When you’re applying for Social Security Disability, there are a few individuals that can have a big impact on your case. But none are more important than the Administrative Law Judge that is assigned to your case.
Your administrative law judge has the final say in whether or not a Social Security disability claimant is awarded compensation. It’s very important that you can count on your judge to be fair, impartial, and thorough in examining all the evidence and testimony provided.
Administrative law judges have to take into consideration a tremendous amount of information. This might include medical records and testimony from the claimant, their lawyer, a vocational expert and other expert witnesses.
After all the work they sift through, they have to make judgement calls in hundreds of Social Security disability cases every year. Even if two administrative law judges have all the same information in front of them, one judge may come to a completely different conclusion than another.
There is pressure on the administrative law judges to limit who qualifies for disability. Some administrative law judges are more difficult to convince than others. Since administrative law judges work on rotation, a claimant has no control in deciding which administrative law judge they are assigned.
If an applicant has to take part in multiple hearings, their cases may go between multiple administrative law judges, each with their own methodology.
