the state and within minutes of my hearing commencing I didnt need a crystal ball to tell me she was going to turn me down, her body language, attitude, questions and tone of voice made it clear to me she was going to reject my claim despite the physician I was sent to who had experience evaluating these cases telling me after my exam that he saw no reason that I did not easily qualify for disability benefits. When my attorney appealed we ended up back in front of her. Totally absurd.

Turned me down b/c I am able to care for my child. In her letter gave 2 par (for each Dr.) for statement review of Dr I spent 30 min with and my own Dr I've been seeing for over 5 yes got 4 sentences. My own attorney said she knew she would deny me, she could tell within the first 5 min maybe if I wasn't white her decision would have been different. The courts were supposedly coming down on her for her high denial rate as well as her back log of appeals.....

This Judge treated me like a criminal from the get go even though i have neurologists, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, PCPS every doc you can name has said i deserve disability. Totally Ignored my lawyer, I am going through terrible hardship due to a motorcycle accident not to get into details but she showed no compassion for anything, i walked out of there in the worst depression and pain i have ever experienced.

SSD is not taken lightly by this Judge. She is confident and reviews her cases well. The administration could use more judges like her. Social Security awards cannot be given away, they must be given to those who truly need them. Thank you Judge for representing the taxpayers well.

This judge does not look at everything I had letters from Drs saying I could not work , she said I was getting better. Which is not true, she looked at stuff that did not Protane to my cause and used it can't understand English. I feel I was wrong color and never had a chance because I was white.

This judge is clearly not reading documents by doctors who clearly says I cannot work, and she clearly stated she gives little consideration to what they say,(wow) I guess she is the doctor not the judge then I found out that she changes bank account information when she denies your case what and why would you touch that when no money is going in it, I also knew I lost when I walked in the room her body language and attitude. but (no weapon formed against you will prosper)

I posted yesterday about my hearing... after thinking about it there was so much more I wanted to say and could have said but I was nervous and my anxiety was starting to overcome me so now I fell like I did not do well because of it, I would hope the judges realize how hard it is to answer questions under nervousness anxiety and pain. :(

I went before Judge Dowdell on Sep 26th and despite what I have read here I had a very different experience she was very nice she listen to what I had to say,my hearing was not very long which concerns me a little ...but I would have to say there was much more I wanted to say and should have said but I was so nervous and my anxiety was starting to take over and I did not want to ramble either. I just pray for a good outcome because if not I have no idea what we will do I feel like I am killing my husband with all the OT he has to do to make up from my work loss. Now it's the wait that will stress me for a decision! :(

To anonymous post of 9/28/17. I went through that exact problem and thinking as you. I was in front of judge Valaskavich. I wasn't nervous but have trouble thinking when the pain is bad. Mornings are the worst. She seemed to understand that without me having to say it, and the struggle it has been waiting to hopefully get approved. Again I did not tell her of any of my struggles. Utilities threaten to be shut off every month and so much more. That makes it so hard to deal with the depression because I always worked hard to pay for everything and now even if I get turned down, still can't work any job. So prayers to you and all people who really have to get approved!

That makes it so hard to deal with the depression because I always worked hard to pay for everything and now even if I get turned down, still can't work any job. So prayers to you and all people who really have to get approved!
To anonymous post of 9/28/17. I went through that exact problem and thinking as you. I was in front of judge Valaskavich. I wasn't nervous but have trouble thinking when the pain is bad. Mornings are the worst. She seemed to understand that without me having to say it, and the struggle it has been waiting to hopefully get approved. Again I did not tell her of any of my struggles. Utilities threaten to be shut off every month and so much more. That makes it so hard to deal with the depression because I always worked hard to pay for everything and now even if I get turned down, still can't work any job. So prayers to you and all people who really have to get approved!
yes it's such a process...and I wish I could do it again.. I keep thinking of important things I should have said but was very anxious and felt like I shouldn't babble on and on :( and she only asked me thre questions which I found strange, talking to other people who were questioned for almost an hr...and her record on here is the lowest so I am not very hopeful with my outcome. But I do have to say She was very different than I expected after reading the posts on here. She seemed very nice.

I was told by my lawyer that the judge I got wasn't the best and when I went in to the court room she had a look of disdain on her face like I was bothering her being there. Then she asked ****** questions like how many pets I have and how I cared for them when I live with husband who does the major work, why did I file for SSD when I was getting unemployment as I was let go due to my disability cause I couldn't type, which the OVR guy said I could go back to work and do same thing and i flunked a online typing test. and the big thing we had to fight Greentree traffic to be there at 8 am so we left at 645 to get thru into Pgh so we were way early and husband dropped me at burger king about a block away then we walked to fed bldg after having a breakfast there and it took awhile as I had to stop n rest a couple times on my knee, ankle and back. She couldn't get it thru her head that we were early and I didn't want to sit on exterior steps till it opened with a bad back. After this whole ordeal she turned me down and then I found out if I appealed that decision shed get that appeal and more than likely turn it down again. So I eneded up reapplying and lost 3 yrs of time....and $.

I requested to have my hearing dismissed because I am already on a different disability. She's a very nice lady but the people in her office are corrupt. They also said I can't refile and that I was read my rights about it. That is not true.

I had my hearing with Judge Perry-Dowedell on Monday morning, and my attorney informed me beforehand that she is not the judge you want to get if you’re hoping for SSI/SSDI benefits. She has the lowest approval rating of all the Administrative Law judges, so from the perspective of the taxpayers, she’s a great judge because she doesn’t just hand out social security money to everyone who applies for benefits. But from my perspective, the perspective of someone who nearly died from a spine injury and who spent 6 months learning to walk again, she is the worst judge you could ask for. I had a history of substance abuse, as I self medicated crippling anxiety. But she spent 50% of my hearing talking about that instead of why I can’t work and why I applied for benefits. I can’t stand more than 30 minutes at a time, I have permanent numbness, spasms and pain in my neck upper back that radiate down through my right leg and ankle. I can’t push pull or lift with force, and all of this was documented. She did not give me a decision at the hearing, so I guess it’s good news that at least she didn’t dismiss my case. We will see. But unless you are blind or paralyzed or something, and judge Leslie Perry-Dowdell is assigned as your judge...well, don’t get your hopes up.

I just my hearing 11/4, it lasted 1.5hours. Unfortunately, I woke up pretty sick that morning and had traveled across the country, so I was at a bit of a disadvantage. I’ve read the comments on this site and while yes, she is intimidating as any and all judges probably are in that type of setting. I must say, Judge Perry-Dowdell is just doing her job and she does it well, she’s thorough. Recommendation: to anyone up for a hearing, and I’m not sure if this is allowed... perhaps jot down a few key factors you don’t want to forget to mention. I say that because I have difficulty remembering things/dates due to multiple surgeries (anesthesia). And of course hindsight is always 20/20. Best of luck to anyone truly deserving of benefits.

Update: Denied by Judge Perry-Dowdell -she is a hired gun, that is clear! I had my ALJ hearing on 11/4/2019. She denied my claim despite a preponderance of medical evidence. Her denial cited an ailment I do not have (x2), failed to reference the multiple SSA qualifying ailments I do have, she disagreed with even one of the SSA physicians and then penalized me for making the flight across country (4 hours) little did she know I had to get up every 15 minutes to walk the aisle to try and feel my legs and be wheeled off the plane in a wheelchair both flights. I was down for days following the travel. I was raised in a military and law enforcement family as well as worked in law enforcement, where we’re conditioned to not complain despite the fact you may feel like dying inside. I was also advised by counsel not to speak much as she wouldn’t care. That was clear. My advice to anyone who deserves benefits, keep fighting. And plead your case accordingly.

I had to call and ask for the Gentlemens name , He treated me fairly even though I didn't have an attorney , he rescheduled the hearing and explained things to me , I thought he was fair and to the point , Alot of mix ups with me owning a business and income, Wow more questions concerning that than my actual health issuess So if you go alone be prepared to have tax records and earning statements.

I felt like someone is talking and saying things that they should not say to j.porter. People or him dont know how hard it is to take care of disable and blind low vision children. Until they live and take care of them 365 days of the year. Then help them to become a better, person. They dont really know whats it like 24hrs having to deal with children like that. No matter what I will still take care of my children the right and proper way. My cases for my daughter was denied and she does have many disability problems. I applied more then three times. I dont have time for no judgments crap or games when it comes to my children. No parent should lie about the condition of their children and the way they are just to get money. If they do lie then something is wrong with them. I will appeal my case for the first time instead of walking away. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter. This is something you should know.

This man should not have a job that judges people illness, apparently knows nothing of mental illness. Defies what Doctors say.

The judge did not take into account what I had to say. He wad very rude. If I could give him a million 0 stars I would. He should be banned from being a judge altogether. Judges who preside overy mental health cases need to have a better understanding of what mental illnesses are and how it affects people in their day to day life instead of the bullshit that they say. Mental Illness not only affects that person but the people living with them spouse. Not everyone with mental illness is married to someone who has a mental illness and my spouse is one of them. He does not have any mental illness and is of a very high IQ. Me having a mental illness is at times hard for him to deal with but at the end of the day he is still there and not going anywhere. Just like for example someone with cancer that is something that is a cronic medical condition... mental health is the same way. Mental illness is where you mentally have a disease that you have good days and bad days and most of the time the bad days that you have inside of your head affects you negatively constantly 24/7. You have your ups and downs... but mostly downs. Mental illness is a disease that can not be seen that is why people who don't have a mental illness judges people that do have a mental illness just like judge John Porter. I am using his name because I feel that he needs to be fired. I did everything that social security asked of me to and made sure he had everything he needed. I called all the time to make sure they had everything they needed. I also had doctors that said that I needed to stay on disability. I had mental health doctors who said that and he said what they said does not carry any weight... but instead get a job as a housekeeper which there are 20,000 jobs nationwide... or get a job as some kind of inspector where there are only 3,500 jobs nationwide. Get the **** out of here. If you are about to have this judge preside over your disability case I would automatically expect to be denied way before your court hearing.

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

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

Yes, she is French. Yes, she is attractive. But, more importantly, she is reasonable and open to off-the-record discussions of your case regarding onset, DLI, treatment, etc.

Judge Thompson is a very fair lady and listens well. I never spoke to her personally, but know of several of her past co-workers and each states she's a true professional.

The disability rules, law, I should of got my disability, but this judge denied me my disability. I am a very sick person, there is days I can barely walk, I honestly don't know if I am going to make it some days.. I have so much pain , so forgetful, the social security doctor said I was disable to work, because of my disease. She mention of me being obesity, and lack of education. It never stopped me working before. I have worked ever since I was 12 years old, worked hard for over 40 years. I have worked for everything I have, and now I am not able to work and about to lose everything I have ever worked for, because I am not able to work, and this Judge made this unfair and inhumane decision, on behalf I felt she is a prejudge Person. It is such a shame that a judge can make this kind of decision, because they don't like a person. What has our country become to. So sad that's it's become that such cases are treated like this. God be with us all.

I recently had a hearing in front of this judge. I felt like she cared and listened to what I am really going through. Unfortunately I had an early morning hearing and mornings are bad and I have a hard time concentrating in the morning. I felt like she understood that and wouldn't hold it against me. Win or lose she was very respectful and did not make me feel uncomfortable being there.

I just had my hearing last week. Judge Valkavich was very thorough and respectful during the heating. She really seemed to care to hear about my side. Win or lose she is a very professional judge.

This asshole alj is the worst of the worst. She relied on a doctor who specializes in family and emergency room medicine for a orthopedic case. I have 22 documented ailments from VA hospital n service connected n she said va holds no relevance n denied my claim. 13 surgeries but this asshole doctor Paul reardon 's opionion holds great weight. I will b suing her n making a public cry 4 her removal. Must be a Obama judge

This is a fundamentally dishonest and unfair Judge. Outwardly, very polite and seemingly caring, she is utterly dismissive of evidence and facts. Horrible, horrible Judge.

Judge April M. Wexler is a Judge who is definitely not aware of the fact that many people who are applying for disability are actual people who have serious pre existing and continued long term medical issues and medical problems. I believe she looks at the actual person instead of the combined medical evidence, which includes narratives MRI's, and x-rays provided by the Medical Doctors. Furthermore I believe that Judge Wexler is biased with many of her rulings and decisions. In my case her words to me directly were " If you can drive then you are not DISABLE period regardless of your medical conditions"

I sincerely feel bad for the other reviewer and hope that he/she has been approved or better yet, healed, I had a different experience. I am a 38 year old male with MRI's that show bad arthritis in multiple places, tile table was positive for severe orthostatic hypotension. BUT, the rest of my illness is an "invisible illness". I did not exaggerate anything, if anything I under-played my illness (stupid pride). Judge Wexler listened to everything I had to say and appeared attentive to my complex issues. I'm not yet sure if she ruled fully or partially favorable, I just received notice from my local SSA, not yet from ODAR. No matter what her decision, I believe she ruled fairly in my case at least. Now, I need to work on getting more tests and trying to find treatment that works so I can get OFF disability! I take off a star on the assumption that the previous commenter was indeed denied based SOLELY on ability to drive.

I'm a 42 which had me worried to begin with. I was quit pleased with Judge Wexler. She listen to what I had to say and treated me fairly. That's all that I ask. I believe she will make a fair ruling based on all the evidence.
