Interesting Letter About DOT

The CONNECT Board has posted a very interesting letter from the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the Department of Labor. What's that? You can't imagine an interesting letter from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Take a look at it. It ought to rock the Social Security Administration's world. If you don't understand why this should rock Social Security's world, well, you're not a Social Security disability professional.

Right--how can the law and regulations require the use of DOT stats and info that is either hopelessly out-of-date or nonexistent? Is there a chance the Supreme Court could end up ruling on this?
I see claims denied because DDS has determined that the claimant can perform particular jobs whose inherent nature is part-time and minimum wage, that simply cannot be SGA equivalent and are less numerous than in the past, but are apparently listed in the DOT as valid occupations.
