Denial

The lowest level of work, according to Social Security, is sedentary work.

This means that if you can perform a sit down job, then you are not disabled.

This standard, as you can see, is strict.

That is why it is difficult for people under 50 years of age to win their disability case.

The definition for a sit down job is sitting 6 out of 8 hours, standing and walking 2 hours out of 8 hours, and lifting 10 pounds.

Most sedentary work requires frequent use of the hands for handling and reaching.

The medical records will have to address why you are not able to work a minimal job.

You can almost count on being denied if you show up to your Disability hearing without treatment from a medical doctor.

The whole Social Security system revolves around proving your medical condition limits your ability to perform work functions.

It is not good enough to say that you do not have insurance or a medical card.

Look, it is tough in the real world but Social Security does not recognize that people have a terrible time getting health care.

The other important thing to do once you see a doctor is to explain all your problems and limitations.

The Social Security Judges look closely at what the doctors put in their records.

This can make the difference between winning and losing your disability case.
