The center of a social security disability claim is the inability to engage in gainful employment activity due to your medical condition, either physical or mental or a combination of both. This is determined by the SSA from reviewing all pertinent medical information submitted and basing the decision on whether or not you can be expected to return to this kind of work or some related “other work” and at what point, if ever. In order to qualify for social security disability benefits, you must be determined to be disabled for a minimum of 12 months or your condition results in death.
In SSA jargon, what they are trying to determine from the medical evidence is your “residual functioning capability”, or RFC, or what kind of job activity of which you are capable despite your medical status. Available is an RFC form which is completed by your doctor and details the functions and limitation to your condition. For example, the form contains fields that allow your doctor to document physical and mental limitation to job performance, such as lifting, stooping, whether or not you can stand or sit for a period of time, etc. Asking your doctor to fill out this form can have a great impact on your disability claim, and your disability attorney can provide these forms for you to present to your treating physician.
