Social Security Disability

Social security cases have been getting more difficult in recent years.  Last time I remember, the national approval rating for claims is at around 24%.  Lots of this has to do with pressure on congress and thus pressure on the SSA to reduced the number of social security claimants.  It is now almost necessary to overkill on medical records to have a shot at these claims.  Additionally, it certain cases it is almost necessary to discuss with a client whether retaining an outside vocational expert may be helpful.
