Social Security's Disability Service Improvement (DSI) experiment is officially under way today in Social Security's Region I, the Boston Region. However, the central part of DSI, the Reviewing Officer (RO) position is far from ready for business. The reports are that the first ROs will not report for duty for another week and will then begin two months of training. It is also unclear whether other parts of DSI, such as the "quick disability determination" process, the Medical-Vocational Expert System or the Decision Review Board are even as far along as the ROs.
