Ten original guides written for SE Hogg Disability Guide.

SSDI & SSI

The programs have different financial and work-history rules even though both can involve disability evidence.

Applications

Identity records, work history, treatment information, provider contacts, and medication lists are common starting materials.

Appeals

Missing evidence, incomplete forms, work-history questions, and insufficient functional detail can create problems.

Evidence & Hearings

Treatment history, testing, specialist notes, medications, restrictions, and functional observations can all matter.

Appeals

Keep denial notices, deadlines, updated medical records, and a list of changes since the original application.

Applications

Job duties, physical demands, schedules, skills, and dates should be described accurately and consistently.

Evidence & Hearings

Review the file, recent treatment, daily-function questions, work history, and the issues identified in prior decisions.

SSDI & SSI

Keep current treatment information and respond carefully to requests for updated medical and functional details.

Evidence & Hearings

Specific examples about sitting, standing, concentration, lifting, attendance, or pace are more useful than vague descriptions.

Appeals

Ask about fees, communication, file review, hearing preparation, staffing, and who will handle the claim day to day.
