Does stress matter in a claimant’s disability case?

Yes.  With reference to a claimant’s capability to endure stress, stress matters.  In our responding physician’s opinion we ask whether the Claimant is:  Incapable of even "low stress" jobs, Capable of low stress jobs, Capable of jobs involving moderate stress, or Capable of high stress work.  We ask the physician to explain the reasons for these conclusions to further strengthen his/her opinion.
