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.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
