I applied for SS Disability and figured that I would be turned down. I was amazed that I was able to get it the first time. Why would you have to have a CE and I didn't? I think what helped me was having all of my surgery records and pictures and of course the drs. statements.

I applied for SSA on Aug 27th. I am at the 7th month mark.
The records were sent, prepared a presentation notebook with tab dividers so they could not misunderstand [I hope].
March 6th & April 11th, were 2 exams SSA set up, they call them CE's, consultation exams. One test was for lungs which is not what I feel disables me. The second appt was to verify I am a real person and not some scammer. The CE was done by Family Practice gent a few miles from my home. He feels I should have disability but who knows what weight he carries.
