Quality Review Increases

The Social Security Administration pulls disability claims for review that have been decided by the Stage agency at the initial application.  Social Security Disability claims selected for Federal Quality Review are said to be chosen at random, including both approved and denied cases. However, in my three decades as a disability attorney, only approved claims have been reviewed. Each time we check with the local office, only approved claims have been pulled, which shows the process is not random.  Since the beginning of this year, every one of our cases that have been approved at the initial application were pulled by Quality Review.
