Logging Your Medical Activity

From the time you first file for Social Security Disability benefits, it is very important that you keep a log of all your medical activity!

This log should include all your Doctor visits, ER visits, Hospital stays, Urgent Care visits, Physical Therapy visits, and changes in medications, conditions, and diagnoses. Names, addresses, and phone numbers of all your medical providers are also required so we and Social Security can contact them and request your medical records. This information helps us to complete Disability Reports. A Disability Report is required by Social Security each time your case is appealed to the next level. Remember–Medical information makes your case stronger!
