You do not necessarily need your doctor to write a letter for you in order to win your Social Security Disability case.
Many doctors will not write a letter of support because they think they are too busy or they do not understand the process, or they do not want to get involved.
The best way the doctor can help is through documenting your symptoms, problems, and daily struggles with your illness, injury or condition.
Ask the doctor to make sure he dictates your complaints when you make your doctor visits.
“Doc, I get these terrible migraines once a week. It makes me sick to my stomach. I take my medicine, and have to lay down in the dark for 4 to 5 hours then I cannot get back to normal till the next day. I take my medications like you prescribe and it still hits me once a week.”
Whatever your condition, just make sure your doctor or nurse practitioner dictates or somehow documents your problems and limitations.
This will strengthen your case greatly.
