First thing off, I want to greatly appreciate all of the information you can provide.
My current stance
My SSA evaluation and medical records from my hospital stay in 2015 are only being considered because my doctors records office submitted my records too late and the SSA said they can't wait any longer to process my application. So I will most likely be denied.
When the doctors office finally submitted the records, they copied my entire chart including session notes which I was assured would not happen. I am concerned about the session notes because it notes my use of marijuana in it but when asked by the evaluator when he asked if I did it I said a flat out no with no elaboration. See I had quit smoking the stuff by the time he asked and my current status was no.
Secondly, I have civil union with my partner and since I was dealing with all my doctors in DC they considered us married where it wasn't recognized in VA. My session notes also indicates that we are married but legally we are not. When we introduced ourselves to the evaluator I introduced her as my ad agent and domestic partner, leaving out the civil union part.
Now I know that first of all with the limited medical information they will basing their decision on because they will not be considering my medical charts (maybe for my own good) that were submitted late I am sure I will be denied.
I am working with my doctor to get an abbreviated diagnosis packet from my records which I intend to submit for my appeal, but my fear is that the SSA, once they receive the delayed records will use the notes against me. Of course I will tell my attorney everything but don't know where I stand. Am I in trouble or not?
