Objective medical evidence of degenerative disc disease, diabetes, COPD, depression and other mental health issues, back problems, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease, Hep-C, fibromyalgia, learning disabilities, chronic pain, PTSD, peripheral artery disease, can all lead to the inability to work. These conditions can cause a wide range of limitations. The judges who decide the cases frequently must decide how much of the applicants testimony to believe. Credibility becomes exceedingly important in the evaluation. Keeping a log of daily symptoms helps build that credibility. The log need not be elaborate or eloquent. It only needs to provide you a method to explain your symptoms over many months.
These logs will help win your appeal of the denied reconsideration.
