Hello, I've gone through WCA assessment and was deemed 'don't have limited capability for work and maybe able to do some work' (whatever that means, since it's 'maybe').
I have requested medical report and asked for mandatory reconsideration. The medical report is full of incorrect, misrepresented information and some information is omitted although was provided during assessment.
I am looking through description of functional ability and 'typical day' (which is something that was concocted by assessor) and pretty much everything is 'she is able...', for e.g. she is able to lift shampoo or shower gel bottle. This is neither significant in my life nor shows my ability considering lifting these items takes approx 6 sec of my daily life. I didn't reported anything like that to begin with on the UC50 form, but was asked during assessment which I thought was strange. Things like difficulty using shower head which I explained in great detail was downplayed.
Do these descriptors of functional ability meant to be only about ability? Cause I'm really confused. UC50 asks about difficulties, but then assessor writes bunch of insignificant 'abilities', which looks like as though I can do everything.
Also I never provided 'typical day' description myself, thinking my explanations under questions on UC50 form would be enough and then during assessment I will be able to add more. However as I said, I was not asked of what my typical day looks like, just single questions. I'm in process of writing my 'typical day' in mandatory reconsideration, as the one assessor wrote is factually incorrect, but would this matter?
Does medical evidence - letters where my daily struggles reported matter or do they look for findings, as in medical reasons for these difficulties? I'm diagnosed with osteoarthritis, have pain in multiple joints, but xrays show damage only in some. So, for e.g. I have a lot of pain and numbness in my hands, but xrays didn't show joint damage yet. Would difficulties I face because of my hand symptoms be disregarding, as thera isn't proof of damage?
Lastly, when writing mandatory reconsideration, should I point to every single point I disagree with, cause it's nearly every sentence? And some questions have 'none of the above' on medical form, even though I provided information on my UC50, but for some reason was not asked about. Should I point to that and write explanations of difficulties again? Or just say this was not discussed during assessment?
Sorry for the long post and thank you for your help.
