I have just started the process of applying for disability. I have started both a social security disability claim, and I have a private disability policy through an insurance agency. Has anyone had experience with a private policy?? I think it will still be difficult to get the private policy, too, from what I now know about insurance companies. Can anyone answer any of these questions:
1. I keep changing my initial appointment with social security, because now I keep reading that it's better to get all of the medical records and doctor's statement FIRST. Should I keep changing it or just go to the appointment without all of the records and letter and instead have the info ready for the first appeal?? Does it matter how many times I change my initial appointment with Social Security?
2. The doctor I have been going to is a gyn, because a few years ago, my uro said I know more than him and that IC is a very small part of his practice. I will probably have to write the outline of the letter for my gyn, because she has never done that before. The insurance company asked me what my "return to work date" is!! I don't know what she should say in the letter. Does anyone know how to address this issue of HOW LONG I will be disabled, or how to word this?? I think this is an important part of the letter. I think it would apply to the social security letter as well.
Thanks so much for any help. I am new to this site. From what I've read here, I guess there are others who find sitting uncomfortable, so thanks for sitting to write me.
