What Indiana Workers Need to Know About Evidentiary Requirements (Part B)
In order to fulfill the SSA's evidentiary requirements, you'll likely have to compile records going back months or even years. If you can remember every doctor or specialist you've seen over the years, this would be an easy task. The reality is, without an Indianapolis Social Security disability lawyer to help compile this information, this task can easily get overwhelming.
Gathering Evidence from Acceptable Medical Sources
When gathering your evidentiary requirements for your disability benefits claim, your Indianapolis Social Security disability lawyer will look for documents from medical sources accepted by the SSA, including:
- licensed physicians;
- licensed psychologists;
- licensed optometrists (to demonstrate visual capabilities);
- licensed podiatrists (for foot and ankle impairments); and/or
- qualified speech and language pathologists.
Gathering Evidence from Medical Reports
Your doctors may be asked to submit medical reports to the SSA about your condition. In order to help the success of your application, you'll need to know what information the SSA needs.
An Indianapolis Social Security disability lawyer who has experience with disability benefits claims knows what information your doctors will have to furnish to aid the success of your case.
Medical reports as part of your evidentiary requirements will need to include your:
- medical history;
- clinic and lab results;
- diagnosis;
- treatment history; and
- a doctor's statement.
Since evidentiary requirements are at the very core of determining whether your impairment warrants disability benefits, you'll want to build the most comprehensive listing possible in order to demonstrate that your condition or conditions are debilitating enough to meet the SSA's very stringent requirements.
An Indianapolis Social Security disability lawyer can not only keep you from getting bogged down in the process but can also work to protect your rights. Having an attorney on your side may also help you to keep from making errors that will impact the strength of your claim.
