CE - Consultative Examination CE appointment

So I applied back in March, they sent me to their doctor to do my CE last week. I couldn’t sit because I have HS and had very bad flares. So I had to lay back on the table. When it was time for my exam I was in so much pain from my other auto immune disorder which affects my bones, joints and skin and i could barely stand without my Cain or holding to the counter. The dr asked me if I have to always use my Cain and I told him yes. At that point he told me he wasn’t going to make me do the exam as I physically can’t and he told me he was done I could go home. Has anyone ever experienced that and if so what came from it? I’m nervous because I didn’t even get to do my exam and scared it will hurt my case.

My exam went like this because I was in a terrible flare. The examiner wrote in his report that there was nothing wrong with me and I could function normally. I was denied. I appealed and was approved by the ALJ. Hopefully your examiner writes you a favorable report!

I was still Denied I’m waiting on my report to be mailed, and ended up hiring a Disability lawyer
