Congratulations on your "The Dr. Says You Have A Winning Social Security Case. But Do You?! " inspirational thanks for sharing. DSS have got Doctors review reports, 6 weeks for decision 18/05/23. Daily Living 13 & Mobility 10. ☺

Excellent Video. Unfortunately, there are people who get mad when Social Security Denies them Disability also says they have no Right to Deny them Disability. They go on to say Social Security absolutely needs to Approve them because their Treating Physician says they are Disabled and can't Work. They refuse to Understand that's not how it Works because the Claimant has to meet SSA's Criteria to an exact T. They get mad when I tell them this. Please Address the Aspect of the Role of Treating Physicians in this Process as well.

Nice to hear your voice during a hearing. Glad the tech issues were figured out. Be well!

Off topic I got denied 2 times and then waited for hearing with the judge. I did my hearing over a phone. My question I been wanting to ask you is this, while waiting for my decision in the mail but instead got a letter saying they want another hearing day so I had to wait another 5 months for my second hearing. Would you know why I got pushed down for another 5 months and now I have a new hearing on phone on

Thank you for your insistence I not give up & referral, yes we won, I had a strong case full of evidence, just needed a good law firm, thank you again. Freedman law firm represented. My time to appeal was close to ticking away SSD was disastrous with my first law firm. Praise Jesus Christ directed me to you and you stayed with me.

Hello Mr. Ginsberg. I have watched your videos for the past few years. They've been very informative. I've come to a point where I'd like to ask for some opinions with my case. I had my ALJ hearing 2 months ago. This is my second attempt overall trying to get disability approved. My first time seemed to have went well. I had a free advocate at the time who worked with people that had mental health issues. I have severe depression and anxiety. I also had an abundance of other health issues going back 10 or more years submitted. I ended up losing my hearing. My understanding is the judge didn't find me credible because I didn't take a sample med because my specialist said i could increase my nerve med and it'd still be cheaper. I was devastated. So, now heading towards age 40, I have gotten to the end once more, but this time with a well-reviewed lawyer firm. I suffer from gout, ibs/gerd, barrett's esophagus, fibromyalgia, CMT disease, neuropathy, arthritis, tinnitus, frequent headaches and migraines, obesity, diabetes, depression & anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, limited mobility from foot surgeries, multiple PE's of the lungs, and more. I only spoke to my lawyer once before my hearing and once with his assistant. Pretty much tested to see if used key phrases like, "actually" or "to tell you the truth." I didn't do that. So I was told I'll do okay. I personally don't think so. I completely messed things up. I became as nervous as I knew I'd be. I forgot time-stamps and the distance I travel to get things done. I said I did chores, but I did limit it to only three: trash, dishes, laundry. Trash was a small bag I put outside my door each week. Cleaned only my own dishes, which I said only one or two max. My laundry was the same mostly in the whole week and simply dragged them to the machine to clean. I only go to the grocery store and to doctors. I only carry items under 10 pounds. I use a cane always. I said I couldn't do my old job without certain restrictions like not being able to climb ladders and taking breaks whenever I needed. I was asked if I had neck problems. I said yes. It was worse to move up and down. The two big ones I feel I messed up on where the questions about my symptoms from meds. I remembered being tired from ambien and stomach bloating and burning from stomach meds. I said that was it. I blanked. I was missing brain fog, mood swings, body aches, etc. My biggest offender when asked what I can't do anymore I said is not being able to concentrate for long and can't play video games anymore. While true, that was a golden opportunity to say so many other things, such as i can't cook over a stove, mow the lawn, etc. When it came to the vocational expert, jobs were found for me for 3 hypotheticals. However, the lawyer asked the VE if there are any jobs I can do with frequent breaks that would still allow me to make gainful pay. The VE said no jobs to this. End of hearing. I talked to my attorney assistant afterward and he told me the lawyer had let him know my case went well and mine had a good chance of being won. The assistant said what matters is the number of symptoms. I have plenty apparently. I do have a record account of over 1600 pages in my file for evidence. I was confused. I explained to him the issues I felt I had, but he insisted I said the right things and was a good witness. I was told to trust my lawyer as he has had plenty of experience and the judge I had was one of them. So, I don't have a decision yet, but does any of this sound like I'll win? I'll be out of work credits SSDI this year, so if I don't win I'll be out of luck there. I read it's a good sign if lawyer has a positive outlook and I got the "no jobs" reply at the end. I just don't see how I'd win though. I didn't explain how long I was in stores, how far my front door was or the laundry room. I didn't mention I couldn't concentrate counting money or bending and stooping. Not being able to sit or stand for certain amount of time. Stuff like that as well. I'm really depressed and worried. My insomnia has gotten worse and I'm not sleeping well. All I have to hold on to is my lawyer said it went well. How much hope do I have to cling onto with that statement? Thank you for any replies.

Sup y’all! Had my hearing yesterday. I went well in my head. I have a migraine case and I live in Pittsburgh. It’s just so happens today I look up some of my ALJ similar to cases like mine, and he acted pleasant. But those cases are so similar and got denied.😅starting at 1pm today I already figure the worst.

Thank you

I had my consultative examiner's opinion overruled by another Dr at DDS and since I wasn't regularly seeing a mental professional it was removed from my RFC which made it easier for the VE to find jobs and for the ALJ to deny my claim.

Hi mister ginsberg, I have a question. Does whether or not any of your past work was SGA have any impact on a claim? Because I looked up the yearly SGA amounts and none of my past work qualified. Would that be a factor that is worth noting to the alj? Thank you for your videos. You have helped me not freak out so much about my upcoming hearing.

Should I submit the letters from Compensation & Pension exams from VA of my disabilities, HR & Judge stated that I can go back and do my old job (veterans service rep) that I was disabled from I am appealing their denied decision and I did not like having my hearing over the phone where you can’t see me also 1 examination was 5-mins and she never touched me for range of motion

What is special review cadre Jonathan? Please tell me what do they do? Actually I know they conduct hearings, but do they conduct also disability hearings ?what do they do? Please tell me exactly.

Yeah just had my medical CE and he saw me for a total of maybe 7 -8 mins ask me about my back did resistance on my arms and legs and had me squeeze his fingers and that was is it and it was over was with the nurse longer getting my height weight and medicine list.....

I was wondering if you could please provide insight on what happens in a SSI redetermination? What does one need to know? Does ssa ask for medical paperwork? Or do they send you to a doctor? Just wondering. I want to be prepared.... Thank you so much for your videos!

Hi. I’m 59. Worked over 35 years w2. I’m very I’ll. Had disabilities lawyer.

Hi Mr. Ginsberg, I was approved for disability but denied for my monthly payments due to their income threshold. What do you think that I should do?

Can I keep my part time job while I wait for my disability hearing?, otherwise I will have zero income, or is there any other option for this?

Osd is june 2019 .appy 3 tmes denied 3 times for disability then appoved on the 4th try .what application date will ssi use?

I have a status update. It’s say ssa is conducting a non-med review after my hearing is this a good sign I’ll be approved?

Is Mr Ginsburg in Las Vegas ?

That’s if they even speak with your doctor. Some just have u sign releases to manipulate the case. Especially if you can’t get a lawyer. They tell you to contact legal aid bc it’s free, but legal aid gets paid either way. There is no loyalty nor can they be forced to represent anyone. N2M if legal aid can’t help one get a lawyer why would anyone in their right mind take advice from anyone who could potentially sabotage their case… Sometimes a winning case is found unfavorable for other reasons such as stereotypical ideologies of ppl from certain areas or judging one off on their appearance or way of speaking. If ur asked u to assist in finding representation and u send the person on a wild goose chase, everyone is on the same page bc the person ends up having to represent themselves with a speech problem. Now let’s say; the ALJ sees but can’t comprehend bc he did not do the research or purposefully omitted information and decides bc of how u look you are a fraud and mocks u in hearings, lies on paper about the type of hearing had whether telephone or video and has other participants who remain unseen while attending the hearings who know nothing of the job they just have “book smarts” no on the job anything. Or doctors paid for by them who are going to say what they want. Smh follow the money that’s where the loyalties reside.

Do you have one was stroke or tia thank you sir

How can a person qualify for social security benefits even if they haven’t worked for ten years, but did make their 40 quarters?

I need an attorney for these dumb Pensacola doctors 60 days for appeal bout a week ago....I just wAnt to be well....no money.

Mr.Ginsberg I just got a unfavorable notice from Social Security administration alj, do you think i need to try to go the next step are start a new application, My health conditions then took a whole u-turn over the year's, Now how do they think a 52 yr going to survive! when I am seeing a doctor at a clinic, they have did MIRs on me back to back about 7 or 8 that i can remember n the last time in 2021 Dr. George Lucky sent me for MRI's they show that my conditions that i have severe....how will i be able to go back to job when i can't stand up no more than 5 to 10 minutes or sit for no longer then 10 to 15 minutes with severe pain..not to mention with bladder issues haven't to go the restroom every 5 minutes...my whole body feels like it want just shut down from my head to my feet 🐾😭😭😭😭

I didn't get much out of there doctor all he was worried about was COVID my condition condition has nothing to do with it both doctors never even touched me

See that's the problem same issue as if I was to get my prescription refilled and the pharmacy tech says they're not going to refill all of it only part versus what the doctor the actual doctor says I need and he sees me day-in-and-day-out how can a disability judge Deem somebody not disabled when they see a doctor day in and day out and the doctor is telling you hey look man you can't be doing this activity you're hurt too bad you're not physically able to do it someone with an actual medical degree and went to college I was inclined to believe the doctor more than I would some flyby judge that is most likely given a quota each year of how many cases he is she is allowed to approve but unfortunately that seems to be how they get you I had stage 2 cancer and was an accident with 18-wheeler accident back in 2017 I'm still having a hard time being able to work I got numerous doctors telling me I'm disabled but due to my age seems to be a whole different issue I got medical professionals telling me one thing but the second Social Security Disability hears about my age it's a whole nother story it's pretty much like fraud if you ask me I'll take it even a step further we got the report back from when disability sent me to go see their doctor and their own doctors deemed me disabled but still denied me due to my age

I won a case that was remanded from Federal Court back to SSA, with an attorney...i understand the attorney gets up to 25% of backpay if approved. My backpay spans 5.5 years, but i was with this attorney only 2.5 years. Does the attorney get 25% of backpay for the full 5.5 years, or just for the allotted time i was contracted to them, which was 2.5 years?

I looked at the regional judges percentages, for denials, for approved. Just to give u guys some hope look up your judges quirks also. So you know how to approach these people who see we are hurt mentally physically financially!!! Mine unfortunately is Pittsburgh at 38% average approvals, I can’t believe I’ve done wasted a fraction of my life trying to fix myself. Shits really bs

Don't believe it from your doc. I wasn't approved sob
