His report, however, could affect the decision making. When you speak to the Social Security doctor, be very specific in describing the exact amount of time it takes you to run through the sterilization procedure. If you have documentation from your doctor about this procedure bring it. Doctors, especially doctors seeing you on a one time basis for a consultation, are usually not going to criticize or delegitimize the instructions provided you by a treating physician. If the consultative doctor reports that you have this need (20 to 25 minute unscheduled break four to five times per day), there should be no basis to deny your case.
