A decade of working as a psychologist/medical consultant for Social Security Disability Determinations gave me unique insight into the system and how it works. I've taken this knowledge and put it into a book for claimants and professionals to use as a tool to understand and work within the system for psychological Disability claims.
"A Social Security Disability Psychological Claims Handbook (2013)" gives you information you may not have had access to before, acquaints you with what types of reports you should obtain and which will receive the most weight in a decision. I've also provided guidance on the essential elements of a powerful report, the need for adequate level of functioning reports and answered some of the most pressing question.
If you are denied, I've also provided details regarding to whom you can appeal, how to insure your claim is reviewed in a timely fashion, a glossary of terms, contact information on Disability Regional Offices as well as Congressional legislators. The legislators have been included because they can be a great source of assistance in moving a claim through the maze of Disability.
It is, in effect, what it says; a guidebook. As my others books are, this, too, is meant to help you help yourself or to help mental health professional help you. This book continues my tradition of providing useful information in the area of mental health.
NOTE: Kindle format e-book. A secure PDF file with a JPG of the book's cover will be submitted to anyone who wishes to review the book for media use.
