I wish I'd found this forum before I completed my SS disability paperwork. I've been through **** these past 4 years: breast cancer while pregnant, chemo while preg & after), chemo brain (brain fog), 8 surgeries, surgical menopause at 30, PT for over a year, Chiro, prayer, lost my job bc I didn't heal, anxiety & depression from all of the above, & over 20 doctors.
With all that, I'm being sent to a Chiro by the Disability folks & a psychiatrist/psychologist. You'd think 20+ drs over 4 years would be good enough. Anyway, my Chiro appointment/assessment is Saturday (8/10/13)& honestly I'm terrified. I tend to put on a good show for strangers instead of showing how miserable I am. I don't want to lie & make myself better or worse than the truth, but I don't know how to do that. Any tips? Thx, Erika |

oh I hope someone comes on that knows about being sent to disability dr's. I hired a disability firm, and they took care of the paperwork sent to my dr's and I did not have to see anyone else except my dr's. when the ss dr's read my doctor's RFC'S, I think they r called, they did not agree with my dr's, but the ss advising attorney made them read the reports again and then they agreed with them.
I do know that my neurologist did refer me to a psychologist for an assessment right away when I could no longer work, and she tested me for a whole day. her report was about 20 pages long. they were the only dr's I saw first and then a surgeon. only 3 dr's total. I find it crazy that u have seen so many dr's and with your conditions that they r sending u to their dr's. I know I am not helping u at all, have u hired a disability firm? mine only did disability cases. they do not get paid until u get paid and there is a limit to what they can charge u. OMG u already went...how did it go? |
