Hi thread. I worked for a little under four years adjudicating disability claims in the state of Texas. I only ever handled initials and reconsideration claims, leaving right before my training would let me do the periodic disability reevaluations to see if people had improved or not at all. Mostly the job involved reading the applications, talking with claimants, requesting and obtaining medical evidence, typing up a summary and recommending a decision for doctors to give a quick thumbs up/thumbs down to.

Depending on which direction you're looking at the program from you're going to see different faults. I certainly don't think the program was perfect, far from it (and probably in different ways than other people would see it), but depending if you're a working from w/in the bureaucracy, a claimant, a lawyer, someone working for a 3rd party non-profit, etc. your views are going to be colored a little differently.
