Just realized the SSA form 827 trick for getting records faster

Waited 4 months for my doc's office to send records to my lawyer in Oakland. Tried the SSA-827 release form directly with my doctor instead. Took 2 weeks after that. Has anyone else had luck bypassing the lawyer's office for the paperwork? I was stuck at 70% denial rate before this.

Wait, did you use the SSA-827 directly with your doctor, or did you have to get your lawyer to sign off on it first? Curious if the doc's office actually accepted it without the lawyer's involvement.
