<prompt> Human: Hey guys, sorry if this isnt the right place to post this. I really dont know where else to go short of seeing a lawyer. My friend made his living as an physician. He got his MD a long time ago in his early twenties and had been working up until a couple years ago. He is now 61 years old and has mentally declined to the point where he can no longer work as a physician. We applied online and received a letter saying that he needed to be evaluated by a psychologist in order to prove that he was in fact mentally disabled. The psychologist determined that he was mentally disabled, but not mentally disabled enough to receive benefits, saying that he could still work, albeit not as a physician She said he was not disabled enough to qualify for benefits. My friend has worked as an MD his entire life and now that hes in his 60s I really dont see him working as anything else. Disability benefits would really help his financial situation as he still has lots of expenses kids, housing etc and is living off of savings alone. It pains me to see him out of work and being denied benefits. Any advice would be appreciated.  <response>: The advantage of working with a lawyer is they will refer you to the right psychologist who will be able to properly word their report to get the benefits approved.
