Generally, a state disability agency (usually known as DDS or disability determination services) does not schedule a consultative doctors appointment unless an individual has no current medical treatment, or the medical treatment sources in the file do not provide enough information to make a disability decision. Additionally, there are some conditions such as heart attacks or strokes, which may actually require a consultative exam to ascertain an individual’s current medical status. Whatever the reason for the consultative exam, you must attend the social security medical examination or call to reschedule the appointment if you cannot make your Social Security doctor’s examination. If you miss the Social Security doctor’s appointment, the state disability agency will not have enough medical information to make a decision on your disability claim. Therefore, your Social Security disability claim may be denied for failing to attend your scheduled consultative disability examination with the Social Security doctor.
