Can a doctor "write you on disability" in your Social Security disability case?
Doctors cannot "write you on disability." That's not how it works at all. A doctor can describe your symptoms and how those symptoms are caused by medical conditions and made medical determinations. But whether your receive disability benefits is a legal determination. And the key issue is always: does your impairment or combination of impairments keep you from working 8 hours a day 5 days a week? If the answer is yes, then you are eligible for SSDI/SSI benefits assuming you meet other nonmedical criteria.
