Reply:When a person files a disability claim in a Social Security office the file is sent (usually electronically) to a Disability Determination office for a decision. They will use the medical release form you signed to obtain medical records from the medical sources you listed when you filed your claim. They will use these records from your doctors to decide if they think your condition is severe enough to keep you out of work for a year or longer, which is Social Security's definition of disability. If you are denied you will receive a notice in the mail and you do have appeal rights. You do not have to have an attorney to file an appeal, so if you are denied visit your Social Security office and they will help you. You can always call your local SSA office or your Disability Examiner to see if a decision has been made on your case.
