My Lawyer finally sent in the brief for the appeals council. This is the second appeal to them. I am going crazy dealing with this crap. My Lawyer listed a laundry list of things the judge did wrong. I want to report this Judge for bias, does anyone know how to do that????I am sure everyone that gets denied wants to do the same thing, but we have overwhelming evidience against this judge. So its not just about being ****** that I was denied twice. I have ask my Congressman for there help in reporting him, and they have gave me the runaround. Any help would be nice. Thank You.

If you prevail, perhaps you'll be sent to another ALJ this time. You could post this question at a website that just deals with SSDI/SSI issues like SSDfacts.com I suppose.
Personally, I'd focus on improving documenting my case for my next ALJ hearing. It's unfortunate they no longer allow 2nd applications while pursuing an appeal... |

Also wondering did you get your CD from SS? I got ours and went thru it and printed it out. I see from original application that there were some wrong comments made by the analyst, reviewer. One was they stated he went to church. We wrote that he did not because he wasn't able to sit or stand for length of church. There were some other comments that made it appear he wasn't all that off disability wise. So go thru all your paperwork and make sure it's accurate. |

Probably shouldn't provide your 'overwhelming' evidence here, but other than disagreeing with your lawyer's argument and drawing a different conclusion about whether or not you are disabled, what kind of bias is the judge applying? Were you denied because of your skin color, your gender, your religious affiliations? Or did the ALJ just disagree with you and conclude that the medical evidence did not substantiate your statements? Most of us would actually be biased in our own favor because we think we are right. Someone having a different opinion than you is not necessarily a bias. So if an ALJ approved you, that would prove he/she was not biased because that is the only right conclusion? |

Recently, in the last year or so, I have read in the news of several ALJ's who were forced to either retire or resign because their approval rate was too high. I have yet to see an ALJ forced to resign because their approval rate is too low. There is no justification for a 7% approval rate. None.

I'd like to offer some practical advice. Listen to your attorney. Wait to see what the Appeal's Council decides. At the point you are looking at a Federal lawsuit, than drastic majors like pursuing a lawsuit against an ALJ would be more appropriate, because if you think getting a fully favorable decision is a battle, getting an ALJ removed would be much more difficult. Get your approval and than you could try and bring attention to the problem of ALJs with so few approvals.
It took me many years to get my FF decision. Some of the delays were inexcusably SS's fault. (They lost the paperwork for my appeal for example.) But, in retrospect, most of the delays were caused by me, for a variety of reasons. You truly need overwhelming evidence in a scenario like yours, and that was what I realized, I had a mountain of medical records, but I needed to have my docs address what SS felt was vital, not what I logically thought was needed. |
