- We work with your doctors to get the medical evidence to prove your case.
In order to determine whether you are disabled under Title II (disability) and Title
XVI (SSI), the Social Security Administration will go through a five step sequential
evaluation as follows:
1. Is the Claimant working and performing substantial gainful activity (SGA)
2. Does the Claimant have a severe impairment?
3. Does the Claimant have an impairment that meets or equals a listing?
4. Does the severity of the Claimant's impairments preclude the Claimant
from performing their past relevant work?
5. Based upon the Claimant's residual functional capacity, can the Claimant
perform other work, existing in significant numbers, in the regional or
national economy?
The Social Security Administration will consider your past work experience, your
age, and your education in its determination of your eligibility for benefits.
