HOW MUCH MEDICAL EVIDENCE DO YOU NEED TO WIN A DISABILITY CASE ?





The simplest answer to this question is this: you need to have as much medical evidence as possible to win a disability case.

The importance of medical evidence cannot be understated when it comes to a social security disability or ssi disability case. And, in fact, the more evidence the better.

How much medical evidence is enough? There are two ways to consider the answer to this question. First, a disability claimant needs to have enough medical evidence made available to a disability examiner or an administrative law judge to substantiate their allegations of disability. And to this end, a claimant's records should, ideally, describe the claimant's specific limitations (i.e. loss of muscle strength, inability to sit, stand, or walk, etc.)

Second, the medical evidence needs to be recent enough to indicate that the claimant is currently disabled. This, of course, places a particular burden on an individual pursuing disability benefits. To prove that that their impairment renders them currently disabled, they must continue to seek medical treatment, which can be a difficult proposition for someone who may no longer have access to medical health insurance.
