In this episode, Spencer Bishins, a former Social Security employee and author of 'Social Security Field', reveals the truth about the agency's financial incentive to deny claims and explains the steps to successfully navigate the complex process to access disability benefits.

"Once you understand the process and the barriers Social Security has in place, you can navigate the system and access the benefits you deserve."

Spencer Bishins is a disability expert with a Master's degree from the London School of Economics, a law degree from Florida State University, and over 10 years of experience working for the Social Security Administration. He has written the book Social Security Disability Revealed to demystify the complicated disability system.

Spencer Bishins sold a lot of books about Social Security, and then noticed a financial incentive for Social Security to deny applications. Through his experience rating and reviewing thousands of decisions, he saw that no one was providing a comprehensive guide to the process. He wrote a book to help people figure out the process, to understand that Social Security has a financial incentive to deny as many claims as possible, and to recognize that Congress has the power to adjust the system's financial situation. With this knowledge, Spencer believes that people can navigate the system and access the benefits they need.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. What are the financial incentives behind Social Security's disability program?

2. How can Immigration affect the Social Security trust fund?

3. What should people know about the Social Security disability application process before applying?

I credit a lot of my success to my family, who have always taught me to go after my dreams and never give up.
