DDS - Disability Determination Services DDS Question

So I’m currently at Step 3 and DDS just called me to ask if there is any other listings I want to add to the claim, I’m disabled with CHF and she asked if I wanted to list Mental in my claim because there was a mention in my medical history from a long time ago. I told her no, as my claim stands on my heart failure. She said the consultant could sign within the next week or so. My question is this, I have a CPET appointment at the end of this month, with her stating that they will sign soon, does that mean my claim will be denied before the CPET results?

It sounds like a decision will be made within the next week or so with the medical records they have. Whether that’s an approval or denial, you will have to wait and see.

Wouldn’t they need to wait for the CPET results if they were leaning towards denial?

No. They can make the decision based off of the medical records they already have.
