Before you visit
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and a detailed 15-year work history to your appointment. You should also provide a comprehensive list of all treating physicians with their contact information and copies of your most recent medical records. If you have received any prior denial notices, bring those documents as well. Expect your appointment to last between 45 and 90 minutes as a representative reviews your file.
You may delay your benefits by failing to provide a complete 15-year work history or missing recent medical records from your primary care providers. Forgetting to mention mental health conditions or secondary physical limitations can also result in an incomplete application. Avoid signing any forms until you have read them thoroughly to ensure all information is accurate.
Should you bring an attorney?
The initial application stage is the foundation of your entire disability claim. Working with an attorney early ensures that your medical evidence is properly organized and your work history is accurately documented. Most people who apply without representation face significant hurdles if their initial application is denied. An attorney can help you understand your options before you step into the office.
