Doctor Issues and Answers

As far as Social Security disability benefits are concerned, the critical doctor issues and answers are not about the nature of the disability or the original diagnosis. Instead, the focus is on the symptoms and how it impacts the ability of the patient to work and be gainfully employed. In cases where a patient is permanently disabled and clearly unable to work, the doctor has no problems with recommending the patient should apply for SSD benefits. But for border-line disabilities or possible future death from the illness, it's more of a tough call. The paperwork has to be rock solid and in a format the SSA requires, and all the test results and documentation has to be provided to prove the patient has been and will not be able to work for at least a total of 12 months.

Medical professionals play a critical role in this whole process. They are the treating source or another medical source providing evidence on behalf of the patient. Others will be Consultative Examiners or part of the two person DDS team that reviews your applications and makes the decision about whether to approve or reject your application. Yet others can be used by both the SSA to testify as a medical expert when a rejected appeal lands up in front of a judge for a second appeal. Getting help with doctor issues and answers is therefore critical to ensure an application is clearly understood and treated seriously by the DDS team.
