What is Social Security looking for regarding my claim?
Social Security looks at several factors to decide your claim, including medical condition, age, education, and previous work done in the last fifteen years. Your medical condition(s) must have lasted, or be expected to last, for at least one year, or be expected to result in your death. If you are over 55, you generally have to prove that you are disabled from performing the work you performed in the last 15 years. If you are under 50, you have to prove that you are disabled from performing any job that exists in the national economy.
