When applying for Social Security Disability it is important that you are getting treated for your medical conditions.  If you have a long standing treatment with your doctor the records will show the severity of your condition, and your doctor may be more willing to provide opinion evidence for your claim.  If you do not have regular treatment then the decision maker on your claim will have to make a decision on less than perfect records, and possibly worse may assume because you are not get treatment your condition is not severe.  I know many people do not have insurance and regular treatment may be difficult or near impossible.  If you do not have insurance contact your state government and see if there is any available charity care or free medical clinics in your area.  If you can not get treatment Social Security will most likely send you for an exam with one of their doctors.  Even when you have regular treatment SSA will often send you to their doctors.
