Question Disability is Requiring a Test

Disability is requiring me to go do a memory test with "one" of their doctors.I do not know what to expect.What happens if they lie and say I am ok?Has anyone else had to do this?I had a few college degrees and now I have "I can't remember **** syndrome with PTSD and a whole list of other injuries. Has anyone ever had to do this and what should I expect?

Am I almost close to the finish line of this?I filled SSI in January and still sitting here with nothing from them but I did receive paperwork, phone calls and now a test from disability?HELP

Hello and welcome. No experience or advice on memory tests. It sounds like you an array of symptoms resulting from the MVA. Did I read your post correctly, you are not taking any medications? Have you been seeing any Dr's for medical conditions? If so, what are they saying for treatment?

Default Hi mia vita

Yes I had to take a test from one of "their" doctors. Usually this works in your favor. This in no way hurt me from getting my disability. ginnie
