Social Security Disability

The Social Security Administration considers a number of factors when assessing your claim. If you are unable to do the work you did in the past, they will evaluate your medical condition, your age, education, past work experience and skills you may have that could be used to do other work. If you cannot do other work, the Social Security Administration will determine that you are disabled. If you can do other work, you will not be found disabled and receive a denial letter. Medical evidence from your doctors and hospitals, clinics or institutions where you have been treating/treated is used in making these determinations. Therefore, it is very important that you continue receiving ongoing medical treatment, as well as making sure that your medical provider is aware of your symptoms and limitations so that this can be documented in your records.
