The Disability Examiner or Claims examiner is the person who handles and manages your claim at the DDS office. This is the person who you can call to get updates on your claim status, or the person who might call you if there is any missing information on your application.
In most cases, after all necessary information is collected by the disability examiner, your medical records are then summarized by the examiner handling your claim, and routed to one or more medical consultant(s) for review. If you are alleging a physical disability, it will be routed to a medical doctor who might or might not hold a specialty. If you are alleging a mental disability, you claim will be summarized and routed to a psychologist for review. Or, if you are alleging a combination of both physical and mental impairments, your claim will go to both MCs, and each will enter his/her findings separately.
