I would absolutely pay for it. ALJ's aren't stupid, they're well aware some doc's will make claims that they can't substantiate and having this type of testing will give you evidence that neither you or anyone on your behalf is exaggerating your limitations. This is especially the case with an invisible disability.
Can you make your claim without it? Perhaps, but IMO it's not worth the gamble, unless the cost is such a burden you'll be having a problem covering your necessities. |

Doctors don't want to compromise themselves to false notes on a patient. They have a hard enough time. Any of the good docs. have the tests, medical records to back up what they write about you. ginnie

Hey Mz.......No attorney yet.......I did talk to a local advocate that has helped 34 people and only lost 2 of the cases. But I think if I my reconsideration is denied I will hire an attorney. Just so hard to know who to hire. All the ads on tv and then all the local people. We're about an hour from Atlanta and I'm sure there are some good ones up there.
Thanks.....Debi |

in my opinion your best bet for an attorney is someone who used to work for social security as an attorney. they know the system and have contacts. check your local yellow pages.

I lost, with the ALJ choosing to virtually completely ignore them, instead lending all weight to the SSA hack who had never so much as seen my face, let alone examined me. But attorneys seem to like having the RFC's.... |

Sounds like you're damn if you do, damned if you don't Direwolf.
My advocate says that you never know what the SSDI person is like (or what kind of day they are having) when they review your paperwork. Says if mine is on the 'fence' for approval they may 'approve' because they denied the last 20 they looked at and then again....maybe not. I pretty much believe this. My son works in law enforcement and when he was on patrol and in a bad mood he was more likely to stop someone. He says he sees it in the courtroom all the time. Judge is having a bad day, sick or mad at their husband/wife and take it out on the people that appear before them. Of course I did tell my son not to be hard on people because he was mad at his wife Debi from Georgia |

Did you persue your case any further after being denied at the hearing level? What explanation did they give for your denial? They are suppose to give MORE weight to your "treating" physicians than any physician that has not seen you, the SSA doc that reviewed your file. Where do you stand now? |
