Throughout the Social Security Disability application process, it is important that you continue to regularly see your doctor and follow the treatment that he prescribes. The Social Security Administration may deny an application if it is discovered that an applicant has failed to follow a course of treatment that is expected to restore that applicants ability to work. If you are unable to follow your course of treatment, it is important to speak with your Social Security Disability attorney to see if you may be excused from the treatment. Such valid reasons include religious beliefs, inability to pay, or a fear or surgery.
