What does the SSA require to find me disabled?

They must find that you have a severe impairment that is documented in your medical records that prevent you from doing the types of jobs you have done over the last 15 years and any other type of work.

As you can see, it doesn’t matter if you can’t do the last job you worked. You have to prove that you can’t do any job, and it doesn’t even have to be a job in your local area. There are SSA rules that may make it easier for persons 50 years of age and older to be found disabled, but there is no guarantee you will win just because you are older. Whether you are young or older, I help sick and injured persons every day who cannot work and I am ready to go to work to help you in your claim for disability benefits.
