coincidence? I do not believe so.
Charles, this is great! We, as SSD attorneys, make more money because there is more backpay! Woohoo!
Not with arbitrary amended onset dates from skiddish ALJs...
Unlike the alleged onset dates from the day the factory closed.. I like amended onset dates and use them a lot. Normally these cases are progressive in nature and I pay them based upon the evidence in the record. Impairments get worse with time, ergo, a later onset date than alleged.. Makes sense..
On a recent SAA conference call (and before in SAA training), we were told that the NSU is limiting the total number of SAA decisions issued this year. However, we were never told what that cap for this year is. Everyone went out of their way to avoid saying it, though I will admit nobody ever asked for the figure point blank during any discussion I was part of regarding it.
