Social Security Disability Judge Reveals the Evidence She Needs to Approve Your Claim

This podcast episode emphasizes the significance of objective medical evidence in disability cases. Judges rely heavily on solid medical evidence that corresponds to the claimed date of disability, and evidence-driven decisions are crucial. Objective imaging tests, such as MRIs and CT scans, play a crucial role in providing compelling evidence for approval. However, for medical conditions that cannot be imaged, alternative types of evidence, like medical records or affidavits, can be used to prove the seriousness of the condition. Both medical and non-medical evidence, including work history and evidence of hardship, should be provided to build a strong disability case.
