Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 Hi, I did not realize that disability was given out in small change and that you have to re-qualify again. Does this mean that I have to get each of my doc's to submit my huge medical record again? It was hard enough to get them to do it the first time.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2000 Report Share Posted January 22, 2000 Depending on the amount of time you're approved for, the SS ADMIN. sends for any needed medical information, once you supply with names and dates of drs. and hospitals. They will send for your records. When I went in front of the judge he had all of my medical records right there in front of him. He questioned me about my stent and sphincterotomy. This made him realize that the treatment that is suppose to make pancreatitis better did not work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2000 Report Share Posted January 22, 2000 HI, Do you have to go in front of a judge the first time you get disability or apply for it?

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2000 Report Share Posted January 23, 2000 Hi Karyn, The answer to your question is NO. The judge is after the 3rd denial for benefits. It's the final decision making process left up to the judge who determines your disability. Keep in mind this is only after you have been denied twice.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2000 Report Share Posted January 23, 2000 no you don't have to go in front of the judge the first time. If you get approved you don't have to go in front of him at all. but if you get denied and have a lawyer help then you have to go in front of the judge and maybe if you get denied the second time. I'm not sure because I was only denied the first time.
