Medical Documentation
Probably the most important type of documentation that is necessary to successfully prove a disability claim is medical documentation. The medical documentation in your case must be sufficient to indicate that you suffer from an illness or injury that is long-term or permanent in nature – and that this illness or injury prevents you from working in any capacity. This burden of proof is extremely high, and it can be difficult to prove that you are permanently injured or ill without having a qualified health care provider on board in your case.Letter from a Health Care Provider
In order for your disability case to be successful and for you to be eligible for disability benefits, you must have a health care provider on board in your disability case. Specifically, your doctor must allege, in writing, that you suffer from an illness or injury that does not allow you to work. If this medical documentation is lacking at the administrative level, you will have an opportunity to supplement the record on appeal. However, it is important that you supplement the record with the necessary medical records and other documentation at the administrative appeal level. If you wait until a federal court appeal to try to supplement the record, you will not be able to do so at that juncture.Contact a Texas Disability Lawyer Today

Losing my own brother, then my father and sister after long, disabling illnesses just a few months apart drove a career change for me. Before that experience, I never truly understood the place you’re in. I never understood the dramatic impact that receiving (or not receiving) the disability and life insurance benefits you paid for and counted on can have on your life especially when you need to focus on family and healing. What I experienced with my own family now drives the way I view my clients and my work, and I will never forget it!
