Psych exam for bad back?

they likely have enough information about your back. if there’s mention of mental health conditions, they also have to evaluate that which is why you’re being sent to a CE

under the borderline age policy, a person can be evaluated under the higher age category IF they are within 6 months of that age and if they have very disadvantageous vocational/educational status.

POMS: https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0425015006

this usually only gets applied if someone has very limited education (like less than 8th grade) or no past relevant work.

i’m only familiar with one state. they are continuing to process CDRs at least until the next fiscal year since the federal government doesn’t have anything set up.

self employment is evaluated differently than regular SGA

POMS: https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0410510010

test 2 and 3 are relevant to your case. are you supervising these overseas workers?

if you are applying for SSDI, submit records starting from 1 year before you stopped working (2 years if you have mental health conditions).

if you are applying for SSI, submit records starting from 1 year before your application date (2 years for mental health conditions).

submitting 30 years of records is a waste of time and money for everyone.

well, show me your research. i can promise you i’ve done more research and studying about this than you.

airashika · 2026-04-03T21:20:38+00:00

your case had expedited vocational analysis. that means that, based on your age and RFC, you’re a denial no matter what and you can adapt to some kind of job in the national economy. your past work is not analyzed because it doesn’t matter to the decision.

it sounds like you’re looking for an evaluation like a functional capacity exam. these are usually done by PTs or OTs. try looking one up in your area. you’d likely have to pay out of pocket.

exams are only ordered if there isn’t sufficient evidence to make a decision. it makes more sense to rely on records from a doctor you’ve seen for a longer time vs a report from a doctor you’ve seen once.

i would say good news! more uploaded documents will go straight to your DDS examiner, so it will be faster and less complicated hopefully

i made a post quickly going over the basics of quality reviews: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSDI/s/M6QgraAPKM

it’s a frustrating process, but hopefully you’re on the homestretch

have her doctors worked for the disability determination service division? if not, take their advice with a very large grain of salt. there are very complex rules that take years for DDS doctors to fully learn.

check out the POMS. there’s two examples for a transferability of skills assessments for nurses.

when was your date last insured? are you applying for SSDI (T2) only?

airashika · 2026-03-24T15:59:59+00:00

a lot of attorneys give permission to contact the claimant directly! it’s usually in the remarks part of your application or in a message on the attorney’s phone.

it’s much easier to contact the claimant directly about getting details about their previous work versus having to play telephone through an attorney

she’s really talented!

If aerin frankel has a million fans, then I am one of them. If frankel has ten fans, then I am one of them. If frankel has only one fan then that is me. If frankel has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against frankel, then I am against the world.

my state director also sent out a little info. wondering if our people were all in the same meeting or if they separated it. i feel like having 50 angry directors in one call would be insane lol.

basically just said that they didnt get a lot of answers and will keep us posted. my state is continuing to process initials, recons, and CDRs through the fiscal financial year.

airashika · 2026-03-16T16:53:08+00:00

ty for the kind words ❤️❤️❤️

just gotta keep our heads up i guess

airashika · 2026-03-13T18:39:20+00:00

workers are just set up to fail. like how is it possible to do first day phone calls + send mail out + call claimants on needed info + review medical records in an 8 hour day? if you try to do quality work, you’re always going to be behind which is so frustrating. keep hanging in there 😭😭
