HOW TO COMPLETE A FUNCTION REPORT
Completing a function report for Social Security can be an important step in the disability application process. The purpose of the report is to provide additional information about your daily activities, limitations, and ability to function. Here are some tips to keep in mind when completing the form:
Be thorough: Take your time when completing the function report and provide as much detail as possible. The more information you provide, the better the chances are that Social Security will understand the full extent of your limitations.
Be honest: Be honest and truthful when answering questions on the form. Don't exaggerate your symptoms, but also don't downplay them. Social Security will compare your answers to your medical records, so it's important to be accurate.
Use examples: Use examples to illustrate how your condition affects your daily activities. For example, if you have difficulty walking, describe how far you can walk before needing to rest.
Describe your symptoms: Describe your symptoms in detail, including their frequency and severity. For example, if you have chronic pain, describe how often you experience it and how severe it is.
Focus on your limitations: The function report is primarily about your limitations, not your abilities. Be sure to focus on how your condition limits your ability to work, take care of yourself, and perform daily activities.
Get help if you need it: If you have difficulty completing the form, don't be afraid to ask for help from a family member, friend, or medical professional.
Remember, the function report is an important part of the disability application process. Taking the time to complete it thoroughly and accurately can help ensure that Social Security has a complete understanding of your limitations and can make an informed decision about your disability claim.
