If you regularly use alcohol or drugs, or if you`ve had a substance abuse problem, it`s important to be honest with your lawyer. Alcohol and drug use can influence decisions about disability. If there is evidence of drug or alcohol abuse in your medical records, Social Security will need to determine whether it affects your disability or is “essential” to your functioning. In other words, if Social Security determines that your condition would go away if you stopped using drugs or alcohol, they will deny your application. One of the benefits of having a lawyer is that we can advise you on how to deal with the problem and the issues, especially if you are undergoing an advisory review or having a hearing before an administrative judge. Credibility and preparedness are extremely important in all disability cases, especially when it comes to drugs and alcohol. When a lawyer or member of McDonald`s law firm calls you, there`s an important reason to do so.

It is extremely important that you follow the treatment prescribed by your doctor. If you don`t, Social Security may deny your request for “treatment non-compliance.” That is, Social Security could conclude that you would be able to work if you took your medication, underwent surgery, or followed your doctor`s recommendations. If you have good reason not to follow your doctor`s instructions, Social Security can`t blame you. Common justifications could be that you can`t afford your medication or suffer from unbearable side effects. Whatever the problem, it`s important to talk to your doctor about the obstacles you`re facing so they can be documented in your medical records. We know that it is not always easy to follow treatment regiments when you have little income and few resources, but it is in your best interest to try to do what the doctor tells you to do. Unfortunately, many of our clients cannot afford to go to the doctor or pay for medical treatment.

Unfortunately, this can hurt your case. Social Security wants to see medical records, and if you don`t have any, your disability claim could be in trouble. If possible, find a way to be seen by a doctor or nurse so that we have the necessary documentation to secure your disability claim. Many cities have free or low-cost medical clinics. University hospitals and community health centres often care for the country`s uninsured. Churches and nonprofits are another good resource. Documentation is essential.
