Hit SSA with the pertinent reports which prove you are disabled when you file the claim. Sign a medical records disclosure form/s so they can write to your doctors if you are disabled. Then you won't be charged for the records. However, it is always, as Larry says best if you take the report in hand to the Social Security office when you file for SSDI or SSI. Don't take the actual films. Know that typically they deny the first claim, so continue the process, Reconsideration and then Appeal. Your tax dollars at work!!
