Why Did Social Security Deny You?


When you receive the Social Security Disability denial notice in the mail what does it mean?

Most Social Security Disability denials explain the reasons at the end of the notice.

It will say something like you can return to your old job, or you can still perform light work.

These reasons mean something to the Social Security Administration.

The first test in Social Security Disability is whether you can do your old job. If you can return to your old job, then you are not disabled.

The second test is what jobs are available if you cannot perform your old work.

If you are under 50 years of age and you can do any kind of work on a full time basis, then you are not disabled.

When you are 50 years of age and older the standards become less strict.
