Episode 1 – Unemployment, District Court, and the 40 Hour Work Week.
This is the premiere episode of my new podcast focusing on Social Security Disability issues. I plan on posting new episodes on a weekly basis. The purpose of this podcast is to allow me to talk in more detail about issues in Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income claims. This episode focuses on: introducing myself to my listeners; discussing contradiction between unemployment and Social Security Disability; discussion of privacy concerns when filing a District Court disability appeal; importance of treating physician opinion in Social Security Disability claims; why Social Security uses Consultative Examinations; and importance of being able to perform 40 hours of work per week on a sustained basis in order to be found not disabled.
