major body system. A brief description of the two disability programs
the Social Security Administration administers and how disability is
defined is also provided;

request consultative examinations (CEs); what they look for in reviewing
CEs; and the essential elements of CE reports for specialties most often
involved in CEs for adult and pediatric disability cases;

Relations Officers who can answer your questions about Social
Security disability and tell you about work opportunities with the disability
determination services in your area;
