Using a strictly statistical analysis, without reading any files or reviewing any evidence, I agree that a 7% approval rate is as out of the norm as a 7% denial rate.
But then again, ALJ's are paid to apply their own interpretation of the law and regulation, so perhaps the problem is that all ALJ's have judicial independence.
Now DDS employees may deny more cases than they approve, but I am willing to bet that their decisions are more unified, more cohesive, more consistent, across the board; that a DDS analyst in one city would probably make the same decision as a DDS analyst in another city, given the same evidence. At least there would be fewer what is referred to as 'outlier' analysts like there are 'outlier' ALJ's.
