Q: How Do We Prove Disability?

Show Severity We must show that your medical problem is severe. “Severe” means it drastically limits your ability to work. In other words, an impairment or medical condition is severe if it significantly limits your physical or mental abilities to do basic work activities. Show 12 Months Duration We must show that your medical problem will last for at least 12 months in a row or is expected to last that long. Show Functional Limitations We measure your work abilities and work restrictions by obtaining a medical report from your treating doctor. A physical capacity report will be needed if you have only physical limitations; a mental capacity report will be needed if you have only mental limitations; both types of reports may be needed if your case is for both physical and mental problems. We draft and submit these medical reports for you. Whether you can find job is not the issue. Think – how do your restrictions keep you from doing a job? Sitting, standing, walking, lifting, following directions, and handling stress are important in most jobs.
