I’m thinking of applying for Social Security disability benefits. What types of documents will I need?
Here is a basic list of things that will be helpful to your attorney or representative: • Talk with your doctor about your impairment and SSA. Ask him (or her) to write a letter indicating your disability. • Gather any medical records you may have. • Talk with your family. Ask them to document your condition or activities from their viewpoint. This is especially helpful with mental illnesses and depression.
