Im a little confused---i called my case worker to ask why they had not sent me to one of their psych docs and she told me they didnt need to they had enough info------i have significant med record---- i was sent to medical dr also

my worker calls me back today and asks why i didnt see a doc 6-07 to 5-09 the reason is i went off meds due to loss of ins starteed selfmedicating with pills ect what does any of this mean? she then askes forsomeone(my mom) to fiill out of function report-- im afraid this is bad news any thoughts?

One of the things they'll be looking at is continuity of care. If you didn't see a doctor at all for a significant span of time, they'll take that to mean that you didn't need to. You were fine, in their eyes. So I would try to find documentation to support why you didn't see a doctor during that time. Do you have any kind of paperwork to support it? That would help.

I'm not sure that your mom filling out a function report will be of any use, but if it's a form your case worker has customized for you covering that span and is then followed up by a function report from a current doctor, maybe it would help.

Documentation is very important. It sounds like your case worker is trying to get as much information into your file as possible, which is a good thing. Hang in there! It's a long process, but if you deserve it, you'll eventually get it.
