see if you can get a medical source statement from his doctor. If his doctor is willing to grade his limitations it would really help his claim. Like everyone else said consult an attorney but please do not go with an internet attorney or a 1-800 attorney. Stay local, someone who knows the ALJ's in your area in the event you have to request a hearing. If you're having trouble finding an Attorney in your area contact NOSSCR (National Organization of Social Security Claim Representatives) they have a referral list. You can also contact your county BAR Assoc. they also have a referral list.
