The checker reads your verdict. The Kit gets you through the exam: documentation packets for your condition, the two 45-day form clocks run as a calendar, the official medication form packet, waiting-period calendars, failure recovery, and the examiner phone script.

Advisory criteria: certification is not recommended for schizophrenia or for active psychotic disorders. The published reasoning is the unpredictability of relapse and the incapacitation risk it carries.
The published answer is no, printed plainly. A long-documented stability history reviewed by psychiatry is the only material that could change an individual evaluation, and expectations should be set accordingly.
If a treating psychiatrist documents a revised diagnosis (an episode reclassified, for example), that corrected record is the document an examiner would need. Absent that, plan around the published answer.
This question is decided by the federal text together with its published advisory criteria — clocks, thresholds, and specialist files. The verdict above follows the cited criteria; your documentation is what proves you meet them.
Only a certified medical examiner on the National Registry can certify you. FreightVerdict reads the published federal standards — it does not certify, diagnose, or treat, and nothing here is medical advice.
