Welcome to Season 1, Episode 25 of Winning Isn't Easy: Navigating Your Social Security Disability Claim. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Residual Functional Capacity and RFC Forms."
If you think a simple note from your doctor saying you're "disabled" is enough to win your Social Security claim, think again. In this episode of Winning Isn’t Easy, host Nancy L. Cavey pulls back the curtain on one of the most powerful tools in your disability case: the Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) form. Often overlooked, these forms can be the difference between a denial and an approval - if they’re done right. Nancy explains why vague statements don’t move the needle with the Social Security Administration, and how a detailed, condition-specific RFC form can provide the concrete evidence judges need to understand your true limitations. You’ll get practical tips on how to approach your doctor about completing an RFC form, what kinds of details make the biggest impact, and how a skilled disability attorney can help frame your medical story in a way that aligns with the SSA’s expectations. This isn’t just paperwork - it’s your opportunity to be heard clearly and credibly. Whether you're applying for the first time or appealing a denial, this episode is your guide to turning medical facts into persuasive legal evidence. Let’s get started.
In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:
1 - Why Getting a Letter From Your Doctor That Says You Are Disabled or Meet a Social Security Listing Is a Waste of Time and Money
2 - Should My Social Security Disability Attorney Use a Residual Functional Capacity Form in My Case?
3 - Nine Tips for Getting Winning Social Security Disability Residual Functional Capacity Forms
Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.
