The Commissioner of the Social Security Administration reserves the right to determine disability. Quite simply, that means that although a medical condition with limitations is important to the determination of disability, the judge makes the decision, not the doctor. As would be expected, objective medical findings based on x-rays, MRIs, EKGs, and other diagnostic tests are important to proving disability. Subjective claims of pain and discomfort are not as persuasive as an objective finding verified by a physician.
Social Security has a schedule that begins at age 44. It becomes easier to satisfy the requirements of disability at ages 50, 55, and 60. Social Security will compare your “functional capacity” to work that a person did over the past 15 years. If a person is a younger individual, the court looks at all work they could do in the regional or national economy. If a person is closely approaching advanced age or 55 or older, the court looks at the work they actually did in the past.
