One-liner#

FMLA/disability paperwork is easiest when tied to a well-defined diagnosis, functional impairment, and follow-up plan.

Minimum workflow#

• Confirm diagnosis and expected course
• Define functional limitations (physical/cognitive) in concrete terms
• Set a reassessment date and document what would change restrictions

Documentation checklist#

• Diagnosis and treatment plan
• Objective findings when available (tests, specialist notes, observed limitations)
• Requested dates and why that duration is medically appropriate
