The big event this week was the publication of a remarkable online Special Report regarding Social Security disability claimants in Delaware and the Dover, Delaware hearing office. The series of stories by The News Journal in Delaware did a remarkable job of humanizing each disability claimant waiting for resolution of a claim. The claimants’ stories are heartbreaking, and several of this week’s posts concerned the Special Report. Be sure to read Delaware disability attorney Steve Butler’s excellent post on the impact of high ALJ denial rates:
