I almost started a completely new thread to discuss this one line but didn't know what forum to put it in. I realize that it may not be popular in the circles we run in, but I am completely comfortable in what I would call 'deception in the pursuit of truth'. I was there when my ninety-six year old grandfather begged my grandmother to let him go and to unplug the machine. I was there when she unplugged it. Had I been asked, I wouldn't have seen anything.
I'm not going to live long enough for it to become a problem. I'm dying as a result of my disabilities. If they deny me and I have to appeal, it is very unlikely that I'll live long enough to collect the back benefits they owe me by their own rules. If I die before those benefits are awarded, my wife gets nothing. If I am awarded disability, I'll be able to set my wife up in a little place and that'll give me a measure of peace.
I've paid into the system for thirty-five years. I have an attorney, and while we expect a win...well, you know what kind of trouble expectations get us in.
Will do - thanks.

I might be wrong, but I think it's a federal crime to intentionally defraud the disability system. If you discussed this lowering your score on purpose with your pdoc, and he added it to his visit notes, this can become evidence in your case. You are posting on the internet that your disability attorney recommended that you on purpose make your IQ appear lower than it is - to me, this is sketchy.
In the end, it sounds like you would get awarded without having to commit fraud. Just my two cents, but what do I know? I am just a regular kinda guy.
