The Importance of Medical Evidence in SSDI Cases
For Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) cases, medical evidence is the foundation of every determination. Without strong records, even qualified claimants risk denial. At Casa de la Justicia, we specialize in helping Spanish-speaking clients navigate this process—removing barriers and strengthening cases for approval.
SSA requires objective medical evidence from an acceptable medical source to prove a medically determinable impairment exists. Once that’s established, SSA considers additional information—from family, teachers, or employers—about how the impairment impacts daily life and work ability.
Claimants must provide all evidence relating to their disability, including:
The nature and severity of the impairment
How long they’ve had it
Functional limitations, physical or mental
For Spanish-speaking clients, this can be daunting. Casa de la Justicia helps gather and organize records, ensuring nothing critical is overlooked.
When existing records aren’t enough, SSA may order a CE. In this case SSA assigns an independent doctor. A strong CE report should cover history, clinical findings, test results, diagnoses, prognosis, and the claimant’s ability to function in a work setting. Casa de la Justicia guides clients through this process to ensure consistency.
SSA also considers how symptoms—such as pain, fatigue, or shortness of breath—affect daily functioning. Effective reports explain:
Daily activity limitations
Frequency and intensity of symptoms
Medication side effects
Other treatments or coping strategies
We ensure providers capture these details in ways SSA recognizes. Spanish-speaking clients deserve effective, culturally sensitive representation. Many often struggle with:
Language and cultural barriers
Difficulty obtaining complete records
