QUESTION
Why am I being asked to see SSA''s Doctors after they have 3 years and 2-3 inches of Doctors and Hospital records. Is this a red flag?

I applied for permanent disability and I sent in all the required Docs. Why are they asking that I see their own Doctors.

It is not necessarily a red flag. It may be that they want something more current or non-biased. Either way, don't assume their doctor has read all of your records before you meet. Keep track of the time that you are with the doctor (often 15 minutes or so), and have an observer with you to verify what was or wasn't done, if allowed.
