Can Social Security Deny Me Without Seeing Their Doctor?

Yes. If SSA believes the existing medical and vocational evidence is enough, it may decide your claim without sending you to a consultative examination.

Enough evidence already

Complete treating records can support a decision without a CE.

Not enough evidence

Sparse records often lead to a CE — or a denial if you do not cooperate with development.

After a denial

You may still appeal and submit additional evidence. Read the deadline on your notice.
