More details to this question:
I have chiari malformation and I refuse medical treatment of any kind because of my beliefs. It is life threatening but its my choice. Would I be,rejected for ssi for refusal of treatment? And would they take just a diagnosis because I havent received any type of care of the chiari since,2012 when it was,discovered? A Dr. Screwed me up and I lost all trust for doctors everywhere.

Refusing support, although worthy can also be costly when applying for Social Security Disability benefits. The government wants to see that you are receiving the necessary care in order to improve your overall health and well being.
