Houston Social Security Disability | Disability Definition
To be deemed eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance, your condition must fit into the strict legal definition of disability as set by the Social Security Administration (SSA) for this purpose. Your disability must have lasted or be expected to last 12 months; no benefits are paid for partial or short-term disability.
The concise legal definition of disability for Social Security purposes considers you disabled if a) you have a severe medical condition that interferes with basic work-related activities; b) you cannot do the work you did before; c) SSA decides that you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical conditions; and d) your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or will result in death.
While this definition may sound straightforward, this Houston Social Security Disability attorney with decades of experience understands the SSA definition of disability. Social Security maintains a list of medical conditions that are so severe that if you meet their diagnosis requirements, they rule that you are disabled.
It is very difficult to prove to Social Security that you are disabled, Medical records have to be gathered and analyzed. A Houston area attorney is helpful in working with your medical professional to establish the severity of your diagnosis. Further work by a lawyer will help you prove that your condition interferes with your current employment and all other types of eligible work thus meeting the legal definition of disability.
