Disability Evaluation

Disability evaluation is a systematic process used to determine the extent of an individual's physical or mental impairment and its impact on their ability to perform daily activities or work. This evaluation often involves interviews, medical examinations, and assessments against established criteria. The goal is to assess how the disability affects quality of life and functionality, which can inform decisions regarding benefits, support services, and accommodations. Organizations like the Social Security Administration in the U.S. utilize these evaluations to ensure fair assistance for those who qualify based on their specific limitations and needs.
