What is FIT?

The Findings Integrated Templates (FIT) is a Commissioner initiative designed to improve the quality and consistency of Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) decisions. The FIT approach integrates the findings of fact into the body of the decision. This website makes FIT available to representatives.

In conjunction with the new electronic disability process, representatives now have access to FIT and may take advantage of this new and innovative tool in order to better serve their clients. Representatives wishing to submit proposed decisions for consideration should do so using the FIT format.
