I hear it is your post, how angry and sad you are. Been there a time or two myself. I know this site, gave me tools, information, hope, caring, friendship, prayers, and also a kick in my butt to keep on keeping on. I will be here any time to talk to. I may not have had the same experiences as you have had, but I have had some bad apples in and around my case. My lawyers rep. kept me on an even keel, and made my frantic emotions more settled. I was lucky in that respect. Do you have a friend in your life to help ease your way through some of this muck? Even one person can make all the difference. ginnie

Plenty of doctors have been caught committing fraud to obtain SSI/SSDI benefits for their patients, often in partnership with attorneys. It does happen. Here's one of the largest examples: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_3791910.html

I also think that experiences such as Direwolf's are not at all that rare and people would do well to listen to him.

Otherwise, whoever reads this...fight hard for your case....do whatever you have to do to win it....because God knows SSA won't fight for you to get the monetary help you need and deserve. I know because I've been there, and I'm still there. You can bet I'll be fighting for mine....

I am just going to mention here that we do have guidelines and request members refrain from profanity, as well as making disparaging remarks ("flames") against other members, or name specific professionals in ways that could be construed as libelous.
It is ok to disagree...but please do so respectfully and in accordance with our guidelines

I have had to edit a few posts, and hope the discussion can continue constructively. Thanks.

You can disagree of course and it would be based on your own observations. Like the rest of us.

i disagree with this statement. it has been my experience here that most people who post here are in the process of or considering filing for ssdi or ssi and have questions about the process or concerns on where they are in the process. they outnumber the number of people who are posting because they were denied, and need information to appeal or just support.

I personally would be truthful you really dont want a false diagnosis it wont do you any favours.I also have had issues wiv my sons shrinks etc as i am sure he should have a diagnosid of mild autism alongside his firm ocd/tourettes diagnosis but i will just keep giving them proof till they listen to me

He has alot of traits to which they agree with but cos he lacking one trait they wont back down yet.He also has alot of sensory probs.So getting bk to the point be honest be firm and give them evidence good luck sweety

peace

You're both right. ELA: those that most posters ask questions or respond to others with support for a relatively short period of time. Janke: those that have had a long struggle with approval tend to post here for a longer period of time and post more frequently.

It took me several years to get a Fully Favorable decision (even though I came very close in the first 6 months before being denied in QR.) Why? Well, SS made some blunders, I wasn't adequately prepared before I filed, and having WC involved REALLY made it difficult for SS to determine if I was credible or not.

I spend time here trying to help other's avoid some of the errors I made and to help them utilize what worked positively for me, as well.

I didn't even have therapy at the hospital. After that I was in foster homes because I told them if they sent me home I'd run. I did see a psychiatrist when I was about 17 or so, but I never felt like I could tell them exactly what dysfunction had gone on in our home and didn't even have a clue that I had been molested by my Grandfather. I have been in therapy on and off throughout the years, but since I have physically been unable to work off my manic phases I have had to confront all of my demons. This makes life a lot harder on me these days. I just hope he will see my agony.

Just bumping the original post to get back to the concerns of this member.

Yes, ** saw right through me yes he did, so bright a bulb was he that he had it all figured out, how I and my retinue of physicians had it in for SSA. Sherlock Holmes was a bump on the log compared to that genius, why he intuited that the Orthopedic surgeon, neurologist, radiologist, and the most respected internal medicine provider in my community had all conspired to rip off SSA solely to benefit me!

All of them filled out lengthy RFC's, which he then discarded in favor of the SSA hack, a cretin who has not so much as even lain eyes upon me! ** and many other ALJ's routinely play politics with lives, what do I mean by that you ask? I mean that they giggle to themselves as they plan out the day ahead of them!

That is until a real court takes notice of them, thats when things begin to equalize....

**

I wasn't responding to your post, I was responding to Ginnie's comment that, "Doctor's have nothing to gain by lying." That broad statement just isn't true. Some lie for financial gain. Some tell their patients to fill out their own RFCs and they'll sign it because they're overburdened with paperwork. Etc.

Are their ALJ's that have high denial rates? YES. (I've said this already.) But that is not the norm.

Your situation in all likelihood is not applicable to the OP's. Heck, you're excited to get remanded back to an ALJ yourself.

I didn't really think there were that many doctors willing to commit fraud. I thought most of them are legitimate and would do the correct thing....I guess I tend to think the best of folks. I think most doctors are good at heart. Just like the majority of people really are good. We hear these days more about the negative stuff. ginnie
