The Importance of Obtaining Medical Evidence to Support Social Security Disability Claims

At some point during your Social Security disability claim, it is likely that you will be sent for a medical examination by the Social Security Administration. Unfortunately, many of these examinations do not result in the type of medical evidence necessary to obtain benefits. For this reason, it is very important that you consult with a lawyer as soon as possible who can work with your treating physicians to provide the type of information needed to establish your claim. Fortunately, the Social Security Administration generally has to provide a greater weight to the opinion of a treating doctor than a consulting physician.  Contact us today to see how we can help you.
