Personal Information

Details About Your Disability
Next, describe your medical condition in as much detail as you can. Make sure that you list any symptoms that are part of the condition and exactly how your condition makes it impossible for you to work. Include the date of your diagnosis and any other details that you know.
Current Status
In this section fill in what your current disability status is. That just means whether or not you have already applied for disability benefits in Oklahoma. If you have already applied and you were denied, include that information. This will make it easier to find exactly the right Oklahoma disability attorney to help you with your case.
