Does anyone know if changing doctors right in the middle of a disability decision affects your chances of winning?

I have all my paperwork in and they are making their decision they said but I wonder if I need to switch my T or P doc would that look bad or delay or worse a denial?

Any experience you had w/ this would be helpful..

I can't think it would affect "this" decision as they won't know you have changed since they have all their info they want right now. But if you don't get it for some reason on the first go round, then it might be harder for you, getting clarifying or additional info, etc. because you'll have to get it from the old doctors still?
