Worried how I answered a question on the phone!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

After my claim was under medical review for several weeks, someone from the determination office called me twice and left a voicemail both times saying she only had TWO questions: if I was seeing a psychiatrist and, if not, would I see their doctor. She also said I could just leave the info as a message if she didn't answer the phone. So I figured no big deal and called to say I'm OK with seeing a psychiatrist. Then out of nowhere she was just like, "Tell me more about your anxiety and depression..." Well, I freaked out and froze up, just like I would in person.
I was in tears as I managed to spit out that I'm terrified of dealing with people and that I just can't function in a work environment, can't maintain employment, and am always fired. She didn't press me any further and just told me about the appointment I would have. I'm just wondering if I blew it and should have explained things better? She didn't identify her role and sounded young, so I'm not even sure that was she was the actual claim examiner.

Hi There,

That means they are reviewing your application and making sure you are medically eligible for disability.

What if I can't remember the last time I worked, its been almost 10 years now. Will your administration have that available, if not how can I retrieve it?
