Even with the rescission of some of our favorite rulings over the past three years, there are many great rulings that can be used to win cases. We now have key rulings addressing many impairments included headaches, fibromyalgia, CFS, Interstitial Cystitis, RSD and sickle cell anemia. We also have rulings addressing the education category, failure to follow treatment and onset dates. And with the repeal of the treating physician regulations, SSR 96-8p addressing REF still requires consideration of these opinions. This session will provide an overview of key rulings and suggestions for effectively using rulings to win cases.
