Determining the client's disability is the first major step in the process. This process begins with the Counselor's recording of medical history obtained from the consumer during the application process. Information regarding their impairment, and illnesses including dates and types of treatments or services provided should be recorded. The names and addresses of physicians who have treated them, as well as, hospitals and clinics where they may have been a patient are important so that the Counselor may request, if needed, pertinent medical records. As much as possible, the Counselor should try to determine the client's primary care physician for the impairment they are reporting.
