Social security disability Learning the basics
Speak with the social security disability examiner assigned to your case if you believe you have not been treated fairly by the doctor who provided your CE. If that doctor provided an exam for a previous case of yours that was not approved, for instance, you can request a different physician. The physicians who provide CEs for social security disability claims are not Social Security doctors. Social Security has a contract with independent doctors who will perform the examinations. Q: Is it possible to get retroactive benefit payments for social security disability? A: A fair number of applicants approved for social security disability benefits receive back payments.
