Disability Evaluation Under Social Security

Disability evaluation under Social Security is a process to determine if a person’s medical condition prevents them from working and qualifies them for benefits. It involves reviewing medical records, conditions, and how symptoms affect the ability to perform work-related activities. A medical consultant or doctor assesses whether the impairment meets specific criteria set by the Social Security Administration (SSA). If approved, individuals may receive monthly benefits to support them during their inability to work. The goal is to ensure that only those who genuinely cannot earn a living because of their disability receive these benefits.
