Disability attorney A review of the facts
A disability examiner or judge may view your refusal to take medication as evidence that you do not need the medication because your condition does not hamper your ability to function or work. It is also almost impossible for a judge or disability examiner to understand the complete picture of your case and how your injury impacts your daily activity, if you are not taking your prescribed medication. To assure that a sound decision can be reached regarding your case, make sure you take all preions and adhere to regiments recommended by your physician. Q: When should you apply for social security disability? A: A decision may be rendered on some disability cases after only a couple months, while other may take years. Because of the length of time it can take to process a claim, you should apply the day you know you are eligible.
