The Treating Physician Rule is NOT Dead!
Presented by Karl Osterhout, Esq.
Write your awesome label here.
In 2017 SSA eliminated the rule “that treating physicians are best able to provide a detailed picture of a patient's medical impairments over time and gave that physician "controlling weight" (the treating physician rule). By gathering meaningful medical source statements, properly setting forth a case theory in a pre-hearing memo, and knowing what questions to ask the VE, it might render this rule moot. You as a professional representative may use this change in your favor.
