5 ways to help your Social Security Disability Case

July 25, 2008 by Dirk.

1. Go to your doctor as often as needed. Social Security is all about medical records. You will not win if you do not have treatment. I know many people do not have insurance. But you need to do what you can to seek treatment- free clinic, public aid card, etc.
2. Tell your doctor everything that causes you problems. All your conditions can be important in Social Security disability. If you do not tell your doctor it will not show up in the records.
3. Tell the judge how your conditions limit your daily activities. The more descriptive you are, the better. This is not like TV lawyer shows where you only answer the question asked. The more the judge knows about your limitations the better your chances.
4. Do not give up. If you are denied you must continue to appeal and file again if necessary. 
5. Be patient. It takes two to three years to go through the process. You must hang in there.
