TX HHS Form H1837. Physician's Statement of Permanent Disability
The Physician’s Statement of Permanent Disability (Form H1837) is a document used by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to verify whether an applicant for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) meets the state’s definition of a permanent disability. Although the form itself appears brief, its implications are significant: a physician’s confirmation of disability can directly impact a household’s eligibility and documentation requirements for SNAP benefits.
