It is wise to tell them ALL your treating physicians names, addresses, etc. Let them deal w/whats related & what's not. IT'S THEIR JOB. Remember, the attorney is working for YOU, not the other way around.

The attorney (actually their assistant/paralegal) will do the rest.

If you do not have any attorney, be prepared to do a lot of running around and research. What made it easy for me was to do my own research through my local library. Ever see that "Where did you hear/read that?..on the internet commercial?

GOOD LUCK & HANG IN THERE.

I hand delivered my medical records the next day after applying online for disability. I was denied stating they did not have sufficient medical records. They did not list the medical records I had submitted. Even when you make sure that you have all your ducks in a row, SS will lose your info.
