What kind of evidence does Social Security consider?
The most important evidence is medical. Social Security will review medical records and consider your statements to determine if you are disabled. But the law states:
"Your statements alone are not enough to establish that there is a physical or mental impairment."
Once your medical records show medical conditions which affect your ability to perform basic work activity, Social Security will consider your statements. You can also provide statements from your employer, family members, etc.
