Allsup and AAPD?

I am not certain what this means. Allsup represents many Social Security disability claimants, mostly at the behest of long term disability insurance carriers who are interested in getting their insureds on benefits to offset the long term disability benefits they have to pay. However, Allsup is also interested in the retail business of representing Social Security disability claimants one at a time. Allsup may have entered into some sort of relationship with the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), which bills itself as 100,000 member organization. According to a press release from Allsup some of the leadership of AAPD made a trip to Allsup headquarters. AAPD may be a big deal, but I have not previously heard of them. AAPD's website contains a few -- not many -- links suggesting that they have relationships with some other for profit businesses. I do not see it on Allsup's website at the moment, but in the past Allsup offered a cash bonus to anyone who steered a Social Security disability case their way.

By the way, Allsup's website touts a 97% success rate.
