Real outcome
"Approved on the first submission — saved me three trips back to my doctor."
THE PROBLEM
"Get a letter from your
doctor" — but no one tells
you what it should say.
Many AISH applicants are sent back two or three times because the doctor's letter is missing key details. Each return trip means more appointments, more waiting, and more stress, often when finances are already tight.
Letter v1 · Returned

Approved ✓
Specific diagnosis with onset date, current severity rating, daily functional limitations across mobility, cognition, and self-care, and long-term prognosis — clearly stated and dated.

Your family doctor, specialist, psychiatrist, or another qualified medical professional involved in your care.
What if my letter is already written?
We can review it before submission and let you know if anything important is missing — often saving a return trip to your doctor.
