Using total number of claims filed, initial approvals outnumber ALJ approvals by 3 to 1, and AC approvals by 1700 to 1 for all claims filed. This includes claims filed by people who are required by their LTD to file a claim.
Chart speaks for itself.
AC finds an error is less than one out of four. Still, an error is not an automatic approval. Still worth filing an AC request but should also file a new claim at the same time or go back to work.

That number only considered half the number of cases processed. I was speaking of the 2002 chart that you posted. You have said yourself in post #6 that the internet numbers and even numbers posted on this site cannot be considered accurate.
