Are You Seeking Social Security Disability Benefits in Modesto?
The following suggestions can improve your chances of obtaining a successful result in your Modesto Social Security Disability claim or appeal:
- Get appropriate medical treatment for your condition: The documentation from your medical treatment will be one of the most important pieces of evidence in your claim. Maintain regular treatment and obtain the necessary documentation from your doctors. Get X-rays and other objective testing done when appropriate. See your doctors on your bad days, not when you are fully rested and feeling relatively well, because they need to see you when your symptoms are present.
- Keep a journal of your disability: It is important to document the details of how your disability affects your life and your ability to work. Keeping a daily journal can give the SSA a clear picture of the day-to-day impact your condition has on your life and work. Keep your journal short and to the point. In particular, journal subjective symptoms causing objective actions, such as bowel/bladder frequency, seizures, acute asthma attacks, etc.
- Be careful about what you say to the SSA: Any statement you make to the SSA could affect your case. It is helpful to consult with an experienced SSD attorney before making any written or oral statement. Also, have your attorney review your journal to make sure it presents evidence of your disability in a proper manner.
