Legal Question in Social Security Law in Florida

Should I tell my SSA disability lawyer I received two different sets of medical records from the PCP who treated me 2013-2014?

Got sick 2013. PCP said stroke. No tests ordered. Got worse. PCP sent to a friend-rheumatologist (RH) 2/hrs out (closest) who says I can't be so sick stop or RH will put me on a crazy list. PCP says he'll manage conditions. Lasts a year. Near end I am treated like faking. RH opens. They find autoimmune disease. Leave PCP. Get their records 04/14 and give to SSA. DENIED. Husband check PCP records and finds severe issues: things missing, pages out of order, vague, doesnt look like med records, no mention of stroke. We decide to move. Before moving husband tells PCP per SSA records look fake & didn't include stroke but SSA won't give copy. Gets second set: Rx refill items in set 1 not in set 2; some face visits in set 1 not in set 2 & vice versa, set 2 stroke visit = "active diagnosis" of "head injury" not in set 1. Offer SSA set 2 they decline. DENIED. Last week found new issue re 05/13: set 1= Rx refill only; set 2= face visit w/ prostate exam, physical & RH advice I get MRI. Now 2 yrs later hearing next mo. Give new lawyer old records on Fri. Should I give both sets w/ info or avoid since SSA doesn't have set 2 + it's old? Concern this'll overwhelm lawyer/delay hearing. Please help

Why haven't you filed for medical malpractice? it is very clear than your records are incomplete and do not address the issues. Yes I would give all records to the attorney and also be looking for a medical malpractice attorney in your area for inappropriate handling of your diagnoses, paper work, insufficient information etc.
