Tangled in Fraud Probe, 100s Face Loss of Disability Checks
They have one thing in common: They hired attorney Eric C. Conn, a flamboyant master marketer who billed himself "Mr. Social Security." For years he clogged the highways with neon yellow billboards promising to help people get what they deserved from the government. Too bad all their cases are part of a fraud conviction.
Now none of their old evidence is worth a hill of beans and they all are losing their disability checks. None of the doctor's this man used can be trusted and Disability is not accepting any of their old evidence as proof. If they dont have backdated evidence, they have to pay all that money back to the government.
I feel for these people because some of them might actually have a valid case. When my wife filed for disability it was disapproved and we just appealed ourselves and kept our own money and it eventually was approved. However, we thought about getting a lawyer.
Probably a lot of people had bogus claims like for people with slight cases of depression or people that just cant find a job. This is creating a real mess. It pays to do everything legally.
Never trust a lawyer and always see your own doctors for medical evidence.
