If you have been diagnosed agoraphobic and you have provided the name of the doctor who diagnosed you to your examiner, it will be in the records. However, I would still call to let your examiner know to make double sure. I am very sorry to hear that your examiner was crabby and frustrated you to the point of tears. Without knowing the specifics I can't say how or why this could have happened, although as Janke rightly says, she is supposed to treat you professionally. It might be worthwhile to give her another call at some point, just to check on the status of your claim perhaps, or see if there is anything you can do to help her? It is always possible you caught her at an "off moment" (not really excusable, but I guess we are all human...) so please don't be afraid to speak with her because of one phone call. If she really is mean or unprofessional with you, you are well within your rights to find out who her manager is and let them know so they can investigate and take appropriate action.


Another thought...is this the person at the actual Social Security Office? Because if it is, she might not be the one actually working on your claim. In my state, the claimant applies at the Social Security Office, has an interview with a worker there, who does all the preliminary paperwork and things, and then the case is sent to a different worker for the actual medical portion of the claim. If this is the case, then you may not need to speak with the cranky lady again. Look at your paperwork (you may have received a letter in the mail with a name and phone number on it...if not, you can just go to the Social Security Office, or call them, and they can provide you your worker's number).

Oh my, what a wall of text. Hope this helps. PM me or reply with any questions.
