Default Response to questions

1) Do I need to submit records that have nothing to do with his disability? Like corotid artery ultrasounds and cystascopes that are not related to the condition and were normal? YES Send alll medical records whether or not they relate to the primary issues. All submitted evidence is taken into consideeration. A combination of conditions can equate to a listed condition although it sounds like you have it covered from the blue book.

2) do physical therapy notes count as medical evidence? Yes

3) how many of his doctors do I need to ask to fill out and RFC form? Does his urologist really need to fill one out when he is seeing him for benign enlarged prostrate? No to urologist because he can't report disabiling conditions. Two - three RFC's will be more than adequate. Get them from doctors who can state what he can and can't do.

4) is a physical therapist qualified to fill an RFC out? Or would I be waisting her time? Yes a physical therapist is a medical source. It depends on what she would say. Give it to her and if the answers she writes aren't what you expect don't use it.
(You should collect all the evidence and submit it with the application. Do not apply on line, easy but not effective)

5) Is it customary to charge $1 a page for copies of his medical records? Because since loosing his income we are broke and relying partially on family to survive right now. It's at the doctor's office discretion. It seems a lot to me. Most offices, if they charge which most do not, is $.25/page.
