How do I prove I am disabled?

A useful guide to proving your Social Security disability claim

 
     
 

1. You have not worked earning more than $800* a month for at least 12 months or longer OR it is likely you will be unable to earn more than $800 a month for 12 months or longer.

2. The reason you are unable to work more is because you have one or more physical or mental conditions with symptoms that severely affect your ability to work.

3. If you have a specific physical or mental condition with a certain level of severity as described in the Social Security regulations, you may be found disabled without further proof.

4. Your physical or mental condition prevents you from doing the specific work you have done in the past 15 years prior to your becoming disabled.

5. Your physical or mental condition prevents you from doing any other type of work that may exist in the United States given your age, education, and past work skills.

* Amount subject to change in the law each year.
