What will Social Security consider in my case?

December 7, 2019 by Jacob Leave a Comment

The Social Security Administration uses several factors to evaluate whether someone is disabled (i.e. unable to engage is substantial gainful activity for at least 12 consecutive months).  Social Security will consider the following factors:

(1) Are you currently working?
(2) If you stopped working, when were you last employed?
(3) Your age;
(4) The severity of your medical conditions;
(5) The medical records from doctors and hospitals that support your case; and
(6) Reports from Independent Medical Evaluations (IMEs) ordered by Social Security. 

Remember, the majority of disability cases are denied.  The next step after a denial is to file an appeal, which must be filed within 65 days from the date of the written denial. 

For additional information on how these factors affect your case, give us a call for a free consultation.
