Many Social Security disability applicants neglect to go into enough detail about their medications, and that’s a mistake. While medications are often very important in helping you manage symptoms, the side effects and long-term undesirable consequences of medications can often contribute to the difficulty of consistently performing workplace tasks.

When you are preparing your application for disability benefits in Sarpy County, you’ll want to ask your physician for key information about the medications you are currently taking. That information should include:

  • Types of medication
  • Reason for prescription
  • Dosages
  • Reported side effects
  • Medically reported long-term consequences

 

You’ll also want evidence demonstrating your compliance with treatment. If you are applying for a physical impairment or for a mental illness, this is usually done with a doctor’s statement.
