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
