Applicants can help
speed up claims
By PETER CURTICE
SocM Security Mw—m
Disability claims usually take
longer to process than other So
da! Security claims. But people
who are applying for Social Secu
rity and Supplemental Security
Income (SSQ disability benefits
can help speed up the process.
We urge applicants to bring
In any medical reports they may
already have in their possession.
Normally, a considerable
amount of information concern
ing a person’s medical condi
tion Is needed in order for a
proper Social Security decision
to be made.
Quite often, a lot of time Is
spent contacting physicians,
hospitals, clinics, and other
treating sources for this docu
mentation.
Valuable time can be saved
If the applicant Is able to bring
in any medical reports he or
she already has. It can really
make a difference in how soon
a decision is made.
And more importantly, it
can make a difference in how
quickly Social Security benefits
will start if the person’s claim is
approved.
In addition to actual medi
cal records, school records are
very helpful in making deci
sions for children applying for
SSI. Any correspondence that
parent has received from the
school which indicates the
child’s level of performance or
behavioral problems is ex
tremely helpful.
Such records can be report
cards; individual education
Elans; and progress notes or
:tter from teachers, guidance
counselors, and school psychol
ogists.
Recent statistics show that,
in numerous cases, the medical
records that were presented at
the time of application were the
only ones needed to make the
proper disability decision.
In these Instances, not only
did the claimant receive notice
of the decision much quicker,
but taxpayer money was saved
Correction

fied as Macey Mallory In a pho
tograph of band fruit sales
award winners in the Feb. 18
edition of The Perquimans
Weekly due to misinformation
provided to the newspaper.
Manley was one of three high
school band students recog
nized for top sales. The newspa
per regrets the error.

since there was no need to pay
for radical reports that the ap
plicant already had.
Processing times on claims
are short when people bring In
supporting records. But, we want
to caution people not to delay fil
ing if they do not have the re
cords. Social Security will still
obtain evidence needed to docu
ment a person’s disability' claim.
