The Importance of Medical Documentation
If you are suffering from a back injury or disorder, it is important to seek medical treatment. When seeking Social Security Disability benefits, your medical records will serve as documentation of your injury. Without this information, the Social Security Administration may deny your claim.
Our law firm can work with your doctor to seek the type of documentation needed to successfully seek Social Security Disability benefits for a back disorder. We have helped numerous clients seek SSD benefits, and are familiar with the type of information needed to prove the injury and qualify for benefits. Very often, doctors are not familiar with the strict requirements set by the Social Security Administration regarding back injuries. Rather, their documentation is used for their own benefit to trigger their memory regarding a specific injury.
In the absence of these important medical details, the Social Security Administration has an unwritten presumption that the claimant must not be hurting or suffering. By not seeking medical treatment, you are seriously jeopardizing your chances of having your claim accepted. But more importantly, if you are suffering from a back disorder, you should take control of your health and do whatever is necessary to protect your body. Taking commonsense steps, working closely with your doctor, and seeking legal advice from an experienced attorney can help in your pursuit of SSDI benefits.
