The alj union didn't embarrass itself, the budding puerto rico scandal wasn't mentioned. Eric Conn couldn't talk, and yes, claimant's reps do game the system especially the national firms. Senator Coburn's take is mostly garbage and we could have used a few real claimants reps and agency mgt comments but overall this wasnt that bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-68365914041445799412013-10-06T20:47:05.471-04:002013-10-06T20:47:05.471-04:00Nothing new here.

This is essentially the same story that the Wall Street Journal reported a couple of years ago.<br /><br />It sounded like Senator Coburn said he wants to help sick, lesser educated, out of work folks with something. What's he want? Indefinite unemployment benefits? Another government program? Does he really have an idea of what he is doing?<br /><br />Too bad CBS did not point out that the AALJ is suing the government about Social Security's case goal for them.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-91243167540853648472013-10-06T20:41:12.078-04:002013-10-06T20:41:12.078-04:00I agree that it was really bad.

Most reasonable people (that isn't a part if the system in some form) will come away with two things: most of those on disability shouldn't be and disability attorneys are gaming the system.

Very biased reporting there 60 minutes: two disgruntle SSA workers; two frustrated ALJs; a Con-man; two lawyers from the disability mill aka Binder and Binder + Senator Coburn who is a long time hater of the disability program. Where was the other point of view?
