Question by Melissa: Can an administrative law judge for Social Security get in trouble for lying when deciding an appeals case?
Had my SSI Court Appeal back in November, received my denial of benefits last week (filed another appeal), and when going over the documents that she sent back, nothing was accurate and she didn’t include hardly anything I said during my appearance. She failed to mention that I have severe scoliosis which will require surgery to fix, and wrote it off as “back pain”. She lied about what I can and can’t do, and it just seems as if she totally didn’t listen to a word I said, and didn’t mention anything in the documents. I am very upset, I have a disabling genetic bone disease (that I’ve had since birth and all my drs have said I can’t work), have severe asthma/allergies, scoliosis, degenerative arthritis as well as rhemetoid arthritis, I am not giong to get better. Will only get worse, no matter what “treatments” I am given. Have already had several surgeries and am going back on May 28th for another.
Can anything be done? Except file another appeal and get a good lawyer?
Thanks for the responses. I have filed my case with Binder and Binder.

You absolutely have to get an attorney when appealing Social Security decisions. There is no way out of it for anyone.
Get a lawyer and explain all this to him. He will know how to handle it.
My son receives SSI for being blind and it took me forever to get him some sort of money. Like everyone is saying get an attorney. Get the doctors you have had treatment with to write a couple letters explaining your sitiation. You deserve the money.
