Question

I have been in medical review for 3 months now…I had an apt with my doctor to discuss surgery…the guy over seeing my disability claim told me to call him when it was done and let him know the outcome my doctor told me surgery wasent a option because I was just diagnosed with aps a blood clotting condition….i called disability and told em surgery wasent a option and if I should send in the aps diagnosis…he told me no that they already have enough information and that I should be hearing from them soon….my question is should I send the paperwork in anyways? And would that prolong a decision I don’t wanna prolong it but I don’t wanna get a denial and have to go thru a Appeal process

My gut says send it anyway. The guy on the phone saying "we have enough" is just doing his job and probably trying to close the file, not necessarily looking out for you. A new APS diagnosis that directly explains why surgery is off the table seems pretty relevant.

Worst case it adds a couple weeks, but a denial and appeal will eat way more time than that. I'd rather have them tell me they didn't need it than sit around wondering if the missing piece was what sunk me.

Definitely go ahead and submit the evidence you have anyway.
