SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY SSI AND DOCTORS

This section of the site focuses on answering questions that disability claimants may have regarding doctors and the roles they play in the disability evaluation process. The articles in this section will include tips on how to deal with one's own treating physician, as well as answer questions about doctors that are employed by social security (these are the doctors who assist disability examiners in making decisions) and doctors that are contracted by the social security administration to perform independent medical exams. However, the most important doctor in any disability case will be a claimant's own doctor--because the medical records from one's personal doctor will weigh heavily on a case.
