Thanks for replying. In the e-mail my lawyer states "Your doctor does not have to fill out these forms but it can be helpful in your case if they are willing to do so."

I have three doctors treating me and trying to get three doctors to fill out a form and mail it back to me seems like a huge task because doctors move at a snail's pace. It could be weeks before this is done and I want to get on with it , the sooner I get the denial, the sooner I get a hearing .

On the other hand, if having the forms fill out is a game changer for reconsideration then it would be worth the days/weeks it takes to get it all together.
