When you file for Social Security Disability they will send you forms in the mail with lots of questions about your past work and daily activities.
Do not ignore these forms.
If you fail to answer the questions, then Social Security will deny your claim.
Social Security reviews the answers to decide whether you can work and what type of jobs you can perform.
This is why it is important to answer the questions correctly.
You should fax the forms back to Social Security.
This will insure that the forms are not lost and that they get to them quickly.
You want to make sure that your daily activities reflect your limitations and problems. Often people are able to do some chores around the house, but need to take frequent breaks or ask for help from friends or relatives. This must be explained to Social Security.
Past work is important because if Social Security believes it can be performed, then you are not disabled according to its rules.
You will need expert guidance to get through the questions properly and understand why they are being asked.
Make sure that you get an experienced Social Security Lawyer to help you. It does not cost you anything unless you win and receive back benefits. Of course receiving lifetime benefits are worth the assistance of an expert attorney to help you win.
