your age along with a severe impairment(s) and limited work
experience may seriously affect your ability to adjust to other
work.
3. Person of advanced age. We consider that at an advanced age

adjust to other work. We have special rules for persons of
advanced age and for persons in this category who are closely
approaching retirement age (age 60 or older).
An ALJ authorizes a representative to charge and collect $2,000
for his representational services for a claim for disability
insurance benefits. SSA directly pays the representative $2,000.
Six months later, SSA erroneously paid the representative an
additional $2,000 based upon the same claim. One year after
issuing the erroneous payment, SSA sends a letter to the
representative informing him of the excess fee payment and
requesting a refund within 30 days.
