Get that documentation. They will base their opinion on what a doctor says. Every case goes to the DDU (disability determination unit). The DDU is staffed by clinicians who review documents. In addition to that letter, you will have to have clinical evidence of disability (I assume you already provided that). Those two things combined are very helpful.
