The
process of applying for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits is
often tedious. When you underwent a serious ordeal that sapped you of
certain physical functions, it will be necessary to prove to the
Social Security Administration that you’re not as healthy as you
used to be. That said, compensation may not be far behind as long as
you clear certain hurdles.
Disability
applicants are required to prove that their condition prevented them
from engaging in Substantial Gainful Activity– specifically, jobs
that pay no more than $1,070 a month. Disabled applicants who work a
part-time job can be considered as long as the monthly earnings are
not as much as the above limit. A check of the updated medical
records also suffices; disability experts claim that the injuries you
sustained hindered your body functions important for a certain line
of work.
SSD
evaluators will also conduct residual functional capacity (RFC)
assessments to further flesh out the applicant’s disability
situation, based on what the records state so far. The testing can be
based on factors such as psychological and physical impairments. The
latter will require cross-checking with a list of approved medical
conditions. A final hurdle to surpass is when Social
Security analyzes the accumulated data to determine if there are
jobs where the applicant can still be useful.
Disability
is a tough time for you and your loved ones. Fortunately, adequate
proof of your woes can help turn things around.
