The more information patients have handy, the faster we can determine their eligibility for SSDI:
- Employment history. Ideally, this includes organizations they worked for during the past 15 years, the time period worked and earnings.
-
-
Type(s) of doctor(s) seen, including specialists' names and phone numbers and dates of last visits
-
Hospital or medical center where treatment was received
-
How long the condition has kept the patient from working and dates of any attempts to return to work
-
General list of restrictions/limitations the patient's doctor discussed with him or her
-
List of prescriptions/medications to treat the condition
-
Any Workers' Compensation, state disability, SSA retirement, unemployment benefits or long-term disability (if applicable) the patient is receiving
-
Date and information about the patient's most recent denial (if he or she has already applied and been turned down for SSDI)
-
-
Monies owed: Back taxes, child support, student loans in default or bankruptcy that has not been discharged
