Medical Ce

[sgmdae]

SSD for medical, not a mental CE, but a physical CE, does the SSD require a physical for all cases, or is it the Call SSD. Initially I was told I would need a Physical, they were doing a development because I claimed physical disabilities. The last time I talked them they said they would not need one and I wasn't schedule to have Physical CE

This is puzzling to me. They do have a VA Medical records, but I was lead to believe I would need a CE for them to make a determination.

Any comments would be appreciated.

SSA awarded me SSD (SSDI) in February, 2006 without submitting to an SSA CE. They used my Military & VA, records and the results of my C&P (PTSD 70% - TDIU 100%) granted me SSD based on the above records provided. I remember talking with my caseworker at SSA prior to being granted SSDI and he said that they would not need an exam. I asked him why? He said that SSA had all the info they needed from the VA and no further exams were required. I don't know how others feel about this, but my experience with SSA has been positive. I think it had a lot to do with walking into my local office and personally asking for information. I had emails and direct lines to my caseworkers - or whatever they call themselves. Just before I was granted P&T in January I called SSA and they said I had no further exams scheduled. The point is I asked questions politely and was courteous and honest and consistent in what I told SSA. My VA C&P matched up with all the what I personally told SSA. Granted mine was for PTSD. One of the elders at Hadit had suggested to go down to the local office in a recent post. This is what I did in 2006. Just my experience.

Let me asked this in a different way

I have been awarded 20% for both ankles 10% for one knee, 20% for my Shoulder

and 10% For Tinnitus. Lots of Medical from Va went to SSD

Will they come back with Disapproval, without sending me to CE for physical condition

I thought if they had questions on my disabilities, they would send to one of the SSD CE doctors

Is this true of not??!!
