How Judge Anderson decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
In the sampled Social Security appeal, he found good cause to reopen an earlier benefits denial because the medical evidence supporting disability did not exist at the original hearing. He also required the agency's onset-date decision to follow the medical record rather than a nonmedical policy choice.
“The Eleventh Circuit has held that "good cause" for failing to present evidence earlier may be found where it did not exist at the time of the administrative proceeding. ... Such is precisely the situation here.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Having studied the memoranda and their cited authorities, together with the extensive record of the proceedings before the Secretary, I recommend REVERSAL of the Secretary's decision denying benefits and entry of Judgment directing the Defendant Secretary to award a period of disability and disability insurance benefits retroactive to the disability onset date of May 8, 1984.”
