What I say about social security lawyer
Q: If your doctor is not supportive of your decision to apply for disability, should you find a new one? A: The claims examiner for your case will place a lot of importance on the letter your personal physician has to provide for your claim. If your physician is not willing to provide a statement or does not believe you should be submitting an application for benefits, it will be extremely damaging to your case. Your physician knows your symptoms, treatments and outlook better than any other agent. It is also necessary that the disability examiner at Social Security has current and thorough records of your injury or condition. Having a cooperative physician will assure that you will not hit any snags when trying to obtain copies of your records.
