Home :: FAQ :: Basic Questions Social Security Disability

Do I need medical evidence to win my SSDI or SSI case?

Yes. It is established law that the lack of medical treatment is a strong factor against finding disability. Moreover SSR 02-1p restricts the award of benefits to those claimants who do not refuse to follow prescribed treatment. The rule is that you must treat medically and follow what your doctor prescribes or you may expect no help from the SSA. There can be extenuating circumstances though which will be covered further in this tome.
