Document the individual course of the condition
Treatment history, assessments, provider information, and documented limitations help explain the claim. A diagnosis alone does not show the full effect on work-related activities.
Explain limitations accurately and consistently
Describe the activities affected and the information supporting those limitations. Keep notices and respond to requests for information. A denied claim may have review options and deadlines.
What to have ready for a legal conversation
Social Security decision letters and notices; A list of treating medical providers; Work history and employment dates; Current medication and treatment information. These records can help explain your situation. Start with what you have, and ask the firm which additional information may be useful.
