Here is my letter drafted t HR

Mr. Richard Ortiz Program Administrator (Payroll/Personnel) Department of Social Services * E. Post Road White Plains, NY * Dear Mr. Ortiz, I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated [Date], regarding the request for updated medical documentation for my patient, Javier Vincens. I appreciate your diligence in addressing this matter, and I am committed to providing the necessary information in accordance with HR's requirements under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). In response to your outlined criteria: *. **Nature and Duration of Impairment:** Mr. Vincens has been under treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) for six years. Although SAD can persist, there has been notable improvement, especially since he transitioned to remote work. I anticipate continued progress over the next one to two years with minimal disruptions to his existing routine. *. **Activities Limited by the Impairment:** SAD significantly impacts Mr. Vincens' ability to adapt to unfamiliar surroundings, routines, and engage in social interactions in group settings. Specifically, he faces challenges with unexpected changes or challenges, making it difficult to focus and concentrate, particularly in close quarters with others performing similar duties. *. **Extent of Impairment on Job Activities:** Allowing Mr. Vincens to work remotely and limiting in-office interactions to what is strictly necessary provides a controlled and comfortable environment. This mitigates triggers for SAD, enabling him to maintain high functionality and productivity, as evidenced by his successful workload management while working alone. *. **Substantiation of Requested Accommodation:** The request for remote work as a reasonable accommodation is substantiated by the necessity to sustain Mr. Vincens' well-being and high level of functionality. It ensures an environment that minimizes triggers for his impairment, promoting a conducive work atmosphere. I understand the urgency of this matter, and I will ensure that the comprehensive documentation meeting the specified criteria is submitted to the Office of Human Resources by Tuesday, November *. Please let me know if you require any additional information or if there are further steps needed to facilitate this process. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely,
