What To Do If You Are Applying for Social Security Disability But Can’t Afford Treatment

July 23, 2014 | By Natalie | Social Security Disability

One of the requirements of obtaining Social Security disability benefits is following medical treatments recommended by your doctors. If the SSA sees evidence that you’ve refused or not followed prescribed treatments, then your claim can be denied.

However, if you’re disabled and unable to work, the odds are good that you are already strapped financially, and paying for medical treatment may be out of reach.

So, what do you do?

Document Your Case

Applying for Social Security Disability But Can't Afford TreatmentA common argument to fight a denial based on refusing treatment is that the claimant can’t afford it, but just saying you can’t afford it will not be enough to reverse a denial.

If you’re applying for Social Security disability but can’t afford treatment, documentation is everything in SSDI applications and appeals. Keep detailed records of your finances, including your regular daily living expenses and ALL medical treatment expenses.

It’s also vital to your case that you show every effort has been made to find subsidized and/or free treatment options through resources that may be available to you through local and state programs, charitable groups, and any others you can find. Document every lead you explore, noting the days and times, as well as the names and contact information of anyone you spoke with.

"I would highly recommend this firm to everyone, Wonderful firm, they took my case , when I was told by a few firms in Ohio that I did not have a case, Marc Whitehead and Associates settled the case in a timely fashion"  Delecia via
"I want to thank the office of Marc Whitehead and especially Jaime Almaguer who was my caseworker. I had begun the disability process myself until I heard about this lawyers' office in Texas. Seemed strange working with folks across the country that I would never meet. Nevertheless, they were able to get my disability first time around. I felt comfortable discussing my issues privately with them and being able to let Jaime do the work. He was responsive, caring and very professional. Thank you all so much, this has changed my life."  Lynne via
