http://www.keefelaw.com Many of our clients ask similar questions regarding why the Social Security Administration (SSA) requests them to be evaluated by one of their doctors. This Massachusetts disability lawyer of Keefe Disability Law explains in this video why the SSA asks claimants to go through a consultative exam.
Although you may have been going to your doctor for quite some time and have supplied Social Security with paperwork, medical evidence and everything they have asked for, they may still be missing something in your file. If the SSA feels that they do not have enough evidence to make a decision, they will ask you to see a medical doctor such as an orthopedic doctor or a psychiatrist to be evaluated for a disability.
If you have questions regarding this process, please call an experienced Massachusetts disability attorney who can help guide you through this process at Keefe Disability Law at 888-904-6847. . You can also review our website http://www.keefelaw.com.
