The following documentation requirements are provided to assure that documentation demonstrates an impact on a major life activity, is appropriate to verify eligibility and supports the request for accommodations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Documentation must be completed by a licensed treating health care provider.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Documentation must be current and up to date (typically five years old or less, depending on the nature of the nature of the disability).
