Thus, if a person has a physical problem, they will see a general medical doctor, if they have a psychological issue they will see a psychologist or psychiatrist. Unfortunately, these doctors only see the claimant for a brief period and may not obtain an accurate picture of the claimant’s medical condition or the degree that it is disabling during that brief interaction.   For a Free Evaluation from Michael J. Mooney, serving Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky – social security disability lawyer, click here.   Back to FAQs   Name*: E-mail*: Phone: Your claim or Questions:          FAQs 11.  How much experience do you have with Social Security Disability cases? 12.
