SSDI,
I just sent mine in last month. I put psych, pain management and psych for mine. My original disability is neck and back. SS has got to know that people arent gonna be seeing, like in my case, my ortho doctor all the time. There comes a point when the doctor cant do anything more, then off you more surgery.
Personally, i believe seeing your family doctor on a regular basis, should be just as important, because they really are your lead doctor and will send you to where you need to go.

If SS wants to know just doctors you go to for treatment for your original disability, then they should state that and not hold it against you if your last 3 visits to doctors werent directly related to your original disability.
Hell one of my last 3 visits was to heart doctor for all kinds of medical tests, but i actually didnt list that visit.

Just going to doctors for treatments should be good

good luck

Thanks for your answer. Apparently what I put down was okay because I just got a letter saying they would not be doing a review at this time. Glad thats over, it was my first CDR, I learned alot and will be better prepared next time, emotionally that is, so stressful I thought I was going to have to go through the whole approval system again! Thanks everyone for your support!

It's your livelihood, it's natural to stress out when feeling someone or something else is in control.

I'm glad you got the news that you are set for now.

Linda7, often doctors' offices and clinics have a Website with a patient portal. If you've registered there, you can have access to your patient portal and see the dates of any doctor's appointments you've had, plus quite a lot of other information.

If not, you can call the doctors' offices and ask.

ssdirecipient and walking taller, it's been a while since I had to do one of those CDR forms, and I recall that they were always very long but that was years ago. Just speaking off the top of my head here, but I should think that a record showing that you're still under a doctor's care would work to your advantage in establishing your continuing disability. And putting down that you saw the doctor for prescriptions or counseling certainly should indicate that you're still under a doctor's care.

Some people have been diagnosed with a potentially disabling disorder but choose to ignore it and not go to doctors' appointments or take their meds. It is to your advantage to make it known to Social Security that you're not like that.
