To repeat, the Social Security Administration is planning to review the cases of 2,000 more of Eric Conn's former clients.
And, there's this, "Officials say additional information has been received from Conn which implicated another bribery scheme. This scheme involves at least one other judge."

I thought the Court found terminating benefits and rehearing the cases was unconstitutional, but the upcoming hearings are not terminating benefits in the interim, and they effectively seem to be CDRs. How is that wrong?
ReplyDeleteOne district court judge found the redetermination hearings to be unconstitutional, but others did not, and those decisions are all now at the 6th Circuit, with oral arguments set for March 2018. The "redeterminations" are NOT CDRs-in fact many of these folks have gone through CDRs already and found to have continuing disability. These "redetermination" hearings go back to square one--were you disabled or not on your original AOD? You have to come up with the evidence to prove it (and, as we all know, that becomes harder and harder with the passage of time, and Conn's destruction of what evidence he had) and you cannot use any of Conn's doctor's reports, even if that doctor actually saw you, examined you, and filled out his report in front of you. You are not allowed to see the evidence that SSA says justifies the "redetermination" process, the procedures for which, by the way, they basically made up out of whole cloth after the Conn thing broke.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised there hasn't been a mass shooting due to this $#!!¢ and the declining approval rates. Hopelessness, depression and desperation combined with anger over being screwed...
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely not shocking that there is new allegations against another judge a/k/a Charlie Paul Andrus. Andrus was suspected as early as 2002.
