Join host Nancy L. Cavey, an experienced disability attorney, as we tackle one of the most common - and confusing - aspects of the Social Security Disability process: getting answers to your most pressing questions. Whether you’re just starting to consider filing a disability claim or are already knee-deep in paperwork and doctor visits, you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed. In this episode, we’re answering some of the most frequent questions people ask when applying for Social Security Disability benefits. Do you really have to tell Social Security about every medical issue? Which doctors’ opinions carry weight? How far back do your records need to go - and do things like school transcripts, pharmacy records, or information from Short- or Long-Term Disability plans really matter? We’ll break it all down, helping you understand what the Social Security Administration is actually looking for, what your attorney should be submitting on your behalf, and how to use the right documentation to build the strongest possible case. If you’ve been spinning your wheels wondering what matters most in your application - or you just want to make sure you’re on the right track - this episode is packed with practical, straightforward guidance. Let’s get into it - because informed claimants make stronger cases.
In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:
1 - Do I Have to Tell Social Security About All of My Medical Problems if I Am Claiming Social Security Disability Benefits?
2 - Records and Social Security Disability Claims - What Records Am I Expected to Submit, and What Records Are or Are Not Useful
3 - I Am Seeing a Lot of Doctors! Will Social Security Accept Records and Opinions in My Social Security Case From Physicians, Osteopaths, Podiatrists, Optometrists, Psychologists, Physical Therapists, or Occupational Therapists?
