Your doctor knows your health. Social Security knows the rules 📋

One of the most common misconceptions about SSDI is that a doctor's statement automatically means a claim will be approved.

In reality, there are many pieces that go into a disability decision - including medical evidence, work history, symptoms, limitations, and how your condition impacts your ability to work.

Understanding what SSA is actually looking for can make all the difference. Contact Parmele Disability Advocates today ☎️ Together, we'll review your situation and determine the best steps for your claim moving forwardn

Did you know a 0% VA disability rating isn't the same as being denied?

A 0% rating means the VA has recognized your condition as service-connected, even though it isn't currently severe enough to qualify for monthly compensation.

If that service-connected condition worsens over time, your rating may be eligible for an increase based on the severity of your symptoms.
