Computers, Disability and Delays

Part of the Social Security Administration’s plan to reduce the great number of cases waiting for hearing is to use technology to speed up things.

This may be a great idea, but the problem is in the execution.

For example, have you tried to submit your application by computer or appeal your case denial on line.

It is frustrating, time consuming and mind bending.

Most of us are not computer savy. We can do a few things, but we sure would like it to be a lot easier.

Is that too much to ask?

Make it user friendly and maybe this whole “technology will save the day and reduce case loads and get a social security disability decision in a reasonable time idea” will actually work.
