It’s also one of the most frequently denied. The challenge isn’t the severity of the pain\u2014it’s proving the limitations that meet Social Security’s requirements.

It’s whether that pain prevents you from working.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”What Medical Evidence Do You Need?<\/p>\n

You need objective medical evidence that demonstrates specific functional limitations.<\/p>\n

Most commonly, cases are won with thorough medical records showing consistent treatment, imaging results, treatment notes, and physician opinions about what you can and cannot do. Physical therapy records, pain management documentation, and surgical history all strengthen your case. Consistency is key.
