Disability caused by alcoholism & drug use? You may need to ask an attorney. One that ONLY deals with Social Security Disability cases. The initial consultation is FREE.

SSD cares more about if you are continually seeing a physician for your disability rather than knowing about medical "tests." They go by medical records and most importantly medical notes. However, in your type of situation, "medical tests" may be necessary to determine your claim. An attorney will be able properly advise you if you have a case or not.


Good luck in your sobriety and with SSD!
