Within the Social Security Administration, the Appeals Council is the highest decisionmaker. Do you agree or disagree?

What is false? A lower level component can change the decision made by a higher component? The higher level decides to send it back to the lower level for a modification or clarification. That doesn't mean the lower level can change the decision made by the higher level. If I want to keep my job, I can't change the decision made by my supervisor nor can my supervisor change the decision made by the manager and the manager cannot change the decision made by the CEO.

But this is my last post on the subject.

This case is an example of what I was saying, as I said the law books are filled with cases like this.
