DI DAL22510.045 Arranging For A Consultative Examination
See DI 22510.045
The attached bilingual regional form may be used by the district/branch offices on
an optional basis in the following situations:
-
1.
During the initial interview.
-
2.
During a work activity only continuing disability review when ODO/TAS has determined
that a medical review is required by the DDS after the DO/BO completes its actions.
-
3.
During the development of a CDR when the beneficiary has returned to work and there
is a medical re-examination diary date. (These cases generally require a DDS medical
review.)
-
4.
In cases where the claimant contacts the DO/BO for assistance with a DDS mailed form
or where the DDS has asked the DO/BO to assist the claimant in scheduling a CE.
If the file does not contain the form and it is not documented that the claimant refused
to sign it, the DDS should assume that the claimant was not asked to sign it.
The claimant's refusal to sign the statement cannot be used to eliminate any of the
established procedural steps in the CE process as required by the instructions to
the DDS's.

UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS STATEMENT IS FOR THE USE OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION,
I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT —p>
It has been explained to me that my application(s) for disability benefits, both Social
Security and/or Supplemental Security Income, will be decided by an agency of the
State government on behalf of Social Security. I understand that I may be requested
to go for a medical examination(s) at Social Security's expense if the records from
my own doctor and/or hospital do not contain enough information to make a medical
decision on my application(s). I agree to go to this medical examination if required
for a determination. If I am unable to attend such examination, I will immediately
telephone the State Agency. I also understand that if travel is necessary, I can request
reimbursement from the State Agency.
If I fail to notify the State Agency that I cannot attend an examination, I understand
my application(s) for disability benefits will have to be determined based on the
information in my file and could result in a denial.
-----
CHECK IF APPLICABLE ----- I cannot afford to pay out-of-town travel.
