The Social Security Administration has special rules for claimants over 50. If you are over 50 and can no longer do the sort of work you have done in the past, then Social Security must take into account your age when considering whether or not you can do other work.
These rules are embodied in the Medical-Vocational Guidelines, which are used by the SSA to determine disability. An experienced attorney can use these presumptions to help win your disability case.
If you are over 50 years old and are limited to unskilled sedentary work, Social Security should determine that you are unable to transition to other work due to your age. This determination can make the difference between receiving disability benefits and being denied benefits.
If you are over 50 years old and are seeking Social Security disability benefits, please contact Gordon Gates.
