SSDI Function Report (SSA-3373): Answers by Condition

Filling out the SSA-3373 Function Report is stressful, and most people are not sure what to write. This printable bundle explains what each part of the form is really asking and shows honest, fictional example answers for 20 common conditions, so you can describe your own real situation clearly.

What you get (6 PDFs):

- A question-by-question guide to the SSA-3373, with common mistakes, weak vs. clear answers, and a final checklist

- 4 example books covering 20 conditions: back pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, depression, anxiety and panic, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, COPD, heart failure, diabetes with neuropathy, kidney disease, migraine, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, long COVID, Crohn's disease, and Parkinson's

- A 3-day function diary and a printable checklist to use before you submit

How it works: keep the diary for three ordinary days, read the guide for each part of the form, and use the example for your condition as a model of style and level of detail. The examples use fictional people and are not scripts to copy. Every answer you give must be true and in your own words.

Who it is for: people applying for SSDI who were sent the Function Report, family members helping them, and anyone who wants to understand the form before starting.
