Social Security does not require special certification from doctors, all that is required is q valid medical license. Your doc's opinion, both upon initial application and during a Continuing Disability Review, is only one factor in regards to your receiving benefits. Even if you're sent to a "Social Security" doc, they can only give their opinion of the severity of your disability, they don't have the power to grant or deny your SSDI benefits.
Your doc may no longer be comfortable supporting your disability claim. Or he might just be misunderstanding what's required of him. Please verify his signature is even required. If you can post the SS form number if you have more questions, that would help.  |
Thanks but I just realized I may have confused you. It is just an insurance form--not a SS form and you are correct in what you say above that it is only "their opinion" they do not ultimately grant or deny . I did find out that anyone with a physicians license who is treating me for this disabilty can sign.
