I would have no problem with filing concurrent claims if the system wasnt abused so bad. The people with true disabilities aren't the ones filing 9 times.
Biggest problem with the policy is that it doesn't address whether you can file a new T16 claim if you have a concurrent (T2/T16) claim before the AC. If your DLI has expired, you should be allowed to file a new T16 claim while your older claim is on appeal, even if there is a T16 riding along.
ANON 9:57 - This is ANON 9:33 I'm not suggesting they be given special treatment. The ruling just puts folks whose DLIs have expired in an untenable position. Because the ruling does not address the situation where a concurrent claim is pending, if your DLI is expired and you're desperate to put food on the table, you have to give up the pursuit of your T2 claim (and Medicare) if it's joined with a T16 claim in order to file a new T16 claim. SSA needs to clear this up and either allow the new T16 claim or allow the claimant to bifurcate the appeal and proceed only with the T2 claim on appeal.
I would bet that Anon 9:33 is the same person that keeps saying that claimants are wasting the public time and tax dollars, because claimants are either disabled or not; if the ALJ said they aren't disabled, then they aren't, don't you know?

Good for SSA bad for claimants.

Those same people who you say do not have true disabilities are just going to file over and over again at the DDS level.

ANON 9:33 -- Why should SSI applicants be treated differently (and given preferential treatment)?
