I see the miscommunication now! Thanks for getting back to me, those kind of things can trap me as I try and figure them out. I have mentioned my Mensa membership to my psychiatrist but certainly have not mentioned lowering my score on purpose with him.

It does sound like it, but I have been denied twice already. The system is broken. A few years back (2007), internal documents were leaked which indicated that 17% of all claimants died before receiving disability when denied all the way to the hearing stage. Those documents went on to suggest that this was an effective way to reduce costs and payouts and should remain standard operating procedure.
