I filed for disability at age 28 at my Dr's urging. In fact, he himself took on the job of sending a long list of issues as well as test results to back up his words & also included comments from the team he assembled to care for me. My acceptance letter came back from Social Security in only 8 weeks. We also didn't use an attorney to file. I was extremely blessed to have this Dr and his associates see me through some very serious health issues. I am way beyond the age stated in that application. Unfortunately, I was never well enough to be able to work and still have a long list of issues. Just thought I put this here to emphasize how valuable your Dr words help your case, Im sure without them , I would never have gotten SSDI.
Another great video, thank you so much! There's a couple of things I have found helpful in terms of getting doctors to document the right information. An example is, when they asked me "what makes the pain worse?" I reply "it is worse when I am sitting for more than 10 minutes, when I am standing at the sink doing dishes, when I am walking on uneven ground, or walking on gravel, etc" when they asked me " what makes it feel better?" I reply "putting my feet up and putting ice on them after walking 15 minutes."" "Resting every 2 hours and taking a nap" " taking my medicine which makes me drowsy and sleepy" also, when I call to make the appointment and the reception is asked me " what is the reason you're coming in next week," I reply " I'm having trouble walking, lifting bending, kneeling, standing, maintaining pace at getting my chores done etc... I kind of think those things may help. Another problem that I have noticed , when I look on patient portals and I get the actual clinic notes. The information coincide with the actual notes. I've also made it a priority to get anything corrected on those notes. I will repeat get your corrections made. Then that kind of tells you what kind of doctor you're dealing with. You can go further into your appointments with him knowing what you actually need him to write down correctly. That's all kind of a run-on sentence or rambling some May say. That's just what I've noticed through my experiences. I hope this helps.
That's good information about correcting errors in the notes. I've had to correct errors doctors made in notes about me I found through patient portals!
thank you sir for all of your help! You are providing an incredible service to the people of need of this knowledge at their worst time in life! God Bless you!
Thank you. I am safely on Disability and past a comprehensive Review AND I keep watching videos in order to keep in the know and also so I don't become complacent. One thing I'd like to add to this was one thing I did when I was appealing my initial denial and working with a Disability Rep. I had a bright flash idea and I included my full CV - my master document resume that I used to then customize short resumes from. It had every job I had in my life starting in high school. And in the judge's summary, and I was so proud in that moment reading it, the judge mentioned my "stellar work history" on their way to finding fully in my favor. So if you care to, think about putting together a work history document to include with your documents, it might work in your favor as it did in mine. Cheers!
How does this process work for people with 3+ years of struggling with POTS/Neurocardiogenic Syncope and who haven't responded well to meds/treatments and continue to have symptoms? Vascular doc wants to try leg ablations, but other testing is needed like for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome which I can't afford because I've had 3+ years of tests and only some answers. I also need more vestibular testing. A form is already on file for me with DDS that states I need to elevate legs daily, would miss 2 or more days of work monthly due to my symptoms, would 10+ breaks of 15+ minutes or more each for an 8-hour workday. It also says I would be off-task at least 15% of the time. Lots of lightheadedness, postural problems due to fluctuating blood pressure/pulse and such.
I’m 61 years old, will be 62 in 3 months. I’ve filed for disability, but can’t afford a doctor to help with my disability application. I’ve no idea how to find one ; any suggestions? Need help.
Have you seen any doctors in the past few years? If so, if you give their names and addresses to Social Security they will obtain your medical records. Also if you've been in a hospital, same thing. If you haven't seen a doctor in a while they will probably refer you to a doctor like me for an exam. It's called a "Consultative Examination". Social Security pays for it, there is no cost for you.
What can you do when you are sent to a doctor that doesn’t even speak to you? Should I report this to my adjuster or just wait to see what the outcome will be?
If it was a Consultative Examination for Social Security, and the doctor didn't ask you a bunch of questions it was an inadequate exam, and you should report it. Here is my video on what constitues a good disability exam: ruclips.net/video/QNi_VE-cMmg/видео.html
How do so many able bodied young people get disability checks? I am old and have all sorts of pains, but when I look into it seems impossible or extremely unlikely that I could get disability. so how in TF do all these young people who can run, jump and act all sorts of crazy get disability checks? what gives?

Thank you, Dr. For your help, I am preparing for my 1st general physical tomorrow.
P.S. the picture behind you is not centered on the wall. Lol!
Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks Doc!
Good info. I like the fox eating at the end.
I'm a big fan of the fox. It's a female. Hoping it might have puppies this spring!

There is also a mental residual capacity form. Could you talk about that too? Thanks

I tried, and she got offended, of course.
