My doctor says I am disabled. So why is Social Security denying my Social Security disability claim?
Return to FAQsTranscript:
It’s very important to understand that your doctor is there to try to help you get better and address your injuries and conditions, but your doctor is not a vocational specialist and your doctor is really unaware of the standards required for disability under the Social Security Act. So, your doctor is charged with the responsibility of providing the restrictions and limitations, and then it would be up to the Social Security Administration to determine whether or not you’re disabled with those restrictions and limitations.
