Your Doctor can certainly help your Social Security Disability case.
You should let your doctor know that you are trying to get Social Security Disability. Explain how you are limited in your daily activities.
At some point you will want your Doctor to write a letter for your Social Security case.
I have seen some letters that are not very helpful. They say things like “Mr. Black has a bad back. He is disabled.” This does not help because it is up to the Judge to decide if you are disabled.
The most helpful letters detail why and how your condition limits you. They leave the ultimate call regarding the disability to the Social Security Judge.
The Administrative Law Judge can read between the lines and see how your limitations will make it difficult for you to work a full time job.
