And that is the frightening thing...... different results with same evidence, just different ALJ's.
I recently looked up the stats for the ALJ's in my locality and one of the ALJ's has a 99% denial rate. Several others have denial rates in the 80% range. There are a few in the 60% denial rate. Not a single ALJ has a denial rate less than 50%.
I am awaiting my hearing date and sure hope I do not get the 99% denial judge. I only hope for one that will be "fair" minded.
