How will Social Security find you disabled?Once your Social Security disability claim arrives at the state disability agency, a disability examiner will request your medical information. As your medical information is received, the disability examiner will check to see if there are current medical records that address all of your alleged medical and/or mental conditions. Social Security usually uses a twelve-month evaluation period to establish the severity of your conditions. Of course, some individuals have more than a years worth of medical records, and others have less than a year. Social Security considers medical records to be current if they are three months old or less; if you have no medical records within the last three months there is a good chance that you will be scheduled for consultative examinations. Once Social Security has the medical evidence they consider to be enough medical information, they will make a decision as to whether you are disabled according to Social Security rules. A disability examiner usually takes into account your medical and/or mental condition, medical history, work history (what types of work you have performed in the past fifteen years), age, your residual functional abilities, and your education, when making your Social Security disability decision.
