In turn, you must validate this disability by submitting medical evidence to the SSA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SSA has created a reference guide that lists impairments as well as the medical criteria that are needed to prove a disability before it grants SSDI approval.

Here, a disability refers to an injury or illness that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/retirement\/social-security\/questions-answers\/blue-book.html#:~:text=The%20Blue%20Book%2C%20formally%20titled,person%20can%20receive%20disability%20benefits.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blocks your ability to perform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the necessary actions for maintaining gainful employment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a disability listed in the Blue Book does not immediately approve you for SSDI benefits.

The more concrete evidence to support your claim, the better your chances of securing disability benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you finally go to file your claim, be prepared to fill out different forms during different phases of your SSDI application. Moreover, you should let your doctor know you will likely need medical records to back up many parts of your social security claim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples of medical evidence needed for SSDI claims include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Medical Release Form\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/disability\/professionals\/ssa827_informationpage.htm#:~:text=SSA%20and%20its%20affiliated%20State,not%20a%20claimant%20is%20disabled.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form SSA-827<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a medical release form that lets the SSA directly contact your physician to discuss your condition and all related medical documents.
