Does Social Security reject disability cases because they are afraid of the system running out of money?
There is much discussion about the future of the Social Security trust fund and when it will run out of money.
Officially, there is no movement to make stricter decisions due to economics or politics.
Most Social Security Administrative Law Judges look at the medical records, the person’s limitations, and work and educational background when making their decision.
They apply the law and regulations to the individual’s situation.
This is what they are supposed to do.
However, there are a few judges who make it their mission to reject most claims. Their approval rates hover around 10 percent to 40 percent.
The typical approval rate is 60 percent.
