Understanding the Complexities of Social Security Disability

If you’ve been denied Social Security Disability benefits because the Social Security Administration (SSA) claims you can “adjust to other work,” you’re not alone. This common denial tactic often leaves claimants confused and frustrated. While it may seem straightforward, the process of proving your inability to work is intricate and requires a deep understanding of medical regulations and legal procedures.

 

The Challenges of “Adjusting to Other Work”

The SSA’s determination of your ability to work involves a complex medical-vocational analysis. This analysis considers your residual functional capacity (RFC), which is a medical assessment of your limitations, and matches it to jobs that exist in significant numbers in the national economy. If the SSA believes you can perform these jobs, they may deny your claim.

 

Why You Need Legal Representation

Navigating the Social Security Disability appeals process can be overwhelming, especially when faced with a denial based on your ability to adjust to other work. A skilled Social Security disability lawyer can:

• Thoroughly Review Your Medical Records: Your lawyer will meticulously examine your medical records to identify any inconsistencies or overlooked conditions that may support your claim.
• Challenge the SSA’s Medical Opinion: If the SSA’s medical consultant disagrees with your treating physician’s assessment, your lawyer can challenge this opinion and present additional evidence.
• Develop a Strong Legal Argument: Your lawyer will craft a compelling legal argument that highlights the severity of your impairments and your inability to work.
• Represent You at Hearings: Your lawyer will represent you at hearings, advocate for your rights, and question adverse witnesses.
• Appeal Denials: If your claim is denied, your lawyer will file timely appeals and pursue your case through the appeals process.
