The Social Security Disability Insurance program is intended to provide those disabled Americans who meet the Social Security’s five step sequential evaluation who have both lost income and medical care.
Some have a concern that SSDI may be a disincentive for those that are willing to work.
Nicole Mates and Cathleen J. Mullen of Rand Corporation offered to study “do disability benefits discourage work”.
The authors looked at Social Security Disability applications between 2005 and 2006 and found that:
- “Those who are receiving the margin of allowance for SSDI benefits are strongly discouraged from returning to work if they are awarded benefits.
- Those who are relatively less impaired are substantially more likely to return to work if denied benefits whereas benefits raised with the most severe impairments would not be any more likely to work if they had not received SSDI.”
The one major problem with this study is that it does not address those Social Security Disability applicants who may have been on the margin for allowance of Social Security Disability benefits, but, because of economic conditions have been laid off from work who would have otherwise accommodated for physical and psychological impairments.
If your employer has terminated you because downsizing, don’t be discouraged from applying for Social Security Disability benefits.
Times are tough, times are hard, and you are entitled to Social Security Disability benefits if you can no longer work. Go to www.SSA.gov to apply for Social Security Disability benefits. If your Social Security Disability claim has been denied, remember the Social Security Administration doesn’t always make it easy to get the Social Security Disability benefits that you deserve.

The symptoms of ovarian cancer in the early stages are not often acute or intense. In most cases, ovarian cancer isn’t detected during a routine pelvic exam unless the doctor knows that the ovaries are enlarged. Potential symptoms of ovarian cancer can include:
- Bloating
- Pelvic abdominal pain
- Trouble eating or feeling full quickly
- Feeling the need to urinate urgently
- Fatigue
- Upset stomach or heartburn
- Back pain
- Pain during sex
Unfortunately, the PAP Test won’t detect ovarian cancer as it is only used to detect cancer of the cervix.
Screening tests can include:
- Pelvic exam
- Transvaginal Sonography
- C1025 Test
If you have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, it is important that you be treated by a gynecological oncologist. You can find one in your area by going to The Society of Gynecological Oncologist website or call 1.800.444.4441.

There are over 1,500 Administrative Law Judges in the Social Security Administration that hear Social Security Disability appeals. There is a huge backlog of cases.
Unfortunately, there are judges at both ends of the spectrum.
Some judges award disability benefits more than 85% of the time, while there are other judges that deny benefits 80% of the time.
On average, judge’s award benefits to roughly 60% of their decisions.
While a criminal investigation has been launched on the former ALJ David B. Daughtery in Huntington, Virginia who awarded benefits in every case he saw in the first six months of 2011, that’s the exception and not the rule. The Social Security Disability claim’s process was designed to create uniformity in the decisions. Obviously judges that are on both ends of the spectrum don’t meet that standard.
It’s unfortunate that all Administrative Law Judges are being used as scapegoats when attention should be focused on those judges at either end of the disability awards spectrum.

This report was released jointly by the American Cancer Society, Cancer Action Network, American Diabetes Association, American Wellness Association and Families USA.
There are 18 additional state specific reports including a report about Florida. You can check these out at www.familiesusa.org to learn how Medicaid cuts may impact Florida Social Security Disability recipients.
Cutting off Medicaid recipients from treatment, prescriptions and physicians is “counter to everything that we hope to accomplish” said the chair of the Humane Society, Ron Polluck, Executive Director of Families USA and we at Cavey and Barrett encourage you to contact your congressman to protest these potential Medicaid changes.

For the first time since 2009, Social Security Disability recipients will get a cost of living adjustment known as a COLA of 3.6%. But, Medicare can eat up that increase. If you are enrolled in Medicare, your insurance premium has been deduced from your Social Security checks. Medicare premiums will be determined by Medicare in November 2011.
This increase may not mean that you are getting ahead, but it may just keep you from falling further behind. We realize that getting benefits is an important benefit of getting your Social Security Disability benefits. If your Social Security Disability claim has been delayed or denied. Contact Social Security Disability experts Cavey and Barrett at 727.894.3188.
The Truth About Social Security COLA’s
A COLA isn’t a soft drink, it’s a cost of living adjustment to your Social Security check that helps you keep pace with inflation. For the first time since 2009, Social Security Disability recipients will receive a 3.6% cost of living adjustment. A cost of living adjustment is tied to inflation. On average, Social Security recipients get $1,082 per month or about $13,000 per year; this COLA should be about $68 a year to the average recipient’s Social Security Benefits.

Your Social Security Disability claim may ultimately be decided by an Administrative Law Judge. National statistics show that over 60% of Social Security Disability claims are awarded after a Social Security Disability hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. But, there are some biased judges and in April 2011, a Federal Suit was filed in the Eastern District of New York accusing Federal Administrative Law Judge’s of erecting a “brick wall” of bias denying legitimate Social Security Disability claims.
An independent think tank at Syracuse University released an office by office study of close to 2 million benefit determinations that suggest that “the chance that a disability claim is granted or denied is often determined more by a particular judge assigned to handle it that by the facts and circumstances presented in the case.”
The class action law suit Padar v. Astrue claim’s that Social Security Disability applicants in claims have been systematically deprived of their rights to a “full and fear hearing before an impartial administrative law judge.”
According to the plaintiffs, 72% of Social Security Disability claims are granted nation wide by Social Security Disability judges from 2005 to 2008, yet four the claim’s judges just grant 31-45% of the cases that they heard.
Statistics show that the five judges named in this lawsuit were reversed 80% of the time when their cases were appealed to the federal court.
We hope that the Social Security Disability Administration addresses this issue as quickly as possible so that all Social Security Disability applicants get a full and fair hearing.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Social Security Administration ordered judges to stop deciding disability cases so that the managers could get bonuses. As the article explains, the federal fiscal year can only have 52 weeks. Because the calendar year is a day and a quarter longer than that, every five or six years, there is a “orphan week” so, the purposes of an incentive program was put in place to speed the resolution of cases to have everything done before that week because that week doesn’t count toward their numerical targets.
Social Security Disability applicants can wait years to receive a decision. And the Social Security Administration will handle about 3,000 cases per day. Isn’t it ironic that judges were ordered to stop deciding disability cases so that manager can get bonuses while deserving Social Security Disability applicants whose benefits were denied have to wait even longer to get their Social Security Disability decision.
The Social Security Administration doesn’t make it easy for Social Security Disability applicants to get their benefits.

Times are tough in America because of our difficult economic condition and many Americans rely on the safety net of the Social Security Disability benefits and Medicare.
In an interview with Wolf Blitzer on September 13, 2011, Newt Gingrich said that “uninsured Americans should receive health care through charity organizations and ‘free clinics’ rather than government sponsored programs.”
Picture from Newt.com
Politicians need to remember that Medicare isn’t charity and if you have paid into the Social Security Disability system and you are disabled, you have the legal right to get Social Security Disability benefits and Medicare.

The Social Security Administration has made it tougher for Social Security Disability applicants who have denied to get their Social Security Disability benefits while their denial is being appealed.
Social Security has enacted SSR 11-1p which changes Social Security’s policy that allowed an applicant that was denied to file a new claim while the denial was appealed.
You are going to have to chose between continuing with the administrative appeal or filing a new application, you can’t do both.
That’s bad for disability applicants who have been denied because you have to wait out the appeal process. That means that you are going to potentially have to go to the Appeals Council and maybe even to Federal Court before you get a decision rather than simply letting the appeal run and filing a new claim at the same time.
Social Security won’t let you be on two tracks anymore to get your Social Security Disability benefits.
That can be a problem because your quarters of coverage may expire.
This can cause significant problems for Social Security Disability applicants whose claims have been denied. You should immediately contact a qualified Social Security Disability attorney like Sharon Barrett to learn whether or not proceeding on an appeal or a new application is the best course for you. Contact her at 727894-3188 immediately.
