By obtaining your medical records and office notes from your treating physicians and by having your treating physicians complete the medical questionnaires sent to you by your attorney. However, your medical records must be consistent with the answers on the medical questionnaire forms. That depends on what was discussed during your appointments with your doctors. Objective evidence is most important when documenting your doctors’ answers on the medical questionnaires. Objective evidence could be tests such as MRI, CT, X-ray, Range of Motion, Grip Strength, psychological results, and many other objective signs that document all of your symptoms including pain. YOU MUST STAY IN TREATMENT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS, regardless of whether or not anything can be done about your impairment which may be permanent. SSA will continue to deny your case if you are not seeing a doctor. Please view VIDEOS at Avard Law’s website. Pay close attention to the video “HOW IMPORTANT ARE SOCIAL SECURITY’S DISABILITY FORMS”. This will help you to focus on the real issues that decide your case.
