 | Last login: 35 hours agoTim is a guy from North Carolina, USA. I'm a former Social Security Disability Claims Examiner, and a former medicaid caseworker. In 2003, I started a site about the Social Security Disability system to answer questions that people with disabilities have about applying for disability benefits but can never seem to get straightforward plain-english answers to (www.disabilitysecrets.com). In 2005, I realized that blogging allows you to share information a lot more easily and I started "My Disability Blog" where I answer questions regarding how the disability system works and I also track changes to the two federal disability programs, SSD and SSI.
By the way, my stumbleupon screen name was supposed to be a shortened version of "My Life" but...because it sounds like "another phrase", I could kick myself for choosing it |

- Unfortunately, consultative examinations, by their very nature, are often unable to provide an accurate picture of how disabling a claimant's condition may be. The consultative examiners who perform examinations for social security will ordinarily have had no history of treating the claimant and will typically be unfamiliar with the claimant's past history of treatment.
