Someone posted a picture of their swollen leg on this site's facebook page with the following statements:
How many of your doctors could walk a hospital floor for an 8 hour shift with these knees. Not many and I did it for 4-5 years before I gave in because of the pain. They only see paperwork and never ask to see you or they would know that a person who has spent 40+ years working without drawing anything from the Gov. is not just playing. They need to see the person before making there decisions from other doctors paperwork.
I responded with this: Thank you for sharing this. You're right. An image can sometimes express more. I think many would agree that this is one of the advantages of the hearing appeal level. You actually meet the individual deciding the outcome of your claim. Approval rates at hearings are substantially higher than at the disability application and reconsideration appeal levels where the decision is made by an examiner who only has access to a file, one that is often part of a caseload of several hundred.
