The Committee on Adjudication will meet to consider two reports, an appendix, and a draft recommendation addressing Social Security disability adjudication. The consultants for this project are Dean Harold Krent of IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law and Professor Scott Morris of IIT College of Psychology.
Recommendation 2013-1 – Improving Consistency in Social Security Disability Adjudication identifies ways to improve the adjudication of Social Security disability benefits claims before administrative law judges and the Social Security Administration’s Appeals Council, suggests changes to the evaluation of opinion evidence from medical professionals, and encourages the SSA to enhance data capture and reporting.
