What will Social Security consider in determining my case?

Social Security has several factors they consider in any given case. However, some information is relevant in every case. Social security will consider:

(1) Are you currently working?
(2) If you are not working, when did you last work?
(3) Your age;
(4) The severity of the medical conditions that you suffer from;
(5) The evidence and medical records that you have to support your case; and
(6) Supporting reports from independent medical evaluations ordered by Social Security.

Every case is different and each will be evaluated independently. There are only a select few circumstances where a given case will have a fixed outcome.

***Remember, the majority of disability cases are denied. The next step after a denial is to file an appeal, which must be filed within 60 days.
