Your medical impairment must be the main reason you cannot work. You will not be found disabled if you are physically or mentally able to do any of your past relevant work or any other type of work that exists in significant numbers in the national economy, given your age, education and work experience.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) will not consider any of the following reasons for unemployment when making a disability determination:
- Lack of work in local area;
- Lack of job openings for particular work;
- Your preference for particular types of work;
- Hiring practices of employers;
- Cyclical economic conditions;
- Your efforts to obtain employment.
If you are concerned that your employment history may affect your disability claim, it’s essential to understand how the Social Security Administration evaluates your case. Attorney Christopher Sharry at Sharry & Monfette can provide guidance on navigating the SSDI process, ensuring that your claim is based solely on your medical impairments and meets the SSA’s strict criteria. Contact our office today for a consultation and take the next step toward securing the benefits you deserve.
