I'm hearing from North Carolina Disability Determination Services (DDS) that they have no more funds to pay for consultative medical examinations and are having some trouble paying for those which have already been held. They also lack funds to obtain existing medical records on clients. These problems will progressively slow disability determinations in this state. I imagine that the circumstances are much the same in other states.

We're seeing them make decisions without obtaining the records and without obtaining CEs on cases they otherwise would.
Here in Indiana they've stopped the CEs (it looks like). I'm also told the DDB has a skeleton staff and is only processing critical cases
Well that will give a huge economic boost to lawyers!!!
