Overview

Judging Social Security examines the operation and efficiency of social security adjudication, starting from the premise that open and fair procedures for the adjudication of legal entitlements are essential to the good functioning of social security systems but concluding that even procedural fairness cannot compensate for substantive injustice in the entitlements adjudicated on. The study is based upon empirical data gathered as part of a large-scale study of first-tier decision-making within the system.
