As I've said before, I'm out there representing Social Security disability claimants. My firm is taking on new cases regularly. I'm only seeing a very few claimants with long Covid. I don't see any more problem with those few cases than with other Social Security disability claims which means there are severe problems.
The letter also said that a couple of more general changes should be made:
... SSA should allow appointed representatives to see all exhibits at the initial and reconsideration disability claim stages. ...
SSA should restore the “treating physician rule” so a claimant’s primary care physician or Long COVID specialist can have their medical opinion given the weight it deserves. ...

Also need to do away with "persuasiveness" BS and make them actually apply the preponderance of the evidence standard.
