Before you visit
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and a comprehensive 15-year work history to your appointment. You should also provide a complete list of your treating physicians with their contact information and addresses. Bring copies of your most recent medical records, a list of current medications, and any prior denial letters if you are reapplying.
Avoid submitting an incomplete work history, as this often leads to unnecessary processing delays. Many applicants fail to provide recent medical records, which are essential for proving the severity of your condition. Always read every form thoroughly before signing to ensure your information is accurate.
Should you bring an attorney?
The application stage is the foundation of your entire claim, and errors made here can be difficult to correct later. If you apply without professional guidance, you may face significant hurdles if your initial application is denied. A qualified attorney can help you gather the right evidence and ensure your file is complete from day one. Consider a free case review to understand how to best present your medical history.
