How to Prepare for Your Psychological Consultative Evaluation

Psychological consultative evaluations are used by Social Security to identify any mental health conditions that could impact your performance at a simple, entry-level job.

If you allege depression, anxiety or stress in the forms you submit with your application or appeal, or if your medical record suggests that you may be experiencing depression, anxiety or stress, SSA will send you out, at their cost, for an evaluation with a psychologist on their local referral panel.

My experience has been that psychologists on these referral panels are generally fair and reasonable and that the reports from these visits will rarely damage your claim (unless the psychologist determines that you are faking or malingering).

In this video, I discuss a consultative evaluation report from a recent case. You will learn that the consultative psychologists report extensively on your appearance, manner of speaking and overall presentation. In other words, the psychologist is observing how you answer questions just as much as what you are saying.

If you are not currently represented and you have questions about psychological consultative evaluations, please post your question as a comment below.
