Information You Need to Apply for Disability Benefits
When you apply for SSD, you have to gather a lot of information about your health and your life in order to persuade Social Security to award you benefits.
These are the kinds of materials you’ll need:
- Doctor’s reports
- Medical test results
- Medical imaging
- Hospitalization records
- Prescription lists
- Details on the demands of past jobs
- Details on your education background
- Financial information
- Statements from people who know you
You don’t have to worry whether you’re submitting everything correctly. You can get a disability lawyer to help you.
The first step to completing a strong SSD application can be talking with a lawyer for an initial evaluation of your situation.
If you decide to keep working with your lawyer, you won’t pay an attorney fee until you win your benefits.
