Conditions that are subjective or difficult to prove with objective medical tests, such as chronic pain syndromes or certain mental health disorders, can sometimes be more challenging to establish. Detailed medical records and testimony about the functional limitations are crucial. We assist in gathering and organizing this essential evidence.
