Summary: Social Security may schedule a consultative exam in your case. It is important that you cooperate in the exam. It may mean your win--or lose--your case
You may have been scheduled for an exam with Social Security. This is at no cost to you. It is very important you attend this exam. It may be to obtain information about either mental or physical impairments. This could make the difference in winning or losing your case.
Try your very hardest in the exam. The evaluator will likely administer tests to show if you are not trying hard enough or if you are over acting. Do not try to convince the evaluator you are disabled. Do not say you hurt “everywhere” or “all the time.” Do not exaggerate your physical or mental problems. Do not make faces to show you are in pain. Just do your very best on the exams.
Remember, they may be watching you going in and out of the building or office as well.
