My little place re social security lawyer
Q: Can it hurt your case, if your treating physician does not support your decision to apply for social security benefits? A: It is extremely important that your doctor supports your claim. Your physician will have to provide a letter on your behalf that includes details of your condition, your outlook and why your condition prevents you from working. This document from your physician is vital to the strength of your case. A cooperative doctor will also be more likely to assist in obtaining medical records on time. If your doctor does not support your decision to file for social security benefits, find one who does.
