FAQ In Person Appointments

  • What should I bring to the appointment?

    Please bring the following items, if available:

    A list of current medications

    Any recent and relevant medical information

    Recent evaluations or reports relevant to the disability claim (e.g., psychological, developmental, or medical reports)

    Yes. Diagnostic impressions are provided when applicable and supported by evaluation results. Our reports include descriptive language that is easy to understand and helpful for the disability determination process.

  • How long does the appointment take?

    Evaluations typically take 30–60 minutes. You will receive more specific timing information when your appointment is scheduled.
