I applied for SSDI in November 2020 after becoming unable to work in December 2019.

I rode that claim past the ALJ (denied in January 2022) and to the AC, which supported the ALJ's denial in October 2022.

I submitted my second claim in October 2022.

That claim was denied in May 2023. I got a SSDI lawyer and they submitted the appeal in July 2023.

Now my psych - who handles all of my mental diagnoses and treatments, including weekly Spravato sessions, refuses to fill out the SSDI paperwork sent to them because "it's against office policy to handle SSDI documentation."

But I can't get SSDI without thorough documentation from the treating provider.

My GI specialists already completed and submitted the documentation.

It's not even a fee issue. I would gladly pay the fee or see if my lawyer would front it if that's all it took.

But, no. It's simply "against office policy".

I've literally submitted over 3000 pages of supporting documentation for my disabilities, but according to our government, I'm "not disabled" just because my doc won't complete a simple form.

FML

Edit: I'm at my weekly Spravato session. My psych gave me this signed form basically saying "fuck off".

To be fair to him, he did run the forms he received up the chain of command and the Director of Psych told him he couldn't complete them. Six years ago this Director McFuck decided that completing any type of disability paperwork (federal or otherwise) was "too much work" because of the "risk of being dragged to court".

FML twice over.
