The FAST MSR (Functional Assessment Statement — Medical Summary Report) is a crucial document in the disability application process. It bridges the gap between a client’s medical diagnoses and the functional evidence the Social Security Administration needs to make a disability determination.
Links Illness to Action
Connects an applicant’s medical conditions directly to their functional limitations — translating diagnosis into evidence of disability.
Acts as Medical Evidence
Serves as official medical evidence once co-signed by an Acceptable Medical Source, giving it the same weight as clinical records.
Streamlines the Process
Replaces the standard SSA-3373 Function Report in many states, reducing redundancy and improving the quality of functional evidence submitted.
Answers the Ultimate Question
Sent straight to the DDS examiner to prove whether the individual is capable of working at a Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) level — the core determination in every disability case.
