Answer by  Vladimir (459)

If you are attempting to obtain Social Security (SSD or SSI) based on having Rheumatoid Arthritis, having a medical-legal exam performed by a Rheumatologist is essential. It may also be necessary to have such an exam if you are bringing a suite based on discrimination based on disability or non-accommodation.

A rheumatologist is an MD or DO who specializes in disease that affects joints (arthritis, lupus, etc. ) Most require a referral from another physician.
