Do I have a Case for Social Security?

Are you currently working?

Yes
No

Unfortunately, with most cases, in order to quality for disability or supplemental income benefits Social Security requires that you be out of work for at least one year.

Have you been out of work, or are you expected to be out of work for a year or more due to a medical condition that you are currently treating for?

Yes
No

Unfortunately, you would most likely not be awarded benefits based on severity. Social Security considers a medical condition disabling if it prevents you from working for at least one full year. If you have not been consistently treating for your medical condition start NOW. Not only is your hearing going to be based on you stating how your condition affects your daily living it also depends on your treating doctor’s reports and evaluations.

Is your medical condition listed ( Here: https://www.ssa.gov/disability/professionals/bluebook/AdultListings.htm )?

Yes
No

If your medical condition is not listed, Social Security will sometimes look at similar conditions and determine if your condition equals in severity and duration to a listed condition. This is where your medical records come into play, especially any labs or diagnostic testing that your treating physicians may have ordered for you.

Can you perform your previous job duties?

Yes
No

Most likely, Social Security will deny you disability benefits if it deems that your limitations are not severe enough to keep you out of work and you can still perform your previous job duties.

Can you perform any job?

Yes
No

Even though you may not be able to work at your previous occupation. Social Security will look to see if it is feasible for you to enter the work force in a different capacity, based on your prior work history and what you can do on a daily basis with the limitations of your medical conditions.

If Social Security concludes that you cannot adjust to other work, then you will be found disabled. Social Security considers how severe all your limitations are, and whether those limitations stop you from doing other work that might use your skills and education, as well as work that doesn’t require any skill or special training. The types of jobs that Social Security considers changes as you get older (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/404/404-app-p02.htm). It is also best to speak to a Social Security attorney about your chances for approval and the best course of action for your situation.
