Each Person Experiences Pain Differently

Your pain is something that only you can feel. How do you make SSA or an administrative law judge understand what you are experiencing?

At Chihak & Gustad, we use a variety of techniques to build strong and persuasive cases for our clients. We begin by obtaining key information and opinions from a claimant's own treating sources. In addition, our firm has a network of doctors and medical specialists who can diagnose your condition and provide comprehensive opinions regarding a person's inability to work. They will document the disabling symptoms and conditions using SSA's own language, techniques, and forms.

We can also take evidence from family members, friends, co-workers, and others who can attest to the effects your condition has on your life and ability to work. Though they cannot feel what you feel, they can accurately describe their personal observations of your symptoms and limitations in a way that few others can.
