Unfortunately right now with sooo many scammers and budget cuts many people involved with ssi or ssdi decisions are afraid to be sacked for giving away the farm or denying the rightful so they compromise, in my opinion.

I was being lazy (in other words, I'm in a fairly high level of pain and didn't want to increase said pain by researching)and waiting for Janke to reply.
This link, describes a similar situation, and the attorney states his client received a PF decision, so she would still be able to appeal if she felt like risking her approval.

This link says that the ALJ can write it as a FF decision if the claimant agrees to changing the onset date.

So Cherry, how are you familiar with this? I'm missing the difference between one ALJ writing it as FF and another as PF.
