The Ponder Media Group Information

TPMG has established that by following the process outlined in its DVD, an individual applying for Social Security Disability benefits (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income benefits (SSI) will significantly increase the possibility for early approval and in doing so, save the applicant thousands of dollars in representation fees. TPMG emphasizes pre-filing preparation (that can be understood and completed by a majority of lay-persons), and self-advocacy. This includes a step-by-step explanation as to how the Social Security Administration (SSA) makes disability determinations and decisions; the process is commonly referred to as the Sequential Evaluation. TPMG understands that the vast majority of individuals processing claims for the SSA are neither doctors nor lawyers, but commonly referred to as "disability examiners", who are laypersons. TPMG is founded on the established premise that "An educated consumer is the best customer". TPMG brings 40 years of experience in Social Security disability evaluation to this orientation initiative, including 30 years internal experience, and 10 years as public advocate. The internal experience includes years in the training of new administrative law judges, attorney advisers, and other SSA technical staff. This experience further covers all SSA levels from field office claims intake/development, regional office claims and disability coordination with state agencies, and Appeals Council review and adjudication. The Ponder Media Group conducts lectures, seminars and training on the Social Security Disability Evaluation Process. TPMG also broadcasts daily on A.M. Talk Radio and Weekly on cable television; listen-in to "Points to Ponder" on www.whbcam.com from 10:00 to 12:00 noon daily.
