Are You Old Enough for Social Security Disability? Florida Social Security Disability Lawyer

Being unable to work and being found disabled are two different things. The Social Security Administration uses a grid system as apart of the Five Step Sequential Evaluation which is heavily weighted based on age.

If you are under the age of 45 or 50 and you can’t do your past jobs or work full time at any regular job, you should be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits.

If you are over age 50 and have a severe impairment that keeps you from doing all but the easiest and lightest job, you should consider applying for Social Seucrity Disability benefits. If you are over age 55 and can’t do the lightest job you’ve done in the last fifteen years, you should apply for Social Security Disability benefits.
