The goal of an SSA analyst is to determine if you fall under their definition of disability so that you can claim long-term disability benefits. As a claimant,you’re responsible for providing medical evidence of your impairments and their severity. While SSA can gather the evidence based on your list of resources,having proof ready makes processing your benefits faster.
The SSA analyst will need medical evidence such as copies of your medical records,health worker reports,and recent test results. However,there are some misconceptions people may have that they unintentionally delay filing their claims. Here are some scenarios we hope to clear up:
Submit them immediately. When you have it ready,it makes filing your claims faster.
Submit the ones you have immediately. Applying early may help you retain your disability benefits. SSA will do the rest by contacting your medical source(s) to send your other evidence to them. Or you can gather the rest to make the process faster.
The SSA analyst will ask you to undergo a Consultative Examination (CE) paid from their pocket. However,SSA may prefer an independent medical source to your hospital or clinic to conduct the CE.
Ideally,CE is a convenient way for claimants to get a complete and detailed medical record sufficient for SSA. But to save time and energy,you can build robust medical evidence to make your process faster without requiring CE or making several trips to the SSA.
Admissible evidence must have the following:
We can use SSA CE’s objective and subjective evidence requirements to show the severity and duration of impairment(s) and how it limits the claimant.
Objective evidence is measurable or clear signs of abnormalities that cannot be faked or exaggerated:
Subjective evidence is documented symptoms experienced by the claimant. The more consistent the subjective evidence is,the stronger it is as evidence:
Your healthcare provider’s assessment of your condition can provide insightful information on how it impacts your life. A signed evaluation or narrative letter of your chief complaint(s) can strengthen your case.
Getting treated frequently helps your doctor be familiar with your conditions and their consistency within your medical record.
