Do the rules change with working with attorney adjudicators?
No. WHEN CONTACTED, WORK WITH ATTORNEY ADJUDICATORS TO EXPEDITE DECISIONS IN APPROPRIATE CASES. Attorney Adjudicators review and screen cases for an OTR. Currently, attorney adjudicators have the authority to issue a fully favorable decision OTR when it is warranted. If you are contacted by a hearing office attorney regarding substantial gainful activity or onset issues in a particular case, discuss the matter with the attorney to see if the issue can be resolved without the need of a hearing.
