FAQ: I have applied for Social Security Disability Benefits and wonder why I have been scheduled for a Social Security Disability medical exam?

If you do not have enough medical documentation to support your claim or you haven’t gotten treatment within sixty days as part of your Social Security Disability application, the Social Security Administration will, most likely, schedule you for what is called a Social Security Disability medical exam or consultative exam. It is crucial that you be prepared for what will happen at the Social Security Disability medical examination and that you be honest and trustworthy. While it is not the job of the Social Security Disability medical doctor to award you benefits, what they say in their report can make or break your Social Security Disability claim.
