Are you applying for disability and wondering if you need to find a “disability doctor” near you? It’s important to note that there are generally no “Social Security doctors” who specialize in treatment for the purpose of winning Social Security claims. Unlike other disability systems such as workers’ compensation, where claimants are sent for independent medical evaluations for the purpose of determining work ability, Social Security primarily relies on the medical records from your treating physician. In addition, Social Security will rely on any specialists that your treating physician refers you to, physical therapy appointments, and mental health providers such as treating psychiatrists and psychologists.
