Proving You are Disabled for Social Security Disability

Sharon Christie: Proving you are disabled for Social Security Disability Benefits

Sharon Christie from Sharon Christie Law walks you through proving you are disabled for Social Security Disability Benefits. We are asked many times the following “well I have a diagnosis from my doctor this is what it is, is that enough for Social Security Disability Benefits?” Now the answer to that is no. It is not enough, the diagnosis is just the starting point for Social Security Disability. What we have to show the medical evidence which is your medical records. We have to show that your condition whatever you have been diagnosed with causes severe limitations and that those limitations are so severe you are not able to do your old job or any other kind of job out there. So remember a diagnosis is a place to start, but it is not where we stop. We have to prove what limitations you have because of that diagnosis.
