The Morris Law Firm - Social Security Disability Medical Records

The number one most important reason why people win or lose their social security disability claim is their medical records. People who can’t work because of a physical or mental condition are supposed to qualify for disability benefits. If your medical records don’t make it to the social security administration before a decision is issued, then there won’t be any evidence to prove your disability.

The Social Security Administration is supposed to gather up all of your medical records from your doctors, but they don’t always get that done. It’s pretty common for something to be missing. So, it’s pretty important for you to keep a good list of all of the doctors that you have seen, get the medical records yourself, and take a copy to the Social Security Administration office.


Social Security laws require your doctor to give you the first copy of your records for free if you are filing a disability claim. You don’t have to worry about being able to afford them.

Your medical records will be the most important evidence in your case. So, make it easy for the SSA to rule in your favor by giving them all of your records. We do this for our clients. We’ve seen too many cases where the SSA has failed to get everything and it really hurts the case. This is one of the most important things we do for our clients because it gives them the best chance to win.
