HopeSprings Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 What does that mean? Is SS sending you to one of their Dr's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 If it's the type I'm familiar with, it's a fairly long test (around 3 hours) where they have you do various tasks to see how you do them, if you are able to do them and for how many repetitions of an activity you can do them. Use them a lot with people with back injuries etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 no, ss didnt send me there. i had gotten this call from out patient rehab... this girl said my family dr. ordered this test. i never told my dr. i was applying for ss, unless the lawyer sent them papers. chaos, i do have have pain, actually i have pain all over. i didnt apply for ss because of back pain, although it may help. i applied because of dysautonomia. i do not understand why i always hurt. if the cat walks across me, it feels like a knife stabbing me.
