Medical Evidence: The Backbone Of Your Disability Claim
Comprehensive medical evidence is critical for substantiating disability claims and obtaining Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
At Robert D. Paulbeck, Attorney at Law, I bring over 35 years of experience navigating the complex SSD/SSI system. My Trenton firm supports clients in Michigan through every stage of the claims process – including gathering the strong documentation needed to build a compelling disability case.
What Counts As Medical Evidence?
When filing for SSD/SSI, it’s essential to provide a wide range of detailed medical records, including:
- Treatment notes from physicians and therapists
- Diagnostic test results like X-rays, MRIs, blood work
- Hospital records and discharge summaries
- Complete medication lists
- Comprehensive statements from treating doctors outlining the specific nature, severity and limitations caused by your disabling condition
Gathering and submitting this extensive documentation from all relevant medical sources is crucial for building a strong evidentiary record for your disability claim.
Overcoming The Documentation Hurdle
Obtaining this extensive medical evidence from various health care providers over different periods can be a difficult task for most individuals. However, an experienced disability attorney like myself can assist in efficiently requesting, compiling and organizing all relevant medical documentation from multiple sources.
The Importance Of Ongoing Treatment To A Claim
Maintaining consistent, ongoing medical treatment is crucial for demonstrating the severity and longevity of your disabling condition. Gaps or non-compliance in treatment can potentially undermine your case, which is why I emphasize the importance of following prescribed care plans.

With my firm’s resources and experience, I have the capability to obtain such professional opinions when needed to strengthen your claim further.
