Abstract:
In cases where a claimant is requesting a hearing after denial of his or her claim for Social Security benefits, SSA uses Form HA-4632 to request information from the claimant regarding the medications they are using. This information helps the Administrative Law Judge hearing the case to inquire fully into the medical treatment the claimant is receiving and the effect of medications on the claimant's medical impairments and functional capacity. Respondents are applicants for Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance benefits and/or Supplemental Security Income payments.
