How does Social Security determine if I am disabled or not ?Social Security uses a disability process that will evaluate your education, work, and medical conditions. The definition of disability states that you must have been out of work for twelve months or expect to be unable to work for twelve months due to your medical and/or mental conditions. Therefore, Social Security disability will acquire your medical records, and work and educational information in order to ascertain your functional ability to perform substantial gainful work activity. Remember you will have the responsibility of providing any additional information that is requested by social security or attending any consultative exams (these are medical examinations that applicants for social security disability and SSI are sometimes sent to) that are scheduled by the state disability examiner, because your disability claim may be denied simply because you failed to attend a consultative exam or failed to return needed information.
