Veterans lawyer A review of the basics
The extent of the exam depends upon how much additional information the disability examiner needs to make a fair judgment on your case. Perhaps only bloodwork or an eye examination is needed. When a request for a consultative exam is made, it is because more information about your condition or injury is needed to make a judgment. It is in your best interest to assure that the claims examiner for your case has received all your medical records and is current on your treatments. The biggest reason social security disability claims are delayed is due to absent medical records.
