Kenneth Tennant applied for social security disability in 1991 after being honorably discharged from military service & after a civilian doctor diagnosed him with a disabling condition. ALJ Donald R. Holloway was unfair in his denial and inconsistent in his reasoning. He asserted that the record lacked OBJECTIVE evidence, but then ordered a highly controversial SUBJECTIVE exam. He refused to hear Tennant who cited two published (J of Rheum) experts who reported that the exam (MMPI) was ""inappropriate for non-exertional impairments."" Since then, the Dept of Veterans Affairs has rated Kenneth Tennant at 100% ""Service-Connected"" disabled. The M.O. of ALJ's being overly adversarial & unfair & even abusive is well documented. Google: Kenneth Tennant. See world respected investigative researcher Gary Null's documentary: Gulf War Syndrome. He features a disabled Colonel that faces an abusive claims process. This misconduct was also exposed by A CURRENT AFFAIR, June 18, 1993 in A SOLDIER'S STORY (Evans). It is highly unlikely that ALJ's get caught or ever have to go back to correct the clear and unmistakable errors. Kenneth Tennant needs a fair and impartial Decision Review Officer at the SSA office of Adjudication & Review, Chief ALJ. Please pass this along to someone who cares. May God Bless your honorable efforts. Ken Tennant's mother is a widow and he has a wife and two children that depend on him.
