social security disability appeal, mostly
I got several letters from the SS Disability office last weekend, about setting up a hearing on my appeal. This is the stage at which we get to submit more evidence for my claim.
I called my neurologist's office yesterday, in part to ask whether he can help with this, after a single visit. He called this morning and said (reasonably) that the cognitive and neurological stuff is hard to prove, and recommended a neuropsych evaluation. He offered to have his staff make an appointment for that, which I asked him to do.
They called this afternoon to offer me an appointment -- for January 7, that being the first available. I suspect that will be too late to be useful for this hearing, but I made the appointment, and confirmed that I wanted to be on the waiting list for any cancellations.
Also today my eye doctor's office called, to reschedule my annual exam from July to October. I asked to be on a waitlist there as well.
I need to call the lawyer for the disability appeal, but am not sure I can deal with it today. If not, I will call tomorrow afternoon, expecting to leave a message and ask him to call me back. I didn't call him yesterday because I wanted to talk to the neurologist first.
[Noting here to ask lawyer whether we should get in touch with Dr. AbdelRazek.]
