Common Questions Asked About Disability Claims in Florida
Q: How can I win my Social Security Disability case if I don’t see the doctor?
A: It can be difficult to win a Social Security Disability claim without health insurance or medical treatment because your disability claim is evaluated on the basis of your medical record.
Despite this, many claimants who don’t have medical insurance can win their case at disability hearings before the administrative law judges.
In Pinellas and Hillsborough Coutnies here in the Tampa Bay area, there are three medical clinics that will see those who are unable to see physicians on their own, and these include mental health facilities. Additionally, claimants who haven’t been seen recently for treatment can be sent by the judge to a Social Security consultative medical exam.
We generally try to avoid that and urge that you get medical treatment on an ongoing basis.
Contact lawyer Sharon Barrett at Cavey & Barrett for a list of clinics and medical providers in the Tampa/St. Petersburg who would be willing to evaluate and treat you if you don’t have health insurance. If your claim for Social Security Disability benefits have been wrongfully denied, call 727-894-3188 for a free no obligation consultation with Social Security lawyer, Sharon Barrett.
