The National Association of Disability Examiners (NADE), an organization of employees of the State Disability Determination Service (DDS) agencies that make initial and reconsideration determinations on Social Security disability claims, has released its Fall 2005 Newsletter. The Newsletter contains a summary of Commissioner Barnhart's speech to a NADE conference in September. There is also a summary of a presentation made at the same conference by Patrick O'Carroll, SSA's Inspector General, that included showing video of several claimants engaged in activities alleged to be inconsistent with statements the claimants had made to SSA. The Newsletter includes comments made by NADE on recent Notices of Proposed Rulemakings (NPRMs), a good deal of information about NADE members' take on AEDIB, Social Security's paperless system of the future, and a NADE position paper favoring the elimination of the 24 month waiting period for Medicare.
