Have you had the required medical and mental health examinations?, they do this to determine your amount of disability as pertains to each, I would think you already
have as these need to be done first before the paperwork is handed in.

Have your lawyer go back over the completed forms to see what the determination by the Soc Sec was and if it's different than what was determined by the health examinations, THEY MAKE MISTAKES, if you don't point out any discrepancies to them it can't be awarded as they will not do the work to change the determination, it has to come from you.

Compare your private mental health doctors diagnosis with the one from the doctor Soc Sec sent you to, any difference?, if you've been seeing a mental health professional for any length of time their determination and diagnosis could vary widely from the Soc Sec provided examination/interview which takes what?, an entire hour?.


They make mistakes, find those and it may turn out in your favor.

I hope you find peace and get what should rightfully be yours.
