- Keep seeing your medical doctor while your claim is pending and after you are receiving benefits.
- Do not contact Social Security yourself. If Social Security contacts you, advise them to call us instead. Then call us immediately to let us know.
- If you receive any forms from Social Security, fill them out as best you can, sign them, and send them to us.
- Notify the office if you return to work while your claim for benefits is pending.
- Let us know right away when you start seeing a new doctor or are hospitalized.
- You are responsible for the cost of any medical records needed to support your claim. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that you plan ahead to anticipate these costs. Let your doctor know that you are responsible for these fees. They are often willing to give them to you at a reduced cost, or even for free.
- We ask for your patience as it can take up to 6 months for your first decision, and up to 18 months to get a hearing date. The processing time is not within our direct control.
- If you change your address or telephone number, please contact the office.
- The Social Security Administration will need to see your original birth certificate and proof of citizenship, so be sure to locate those documents. Copies will not be accepted.
