Medical Evidence

Ohio Disability Claims Attorney

Using Medical Records to Build Your Case

You could be completely paralyzed from head to toe. But if you don't have the medical records to prove it, your disability claim will be rejected. We can help you gather the medical evidence you'll need to prove your claim and get benefits.

You don't pay unless you win. Call 877-230-5500 or click here for a free consultation.

Houses are built with wood, brick and mortar. Likewise, your disability claim is built using medical records. Unfortunately in Ohio, you have to pay a fee to get a copy of your medical records. If you can't afford the fee, we will front the cost.

At Shifrin Newman Smith Inc., our attorneys are passionate about helping our clients. And we have represented thousands. We will work with your doctor to prove that you are disabled.

Why ongoing medical treatment is essential to your claim

When you send in an application requesting benefits, you need to attach proof that your really are disabled. Otherwise, they may think you are trying to cheat the system.

You should also see a doctor regularly. Why? If the Social Security Administration (SSA) suspects that your disability could be "cured," they may just tell you to go get treatment. They can only know that your disability is real if you already receive medical care.

See a specialist instead of a general practitioner

You may need to see a specialist instead of a "family doctor" or general practitioner. If you have back problems, see an orthopedist. If you have nerve problems, see a neurologist. And if you have a psychological condition, you should see a psychiatrist.

In every case, you should follow your doctor's instructions to a T. Not only will it be better for your health, but it will also show the Social Security Administration that you are doing everything you can.

But I can't afford a doctor!

Don't worry. You may be covered under a spouse or other family member's insurance plan. Otherwise, you can get a Medicaid card through the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. We can also refer you to a free clinic that will give you the testing and treatment you need.
