I secured my medical records prior to my initial application for disability. I hand delivered the records to my local Social Security Office. My claim was denied due to lack of medical records being received. I am appealing but still wonder what they did with 46 pages of medical records I hand delivered to them the day after my original online application. The records I submitted were never considered in my claim for benefits.
