Your Personal Medical Providers
SSA places special emphasis on the evidence provided through doctors who are currently responsible for your treatment and care. The doctors are listened to closely by the SSA because they normally know your medical history closer than anyone else, including the SSD doctor who may have only seen you one time since your accident. These doctors can hold more weight than others involved in your care. They can provide testimony evidence that is even more compelling than medical records.
Types of Records to Submit
Reports and medical records should include the following:
- Medical issue diagnosis and problem history
- Lab results (i.e. x-rays)
- Clinical exam results
- Diagnosis of any disabling condition
- Treatment prescribed to you along with your reaction to it, and your medical prognosis.
- Statement from the medical provider about your capability or incapability to work based on the medical findings given above – this can include your work-related physical and mental abilities.
Additional evidence you may want to submit, and which may be particularly helpful include evidence of your limitations, test results, and information from physical therapists, social workers, and employers, to name a few.
