What type of conduct does Social Security consider to be fraudulent?  Are you committing fraud if you exaggerate your symptoms or if there is no MRI to document your back pain claim?

Or does SSA define fraud as conduct that goes far beyond overstating your symptoms? 

In my conversation with former SSA fraud examiner Greg Brinkley we try to draw a clear distinction between statements you might make in writing or verbally that won't result in a claim approval and statements that might prompt a visit from a fraud investigator.

Some Members of Congress believe that the Social Security disability system is riddled with fraud.  In my experience this is not the case but I found Greg's perspective informative and practical and I think you will as well.

Since retiring from SSA, Greg has started his own consulting business called the Disability Yoda, which you can learn about on YouTube or on Greg's website.  Greg is a great resource for the disability community and I'm happy to introduce him to you.
