Arrive prepared with a valid government-issued ID and a detailed 15-year work history. You should also bring a list of all treating physicians with their contact information, recent medical records, and a current list of your medications. If you have received any prior denial notices, bring those as well. Appointments typically last between 45 and 90 minutes, so plan your schedule accordingly.

Avoid common pitfalls such as submitting an incomplete work history or failing to include the most recent medical records from your specialists. You should also mention all conditions that contribute to your inability to work. Always read every form carefully before signing to ensure your information is accurate and consistent. Missing these details can lead to unnecessary delays in your application processing.

The initial application stage is a critical time to establish the evidence for your claim.
