Your knee jerk reaction to place me and those like me in the "corrupt" group is what is wrong with this entire process. Innocent until proven guilty or by your standards ---.take it from everyone, they're all guilty. Lord help us!!!

In it, an attorney noted that a few of his clients had admitted that their examinations were not thorough:<br /><br />"I do not want to undermine one of our principal arguments, but I think we are all looking for honesty. Many of the exams may have been thorough and legit, but a few of my clients have said they were not. Still it needs to be looked into."<br /><br />Apparently, that comment doesn't help the narrative that the claimants *universally* describe the exams as thorough, so Charles decided not to acknowledge it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-33536625722242381622015-10-10T19:53:52.672-04:002015-10-10T19:53:52.672-04:00and doesn't SSA have in the planning a regulat...and doesn't SSA have in the planning a regulation that will dump the MSS?<br /><br />Considering that most of these submitted by representatives are merely check forms with absolutely no connection to the medical evidence submitted = what a shock such a change could have on cookie cutter representation practiced by most representatives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-65809574365187742722015-10-10T15:56:36.710-04:002015-10-10T15:56:36.710-04:00It's been a long time since I went to law scho...It's been a long time since I went to law school, but doesn't the term fraud have as a necessary element the intent to deceive? And the evidence that any of these doctors had the requisite intent to defraud is what exactly?<br /><br />Oh, yes, I forgot. The "case" is built exclusively on Erick Conn's intent. While he stands convicted in the court of public opinion as announced by Tom Coburn and 60 Minutes(not elsewhere it should be noted), does the law allow that his unproven intent be imputed and generally smeared to clients, their doctors,their dogs and even their cats?<br /><br />And Charles Hall's comment about the medical exams is a result of having polled many who are representing these unfortunate people. The consensus is indeed that the exams were routine and typical of those performed by the medical community for disability rating purposes in a variety of legal settings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-66027479528629364702015-10-10T09:32:41.282-04:002015-10-10T09:32:41.282-04:00If the doctors are willing to fill out MSS forms f...If the doctors are willing to fill out MSS forms fraudulently, why do you think the narrative reports of the exams are any more reliable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-25287523047360461372015-10-09T21:53:51.305-04:002015-10-09T21:53:51.305-04:007:46 can take a look at a sample of the write ups ...7:46 can take a look at a sample of the write ups in the Senate file and then review the testimony of the docs. The narrative reports, including Adkins, look like your basic CE report. The problem isn't with the narrative, it is with the check box form that Conn's office is said to have completed and submitted. There is no credible evidence to support SSA's exclusion of the narrative reports. Shame on the district court for not stepping in and stopping these sham hearings without taking a hard look at the ad hoc procedures SSA cooked up to satisfy its critics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-90369074629105099702015-10-09T13:13:37.405-04:002015-10-09T13:13:37.405-04:00The problem with the delay in the District Court i...The problem with the delay in the District Court is simple. These people are not NFL quarterbacks. If they were NFL quarterbacks they could get quick hearings. Of course, if they were NFL quarterbacks they probably would never need disability.
