"Why Obesity Is Important, Why We Are Missing It, and What We Need to Do About It" - NOSSCR Presentation

Jinks presented a 1-hour seminar entitled: "Resuscitation of an Old and Friendly Medical Listing aka Why Obesity is Important, Why We Are Missing It, and What We Need to Do About It" on February 22, 2014 to over 60 attorneys from eight states comprising the Tenth Circuit of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives (NOSSCR) in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Jinks addressed the impact that being overweight has on an individual's ability to work, and how it combines with other physical and/or mental impairments to render someone unable to work. His outline was content-heavy and an obesity form for primary care physicians was included in his materials.

Several attendees commented that his presentation was the best one of the seminar. He has been asked to repeat it at the National Conference in Law Vegas, NV in Fall, 2014, where over 1,000 Social Security attorneys will converge for one of their two conferences a year.  Jinks has spoken before four NOSSCR National Conferences over the past three years.
