Author and former Attorney Advisor for America's Social Security Administration, Spencer Bishins, gives us a closer look behind the scenes of what really keeps our nation's disabled from accessing their benefits. This episode is just a taste in comparison to his book, (Excellent read, highly recommend) which goes even further to advise claimants how to protect themselves during the application process and how better to prepare their cases for a more fair and favorable outcome. Also featuring Emily S, a Social Security claimant who, as of yet, has been unsuccessful in her attempt at accessing her disability benefits.

After law school, he worked in the private sector for two years prior to joining the Social Security Administration (SSA) in 2010. He worked at the Appeals Council for almost four years, reviewing thousands of disability decisions for compliance with SSA’s complex rules and procedures. He then worked at the hearing level for seven years, where he drafted almost 2,000 decisions for SSA Administrative Law Judges.
After working for SSA for more than 10 years, he wanted to help demystify the complicated disability system. His first book, Social Security Disability Revealed: Why it’s so hard to access benefits and what you can do about it, explores the obstacles that disability claimants face as they try to access benefits.
