Keep your disability evidence together, one day at a time. Evidence preparation for UK PIP and US adult SSDI/SSI claims. Documented helps you record how your conditions affect daily activities and sustained tasks. Prepare for an adult SSDI or SSI disability claim with dated examples you can review and export. CAPTURE YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE โ€ข Record tasks, help, rest breaks, recovery and variation across days. โ€ข Include what you could do, activities that were difficult, and tasks you did not attempt. โ€ข Use general work and daily-function prompts for any condition. โ€ข Keep photos, medication notes, claim milestones and supporting-document references together. Original supporting documents stay where you keep them. PREPARE WITH DOCUMENTED+ โ€ข Save editable notes across nine broad SSA Adult Function Report topics and four Work History topics. โ€ข Choose dated journal extracts and insert them only when you want. โ€ข Identify each past job and describe duties, demands, help and changes in your own words. โ€ข Review or export preparation notes as readable text. These topics do not cover every question or complete or submit an official form. โ€ข Create a Claim Evidence Report with dated evidence, variability and optional report contents. โ€ข Use focused SSA listing summaries and general function prompts. This is not the complete Blue Book. CHOOSE THE RIGHT PROGRAM Select SSDI, adult SSI, or both in More > Claim > Claim profile > US benefit. US preparation records remain together when you change this selection. The app explains that the programs have different nonmedical eligibility requirements. It does not assess income, resources, insured status or entitlement. Child SSI is not covered. PRIVATE AND UNDER YOUR CONTROL No account, advertising or tracking analytics. Keep your evidence on your device, or choose optional private iCloud sync and backups. Export and share only when you decide. Basic evidence capture, document references, milestones, CSV export and backup controls are free. Documented+ is an optional one-time purchase for answer preparation, formal mapping, report generation and analysis. Previously saved answers remain editable, exportable and deletable without a purchase. No subscription. UK PIP preparation is also available, with a separate PIP evidence framework and assessment and appeal tools. Documented is an independent evidence-organizing tool, not legal or medical advice. It does not determine eligibility, predict an award, file a claim or replace medical evidence. It is not affiliated with SSA, DWP or any government agency. Check your official forms and notices for an active claim.

Record daily abilities, good and bad days, appointments, medications and personal notes. Create a PDF to review with your attorney or representative. Seven daily reference categories organize selected topics from SSA Form SSA-3373: personal care, meals, housework, going out, social, concentration, and stress. They are not a complete copy of the form, and App ratings are not official SSA scores. PRIVATE LOCAL RECORDS - No account, login or automatic record upload. - All daily logs, symptoms, appointments, and medications stored locally on your device using SwiftData. - PDF generation runs on-device with PDFKit. Reports never leave your phone unless you choose to share them. - No developer-operated record server; we do not receive your medical history through the app. WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR FREE - Daily check-in (function level 0-10 + day type + general notes) for up to 30 saved entries. - Home 7-day function trend and Insights 30-day ratio. - Up to 3 medical appointments and 3 medications. - Color-coded Good Day / Bad Day calendar. - Free PDF and Markdown summaries of all saved logs for the active claim. - Home screen widget, Face ID / Touch ID app lock, daily check-in reminder. - Read-only SSA-3373 category reference guide. UPGRADE TO PRO TO UNLOCK - Unlimited daily logs - no 30-entry cap. - All seven daily reference categories. - Longer-window Good Day vs Bad Day analysis. - Attorney or ALJ-ready evidence PDF, generated on-device. - Unlimited medical appointments and medications, including SSA Consultative Exams, with side effects. - Daily symptom sliders: pain, fatigue, cognitive, mobility, mood. - Activity attempted and activity avoided fields. - Sleep hours, quality, and daytime nap tracking. - Function and symptom trend charts. - Full structured CSV export of all log entries. WHO THIS IS FOR - First-time SSDI or SSI applicants told by their attorney to keep a daily diary. - Applicants denied at initial review who need stronger evidence for reconsideration or an ALJ hearing. - Long-Term Disability claimants whose insurance company is challenging the claim. - VA disability claimants filing or appealing a rating decision. - Continuing Disability Review (CDR) preparation. - Long COVID, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, mental health, and other chronic-condition applicants. WHO THIS IS NOT FOR - People wanting an eligibility checker that says whether they qualify. - People wanting AI to write their function report. - People wanting their data synced to an SSA account or law firm portal. DisabilityLog is a personal documentation tool. It does not provide legal or medical advice, determine disability eligibility, communicate with SSA or any insurance carrier, or auto-fill any government form. The app does not file forms on your behalf. Ratings are personal assessments; saved categories may include unedited defaults. PRO OPTIONS - Annual subscription, with an introductory trial only when Apple confirms eligibility and an applicable offer. - Lifetime: one-time purchase, when available from Apple. Existing monthly purchases remain supported. Current localized prices and offers appear in the app. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled. Renewals occur within 24 hours before the period ends unless canceled at least 24 hours prior. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Apple handles refund requests under its policies and applicable law.
