Your Doctor and Your SSD Case
Will your treating physician be supportive of your case? If your case is denied at the initial claim and reconsideration levels of the Social Security Disability process, you may need a statement from your doctor that fully documents your cancer diagnosis to support your case.
It might make sense to talk about your disability claim with your doctor to find out whether he or she is supportive of the idea. If your doctor is not, you might want to consider looking for another doctor. This is a smart way to protect your interests and your health.
