Treatment is important in disability cases. Regular attendance at your treating physician’s office is also important. Following your physician’s orders, regularly taking your prescribed medications, eating properly, and physical activity, can make a difference in your well-being and overall health each and every day. All of these factors (treatment, attendance, following physician orders, taking prescribed medications) are just a few of the examples of information provided in your medical records. This information can help provide a snapshot of what your medical condition is, and its severity.
When you file an application for disability, the adjudicator of your application reviews your medical records to determine your eligibility of disability benefits. Missing appointments, not following physician’s orders or recommendations, and failing to take your prescribed medications on a regular basis, can greatly affect whether or not your claim is approved or disapproved for payment of benefits.
In order to make sure that your case is evaluated properly and treated fairly, you should be represented by an attorney, who can properly prepare your case. Having an attorney who knows how to develop and address all the issues that you may be confronted with, can make the difference. Whether you are filing a new application for benefits, need to appeal a denial, or need representation at your hearing, or thereafter, you should be represented by an attorney, who can help you at every stage of the legal process. Major advance preparation is necessary for success. This is not an easy process. You should not attempt to deal with this alone.
