Every year many Washington State residents will file a claim for SSI/SSD disability benefits with the Social Security Administration. Unfortunately some people who are disabled will have their claim for benefits denied. One problem many may face is providing a good physician statement to support the diagnosis of disability. Many people filing a SSDI application for benefits do not realize how important the physician statement is to the success of the claim, and often the statement they receive from their doctor and submit with their claim is not enough to get approved for help.

The problem with many physician statements is that they are too short and leave out a lot of detail. Most doctors are very busy and may only have a few minutes to devote to the physician statement. They may leave out crucial details like medical tests, the condition’s disabling factors, and a history of the person’s office visits to treat the condition. If they leave out information that the SSA is looking for, there is a strong chance the claim for SSI/SSD benefits will be denied. This is why many people today work with an experienced disability attorney who can review the physician statement and ensure that it is complete and contains all pertinent information.

Kent, Washington Disability Benefits
The first eastern settlers arrived in the region that is now Kent in the 1860s, and the original name of the town was Titusville. Twenty years later the area would benefit from an insect invasion in Europe and change its name. Aphids were destroying the hops crops in Europe and breweries were paying high prices for the grain. The farmers in the region began to grow and export hops, and were so successful that they renamed the town after Kent County in England. Unfortunately, aphids eventually invaded Kent and ended the hops industry. In the 20th century local farmers turned to dairy and the region was the site of a Carnation Condensed Milk processing plant, which not only bought milk from the farmers but also provided jobs to the people of Kent and nearby communities like Des Moines, Renton, and Auburn. Other farmers grew vegetable crops and Kent became known as the “Lettuce Capital of the World.”

In addition to agriculture other industries were also being established in Kent. Boeing built a plant in the city in 1965 and other aerospace companies followed, providing employment opportunities for scientists, administrators, technicians, and support staff. Today Kent is reportedly the third largest industrial area in the country and many warehouses have been built in the region. It is home to several well-known and successful companies including Oberto Sausage, REI, and the Seattle Bicycle Supply Company.  There are all kinds of jobs in the region for people of all skills and education levels. However, some residents are unable to take any kind of position due to a disability. There are experienced disability lawyers in Kent, Black Diamond, Pacific and other communities who can review your medical history and help you file a successful SSDI application for SSI/SSD benefits.
