The poor economy and high unemployment rate has caused more people than expected to file for SSD benefits, which is making the backlog worse. When the disability claim backlog gets this bad, the SSA often sees a reduction in less serious disability cases.

For example, disability claims involving lower back pain, nervous conditions, and other less debilitating conditions are becoming less common now, as these individuals rationalize that they may be better off finding less strenuous work than waiting endlessly for their SSD claim to be approved.
