December 1998 - The Social Security Administration has launched a full scale assault on the disabled, says Fred Johnson in the 4th, Millennium edition of How To Apply For And Win Social Security Administration Disability Benefits, just published. Because the social security program is nothing more than a fraudulent Ponzi scheme, bankruptcy is a mathematical certainty. So in an attempt to slow its demise, the Social Security Administration has targeted the most vulnerable group -- the disabled -- to deny benefits.
In a number of crucial ways over the past 3 years, the Administration has issued several edicts which serve to severely tighten its standards by which disability will be granted, thereby greatly reducing the amount of benefits it will have to pay out. Now, a majority of administrative law judges are bypassing the Administration's own standards of severity for granting disability benefits and adopting a "functionality" standard. The result is an avalanche of 90,000 denied cases landing on the doorsteps of the Appeals Council with a waiting time of 18 months to 2 years to get an answer.
President Clinton, who is fond of invoking the welfare of children as a primary justification for additional spending programs, and who now cries "Save Social Security first," signed into law in 1996, a bill which restored a stricter standard of judgment for disabled children. Its intention is to eliminate benefits for 162,500 children.
Johnson, who has helped the disabled win Social Security disability benefits for 10 years tells several horror stories of ways in which the Administration is adding to human misery rather than alleviating it as the program was intended to do.
Originally sold to the public as "insurance" by Franklin D. Roosevelt, social security was touted as the cure for destitution in old age and in the event of a working adult becoming so disabled that he or she is unable to work. As with most government "protection" programs, they become the cause of the problems they are intended to solve. The true solution to the social security crisis is to privatize it similar to the way Chile has for 17 years, says Johnson. Privatization would mean that the majority of workers under the age of 30 could retire as millionaires.
How To Apply For And Win Social Security Administration Disability Benefits is written in easy-to-understand language and reveals the standards of judgment SSA uses to determine disability, how pain compromises the ability to work, what symptoms are important to SSA, how the side effects from medications can help win and the single symptoms which prevent an individual from working.
Calvin Minkler, a user of the guide says, "Its simplicity astounded me ... a gold mine. Its the most helpful book I've seen. The others obscure the issues."
Kudos come from those within the industry as well: "I was very impressed with your ability to explain this program in a very straightforward way and give a lot of good, common sense advice to unrepresented people." Meyer Silver, Esq., and past president of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives.
