Re: Insurance forms/Alan from NC

Hi Alan

I believe talking to a lawyer that specializes in SSDI would be a good idea.

The first visit is free and the lawyer can explain your various options.

Which doctor knows you the best and listens to you? If it is your primary

doctor then have him fill out the form. He should have reports from all the

doctors you see and that should help him complete the form.

Make and appointment and have the doctor fill it out during your visit. Do

not tell them that is why you are scheduling the appointment because they

will just say to drop off the form. Just make an appointment for a routine

check up. Don't show the form to anyone before your doctor comes in the room

because once again they will just take the form and fill it out later.

Just tell the doctor that you wanted to be sure the form is filled out with

your input as well as his.

He may balk a wee bit but you have a talent for humor so turn on your humor

button and plenty of charm.
