A CALL FOR COMMUNITY-BASED INVESTIGATION OF DISABILITY CLAIMS: Consultants have long been concerned about the poor quality of the information upon which they often have to base their decisions.   In this policy statement, the AASSDC calls for greatly-improved community-based investigation of disability claims.   See Policy Statements (below left).
