Determination Services For GA SSI and SSDI?
The Georgia Disability Determination Services at http://www.vocrehabga.org/dasfacts.html is the agency responsible for making a decision related to your disability case when you file for benefits through the Social Security Administration. The Georgia Disability Determination Services comes into play only after a disabled individual has filed a disability application at any of the district SSA offices in the state of Georgia. Once the application is filed, the Social Security Administration reviews your case, accumulates the needed information to make a determination, and forwards it to Georgia Disability Determination Services. The latter organization then reviews the case and examines psychological evidence, medical evidence, your personal statements and the information supplied by your doctors to make a determination about your eligibility.
The Georgia Disability Determination Services Agency may send you letters requesting clarification or additional information pertaining to your case. It is in your best interest to respond promptly to any requests for additional documentation or clarification.

It is imperative that you behave in a responsive manner to any request made by the DDS otherwise your case may be dismissed or closed under the grounds of non-compliance on your part.
