Can you be denied ssi disability if you don't want surgery?

Question

A friend of ours has degenerative disc disease and is applying for disability. They said they could fuse his spine in a couple of spots to repair this. He doesn't want to have his spine fused because this will require surgery. We also know several people who have had the surgery and it turned out to be one of many with each of them. The question is will he be denied ssi disability if he refuses the surgery. I am looking for helpful answers only please, no sarchasm, and certainly not to find out if I have misspelled a word which I'm sure I have and I don't care. Can anybody help?

Answer 1

Dont worry, Its a job to save and help people in all the hospitals around the united states and even in the world. For your friends condition, they wont rifuse because its a proper surgery that must be treated immedietly. Nothing to worry about.
