PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (AP) — Some former clients of a disgraced Kentucky attorney who ran the largest U.S. Social Security scam in history may have a chance to get their lost disability payments back.
An agreement reached with the Social Security Administration would allow about 500 former clients of ex-disability attorney Eric Conn to request a new hearing to have their benefits reinstated, according to a statement by attorney Ned Pillersdorf. Pillersdorf and dozens of other lawyers have worked with former Conn clients who lost their benefits after he was charged in the scam.
