How do Social Security claims examiners (adjudicators) analyze disability claims and what do they do on a day to day basis?

In this episode I speak to Greg Brinkley a former Social Security employee.  In his 27 year career with the agency, Greg served many roles, including that of a  claims specialist (adjudicator), technical expert, fraud examiner and team leader.

Because of his experience Greg was the person that other Social Security personnel relied upon to solve problems, create work flows and handle the most challenging situations.

Since retiring from Social Security, Greg has established his own consulting business helping disability claimants understand and navigate the disability claims process.  His website is at https://www.gregbrinkley.org/.  Greg also publishes videos on YouTube as TheDisabilityYoda where he offers very insightful and opinionated takes about Social Security disability.

This is Part One of my interview with Greg.  Next month we'll be talking about fraud examinations - what triggers them and who is at risk.
