Are CEs always bad?
I applied for SSDI back in October. I have close to 1,000 pages of medical records from my GP, neurologist, psychiatrist, pain management, orthopedic surgeon, gastroenterologist, therapist, and hospitals among others. I had both a physical and mental health status exam last month. Both were about an hour and extremely throughly. I’m still on Step 3 where it says they are requesting medical records. I’m guessing since I had the CEs I should hear soon, but I keep reading they are generally not good :( I did apply with the help of a lawyer because my health problems don’t allow me to stay on top of things like I want to.
