The Importance of School Records in Social Security Disability Claims

Especially in cases involving individuals with development disabilities, obtaining copies of school records is vital since this information supports the long standing nature and presence of at least part of the problems that prevent an individual from performing work activity. Most of these records are kept for a long period of time after a child leaves school. Please make sure you notify your attorney if you were in any kind of developmental or special education program while in school so that this information can be obtained.
