Every Disabled Person Fails This

This podcast highlights a common mistake that many disabled individuals make when applying for or appealing Social Security Disability benefits: not fully describing their symptoms and how these symptoms affect their daily lives. The speaker stresses the need for detailed information about when symptoms started, their nature, location, triggers, aggravating factors, frequency, duration, changes over time, and their overall impact on daily activities. He also explains how the Social Security Administration (SSA) evaluates medical opinions based on criteria such as supportability, consistency, the doctor-patient relationship, specialization, and additional evidence. Inadequate symptom descriptions and inconsistencies in medical records or applications can significantly lower the chances of a successful claim.
