And that makes them dangerous how? And not all SS cases reach a judge and even those judges don't decide over all competency. VA required my dad to appoint someone to handle his finances to qualify for certain benefits. That didn't make him dangerous.
Sometimes the Social Security Administration (SSA) will decide that it is in your best interest to have your benefit payments handled by someone else. This person, or organization, is called a representative payee. The administrative law judge (ALJ) that hears your Social Security disability case usually makes this decision and may discuss it with you during your hearing
Although the SSA decides who your representative payee is, at your hearing the ALJ may discuss with you whether you have any preferences about whom you would like, or not like, to handle your benefits.
