This is a must listen to podcast for brain injury survivors that struggles with getting benefits from the Social Security Administration!
Spencer Bishins has a master’s degree from the London School of Economics, and a law degree from Florida State University. 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.
After interviewing Spencer I bought 3 copies of his book for social workers at the Philadlephia VA Hospital, Good Shephard and Success Rehabilitation Centers. This book is a must read for anyone who applies for benefits.
