Filing for Social Security disability- what to bring when you applyYou have made the decision to file for Social Security disability, and you have an appointment to file with the Social Security Administration. What should you do to prepare for your disability interview and what should you bring? You should be prepared to give the Social Security claims representative information about your treating medical sources such as clinics, hospitals, and your family or attending physician. This information might include addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of treatment. Additionally, you will need to inform Social Security about the types of work that you performed in the fifteen years prior to your disability. You may wonder what work has to do with Social Security disability, other than the fact that you must not be able to work. Well, Social Security has vocational rules that apply to the types of work you have performed, and of course this is part of the Social Security evaluation process. In addition to all of the medical and work information, Social Security will need information about your marriages, children, income, resources, and military service dates to process non-medical issues that are involved in the disability claims process. So what should you bring with you to apply for Social Security disability? You should bring any information which will aid you in providing reliable information for your disability claim. Additionally, you need to bring a birth certificate, proof of marriage or divorce (in the case of disabled widow/widower’s claims), and proof of your military service dates (if you have this available). If you are prepared to give all of you medical information and have the above-mentioned proofs, you should have no difficulty filing for disability.
