Elliott Andalman, co-founder of Andalman & Flynn, P.C. of Silver Spring, Maryland and a nationally well-respected attorney in the area of Social Security Disability (SSD) law, lectured on Apr. 29, 2015 via National Webinar on “Documenting and Proving a Client’s Pain to the SSA” (Social Security Administration). The Webinar was sponsored by the American Bar Association (ABA).
The Honorable Jodi Levine, Administrative Law Judge from Oklahoma who decides Social Security Disability Cases, was the Moderator of this event. The speakers, in addition to Elliott Andalman, included Attorney Carl Weisbrod of Dallas, Texas and Pain Management Doctor Jianguo Cheng of Cleveland, Ohio.
Attorney Andalman provided insightful information and strategies regarding the big picture and the minute details that make all the difference in successfully “telling the story” of a disability client’s pain. He discussed documenting it in such a way that the SSA’s Application Reviewers and the Administrative Law Judges have all the pertinent facts and supporting evidence at their fingertips to make a finding in favor of the disabled client.
