There are many things you can do but at this point I would like to focus on your relationship with your Doctor. As soon as you think that you’re  going to have to be applying for Social Security Disability I would advise you to tell your Doctor that you’re going to do so. Ask the Doctor what he thinks about that. Does he think your disabled? Will he write a brief note or letter saying that you are disabled? It’s important for you to know what yo0ur Doctor thinks about this. Your Doctor might be a wonderful treating Physician but yet not have much of a feel for the type of mental and physical abilities that are needed to perform the type of work you do on a daily basis. So you need to know what does your Doctor think about this? Maybe your Doctor needs to know why you think you can’t work so they  can put it in your records which will help you win. Occasionally you may even have to switch Doctors if you find the present Doctor is completely at odds with your application for Social Security Disability but hopefully that’s not the case.
