Find out about veterans disability lawyer
Recent medical information is perhaps the most important thing for a social security lawyer, particularly if your case is in the hearing phase. After a claim has been through the reconsideration phase, updated medical records will not be requested by Social Security. That means that your medical records can be years old by the time your case is heard before an administrative judge. To be considered for continuing disability benefits, a case undergoing a hearing will need to have the most recent medical data and your attorney will make sure that happens. Less than 60 days old is what most attorneys advise regarding your medical records.
