Question:
How does Social Security decide if I am disabled?
Answer:
For an adult to be considered disabled, Social Security must
determine that you are unable to do the work you did before and,
based on your age, education, and work experience, you are unable to
adjust to any other work that exists in significant numbers in the
national economy. Also, your disability must last or be expected to
last for at least one year or to result in death. Social Security
pays only for total disability. No benefits are payable for partial
disability or short-term disability (less than a year). For more
information, we recommend you read Disability Benefits (SSA
Publication No. 05-10029), available online at
www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10029.html.
