Social Security Disability Requirements
When pursuing Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, it is important to remember that the Social Security Administration (SSA) bases its decisions to award disability benefits on the medical evidence that is presented as part of your case. While the SSA utilizes objective standards in evaluating the evidence that supports a claim, it can still be difficult to present the medical evidence relevant to your case in such a way that is recognized.
At Olinsky Law Group, since 1986 our New York SSD lawyers have been presenting disability claims on behalf of our clients. In 2010 we filed more SSD appeals in the federal courts in New York than any other New York firm. Helping as many people as we have has allowed us to develop a fine-tuned sense of what the SSA looks for in claims of disability. We can help you by preparing the medical evidence in your case in accordance with our knowledge of the SSD process and by working with your doctors on Social Security Disability claims.
What Can You Do to Help Your SSD Claim?
While we can do a number of things to help create an effective case for your disability, there are certain things that you can do yourself to help create a more persuasive case, including:
- Maintain continuity of treatment
- Follow your doctor's prescribed treatment recommendations
- Actively treat for your condition
- See a specialist when necessary
- Secure objective testing such as MRI or CAT scans
