Your Doctor is Important

June 6, 2008 by Dirk.

Your treating Doctor can be very helpful to your Social Security Disability case. You will need to ask her to work with you on your Social Security case.  This will include include having the Doctor note and record: 

• All your symptoms
• Your limitations as a result of your condition
• Your ability to maintain pace required for a full time job
• Your lifting, standing and walking abilities
• Side effects from your medications
• Changes in your condition from visit to visit

Most doctors are very willing to assist their patients. You will need to let them know about the process, or your lawyer can explain what the Social Security Judge is looking for.
