Here are 5 things that will be considered in every Social Security disability claim:
1. Age
2. Education
3. Past Relevant Work
4. Transferability of Skills
5. Residual Functional Capacity
One or more of these factors may become critical in a particular case. However, Social Security law requires that all 5 be considered.
I won't belabor this post by explaining what each of these things means.
A claimant can take a long time researching and trying to figure out how these factors affect his/her claim.
An easier way would be to call a disability attorney/advocate and ask for a free evaluation. Professionals are trained to consider how each of the 5 things (above) will help you or hurt you in a disability claim.
For heaven's sake, don't go into your hearing without knowing how to define and defend these 5 important things, upon which the judge will render a decision.
