If it were, the mass filings would be staggering. What the agency needs to do is stop taking applications from people with no grounds for filing other that just saying "I'm disabled and can't work". The fact that anyone can walk in an office and just file a claim is absurd and really backs up the system for people actually deserving of benefits. If the agency would focus on restricting the application process, many other processes would become less back logged. And yes, before anyone jumps all over me: 1. I know it won't happen. 2. I'm sure all kinds of advocacy groups and the nutty ACLU would file lawsuits against the restrictions. It makes too much sense to work anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-62461659056766542152013-01-18T13:23:15.257-05:002013-01-18T13:23:15.257-05:00This is just 1 last-ditch effort from Astrue to ma...This is just 1 last-ditch effort from Astrue to make it harder to get benefits and make it harder on attorneys. E.g. see the secret ALJ policy.<br /><br />It is soooooo great Astrue is leaving. Hopefully the new commmish has more common sense and does not have an agenda to make it harder to gain benefits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-38891650634476390242013-01-18T11:39:17.251-05:002013-01-18T11:39:17.251-05:00There are seperate rules that allow for rejection ...There are seperate rules that allow for rejection of a claim arising on identical grounds already.
