My docs refused to clear me to return to work and provided the documentation to support my claim. Got SSDI on the first app. Make sure your documentation is complete, detailed, and accurate as possible.

Excellent advice. SSA has never encouraged applicants to submit medical evidence with their claim but it's always a good idea to let your doctors know that you have filed a claim and that you'd appreciate their cooperation. SSA relies upon a state agency to develop medical evidence and to make the initial decision about your disability. Attorney advocates don't usually get involved in the disability process until the hearing stage. Good luck!
