Treating Source Still Prevails

While the treating physician rule was decodified, courts in the Second Circuit continue to highlight the importance of the treating physician's opinion.

Administrative Law judge Schriver approved the claimant’s benefits back to 2015 today, after he found the treating rheumatologist’s opinion somewhat persuasive concerning the severity of the claimant’s fibromyalgia.

Our client is glad that we never gave up on her and is ecstatic that her benefits were approved back to 2015.  Please call our office for a free phone consultation if you are planning on applying for Social Security Disability benefits.  Our offices are located on Long Island in both Nassau and Suffolk counties.
