Hub You - Winning Your Disability Case in Three Words... Frequency, Severity, and Duration
Really cheap auto insurance can be had as long as you, as an educated consumer, are equipped with the full range of facts and knowledge about how insurance companies come up with quotes for car insurance. Naturally, ones first inclination is to go online, access the sites offering automobile insurance, fill out the necessary form and then wait a moment a two for a quote. This is definitely the way to do but learning a bit about what the variables are that might make a different in price is well worth the time and effort it takes to do so.An Educated Consumer Is A Satisfied ConsumerPrior to buying any product it’s a good idea to educate onesel
Never forget that obtaining a physical and/or psychological diagnosis is the very beginning, and not the end of your disability case.
Thus, the question becomes, “How do I document the frequency, severity and duration of my symptoms and limitations?”
Tip #1: What should I be Documenting?Simply put, whatever it is that prevents you from working. For example, let’s use chronic pain and fatigue. I
Authors know they need publicity. It’s the Holy Grail that every writer, even successful ones, has to constantly quest for. Doesn’t seem fair when you consider that writers tend to be very happy curled up at home with the cat and a keyboard.Promoting a book is hard work, but as you work at it and pick up some publicity here and there, the rewards make it worth it. Attention is better than obscurity, and one of the first steps for emerging from obscurity is to issue a press release.A press release is your announcement to the world that you want attention because you are interesting. Even if your publisher is promoting your book, there is absol
A critical point I make to people who contact me everyday is that their disability case is won or lost based on symptoms/limitations and not on their diagnosis! Clearly, under federal law, a disability claimant has to have a legitimately diagnosed physical and/or psychological disorder to even allege disability, but this is only the beginning of the analysis.
Disability cases are almost always won or lost based on the quality (documentation) of your medical records and the subsequent opinions rendered by your treating physicians regarding your ability to sustain full-time employment. The documentation of symptoms and limitations in your medical records is critical as it provides tremendous credibility to and an understanding as to why your doctors’ have concluded you are unable to work.
Once a diagnosis is established, the disability inquiry immediately shifts to why you are unable to work due to the symptoms and limitations that result from the diagnosis. I tell my clients that of the total time spent in a disability hearing before a federal judge, 5% is spent on the diagnosis and 95% is spent determining the frequency, severity and duration of symptoms and limitations, and whether they prevent all work. Ignoring this fact places the success of your claim in great peril…don’t ever forget this!
A common problem disability claimants frequently make is having “tunnel vision” and focusing solely on their diagnosis, as if the fact they have been diagnosed with a disorder automatically confirms they are disabled and entitled to benefits. This is especially true of people suffering from chronic pain and fatigue disorders such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I believe this is true because these folks have almost universally been sent on an “odyssey” by the medical community, simply to obtain a diagnosis.

The resume writing service serves an important role in the economy. Many qualified candidates have a difficult time marketing themselves to employers and turn to a professional writing service for assistance. A successful resume is more than just a job history. As an experienced resume writer, you can provide the exposure needed for a job seeker to land an interview.Specializing as an executive resume writing service can bring greater income for both you and your clients. One perfect resume is easily worth hundreds of dollars to an executive seeking a five- or six-figure increase of salary. The drawback, of course, is that fewer people are seek

No Credit CheckThere are cash advances advertised as “No Credit Check Required”. This means that they do not ask you for a signed check in advance, to act as collateral for the loan. Those who do, have a way of getting their money back, by cashing your check and leaving you a problem with your bank… Even MoreThere are also no-fax loans, meaning that you don’t have to fax in as much documentation as others: Just the minimum necessary. I would call them “less-fax loans”, but… ahhh, advertising is advertising, eh?Another Advantage The use you will give to the loan doesn’t have to be disclosed. That is w

Tip #1: What should I be Documenting?Simply put, whatever it is that prevents you from working. For example, let’s use chronic pain and fatigue. It is critical you distinguish why the pain and fatigue is different from what an average person may experience. If I say “I am in pain and fatigued,” that does not tell you much. Why? From time to time we all experience some degree of pain and/or fatigue. But if you tell your doctor “I am unable to function as I experience severe daily pain and exhausting fatigue lasting most of the day without relief,” or “I am unable to function 2 days per week due to migraine headaches that last all day even with medication,” now you’ve given the doctor and a judge an idea of why your symptoms are so debilitating.
Tip #2: Obtain a Copy of your Medical Records from your Treating Physicians
After you have followed Tip #1, the next question becomes, “Did the doctor write down what I just told him/her?”
I am often surprised at how many people applying for disability benefits have never seen their medical records. Obtaining a copy of your current treating physician’s records is important because it will give you an idea of whether your symptoms and limitations are being recorded. You may be surprised to find that your complaints do not appear in the records or if they do, the doctor’s notes are totally illegible! Illegible handwriting is a real problem, because judges who decide your claim are just like you and I, they don’t (and generally won’t) try too hard to decipher what the notes say.
If you are not satisfied with the documentation, address the issue tactfully with your doctor and explain the importance of documentation to your disability case. If they are receptive, I suggest you give them a copy of this article for reference.
Tip #3: Keep A Short Diary of Your Symptoms and Limitations before your next Visit to the Doctor
Whether you know it or not, your daily lives tell a compelling story about your inability to work. But how do you remember the frequency, severity and duration of your symptoms especially if you can’t spell y
