SSDI and SSI Myths and Misconceptions
All I need is a physician to support my case. During the initial claims and reconsideration process, examiners need to follow a specific quality control system that prevents them from straying from the strict rules and regulations of the eligibility and requirements of a disability claim. In many cases, a doctor’s seal of approval does not greatly help your case in the initial stages, because the application process leaves little room for exceptions. However, during the hearing process, a doctor’s statement can help your case, when it is being presented before a judge.
If I have health problem X, I will definitely be approved. Regardless of whether a claimant has one health problem or a slew of problems, the decision of the case will always be determined by the information provided from medical records and doctors. It is important to continue medical treatment on a regular basis to display that you are doing everything try to improve your situation. If examiners think you could have done more to prevent your disabilities, your claim may not gain approval.
You should file a new application if your claim is denied. The appeals process is easier to navigate in comparison to the heavily denied and complicated initial steps in the disability claims process. There is no need to file a new claim. You should build on the claim that you have already gathered evidence for.
The consultative Social Security medical exam is meant to treat you: The Social Security Administration requires you to attend a medical exam for the purpose of validating medical health records. In may last only ten to fifteen minutes.
I do not need to continue medical treatment. Disability benefits are given to those who have a recent medical record. By foregoing continuous treatment, you are also giving up any documentation regarding your disabilities. Records need to be continually updated in order for claimants to receive approval and subsequent benefits.
Disability cases are meant for elderly people. Whether one is in their 20s or their 70s, age is not a determining factor if the claimant is not expected to return to work due to a disability. If one has medical evidence to prove they are unable to work, and they have sufficient evidence and representation to back up their claims, they may be entitled to certain disability benefits.
