MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT HE DOESN’T WANT TO APPEAR AT THE HEARING. WILL MY CASE BE DISMISSED IF MY DOCTOR DOESN’T APPEAR?
Very rarely do doctors ever appear at the hearing on your behalf. Occasionally the government has non-examining doctors who appear and testify. Your doctors will usually supply medical information by writing a letter or filling out various forms explaining your disability. Your case will not be dismissed if you don’t have your doctor appear. In fact, less than one percent of hearings have your doctors appearing.
