Been there, Done that, Didn't get the T-shirt
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, January 17 2013 @ 10:59 PM EST
In my disability case Appeal Hearing, the Administrative Law Judge said that he
"was willing to stipulate that I was disabled if I would change my date of
disability" so that the government owed me less back benefits. I declined
to respond (It's his job, not mine), my attorney said that I declined the offer,
and the ALJ rejected my Appeal. Afterwards, my attorney said that he does that
to lots of people - makes the offer and rejects those who won't play ball.

I filed a request to reopen the case, and asked my senator to intervene. Nothing
yet, nor do I expect to beat the system. You play ball, or you lose. As far as
I can tell, if the only dispute is over the date of eligibility, send me the
money!

Personally, I am more upset about all the OTHER people he has done this to, and
will continue to do this to. I can't think of a slimier thing to do than to
extort a concession from someone who is disabled and has run out of resources,
waiting for the system to pay out of the funds that were paid in over the years
(and misused for balancing other parts of the budget).

And it still goes on.
