I just turned age 59, and 86% through my initial SSDI application. I made sure during my CE that I included documentation that I’m using a walker. (I did use my walker for all medical visits). I also use a medical transport service as well. My physician prescribed a permanent disability placard for me. I can walk independently for about 15-20 minutes, but then the back pain sets in and I either have to sit, bend forward and need that walker. I made sure all these details were included in writing. Hoping for a positive SSDI outcome 🙏🏻

As long as in writing includes continued repetition by your provider in their records, sounds helpful! Fingers crossed for you Sooth.

This video popped up in my queue. You were ever so helpful to me about a year ago. I agree with others that your videos are the best. I thought you would find it interesting of a ONE day approval at initial application. Our 41 year old son applied one day and was literally approved the following day. He has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer extensive metastasis to his liver. Yhey tell us he is terminal but hopeful chemo will buy him time. Thank you for continuing to help others. .

I’m 60 years old. Last worked June 2019 as a Materials Supervisor. Diagnosed with severe PTSD housebound & insomnia. My C&E mental exam is on 15 July for my initial SSDI application which has taken 1 year to get 86% completed. Worried I’ll be denied

@AllThingsSocialSecurity Ай бұрын

OK, so no past relevant work. The delay is very likely b/c there was no available staff to work on your claim at SSA. Hopefully then, your attorney jumped on that to send in medical records to if when SSA hired someone, he/she'd have a volume of worthy medical evidence to review, vs having to start from scratch on that time consuming aspect. Worrying is normal, but you may be in good shape. Positive thoughts!

The fact I'm going thru treatment for stage 3 breast cancer sucks. Even with my other impairments, it did not get me over that final "sedentary job" issue. My last job was sedentary... The thing that is finally going to get me over the hump at 59 is the peripheral neuropathy caused by the chemo... typing is barely a step away from torture...

Hello Stephanie , first off it’s hard to believe you’re in that 50 range. I would’ve never guessed. Anyway, I recently had a phone call from a vocational “ expert “ and he asked about ten questions in reference to my most recent job of 16 yrs. So , I was wondering if that’s normal and could this be a good sign? Thanks for the informative info and helping so many people. 👍🇺🇸

@AllThingsSocialSecurity 2 ай бұрын

In my experience, that would be a call from the Adjudicator if you are in midst of a pending claim. I find it funny that he would claim to be a vocational expert. The VEs don't call claimants and ask questions in my experience. Rather the Adjudicator will call to clarify certain PRW questions for those OVER 50 but no so much for under. For under, they know that even if the person couldn't do PRW, they will deny them at step 5 (other work), so they often bypass the PRW question (expedition) b/c the result will be the same. That said, if you answered in ways that provide for NO transferability of skills from that PRW AND, that you can't exertionally (or mentally, or other "ly") do that level of work, and you are limited to the level of exertion set forth in the grid that applies to your age - you could be awarded very soon! Thank you for the kind words - Zoom filters do wonders :)

You mentioned that that you have to PROVE your limitations. Is it medical proof when my doctor gives me work limitations stating that I'm limited to 4 days of work per week and and 4 hours per day. Also I am to take breaks every 30 minutes alternating walking , sitting with feet lifted and reclining position to minimize swelling. Is this proof? or please describe how to give proof. I'm 61 years old, does that help with the grids also?Thank you.

@AllThingsSocialSecurity 2 ай бұрын

Yes, that would be considered a medical opinion by a treating physician. The factfinder will consider that evidence along with all other, and decide how much weight to give it. If it is well-supported by that doctors' Treatment notes of findings at your visits, and is not inconsistent with the other medical evidence (or your own statements), it can be VERY helpful. Sometimes, though, a factfinder will decide to not give it as much weight as we would like, for whatever reason, but then you APPEAL. Doctors that will give solid Med Opinions are few and far between, so you have a gem there!

I’m 57. Was a skilled worker, so skills may be transferable but I can’t do sedentary work due to I can’t sit for greater than 1 hour. I have cord contact multiple levels thoracic spine. And issues cervical. How would that be considered for skilled transferable at 55 plus. Thanks for all help and the videos!

@AllThingsSocialSecurity 13 сағат бұрын

I bet we were womb mates in different wombs, long ago. Ha, I just turned 57 too, ergo... If the skills are transferrable, they'd have to say which ones and to which occupations... and if they acknowledge you can't do sedentary, if you can do light... note that not ALL skills are transferrable, some are very nichey and can't transfer. OR, if there are MH issues (depression,anxiety) and noted concentration loss, memory limits, etc., those can also help show that a skill from before is not accessible to transfer... and also, one may be able to argue that the new job that does use that skill is in a very different industry with different processes and systems etc, such that a person would have a difficult time adjusting to anything BUT same industry, closely similar processes, etc. Sorry about your spinal issues, can't be fun. But keep up the great attitude!

What about a person that was considered disabled at 58, now over 60? Are CDR's and grid rules different? Even if a miraculous healing took place, the work world would be completely changed.

@AllThingsSocialSecurity 2 ай бұрын

Grid rules apply during CDR, so there mere passing of time can make it 'easier' to win a CDR. But that doesn't mean a 60 year old will pass the CDR - if he can not do his prior work again, due to that medical miracle. Unfortunately, miracles are rare.

My situation is my last employment is older than 5 years ago. So with the new 5 year rule, how will a judge determine my transferrable skills? Will the judge conclude I have no transferrable skills because my last employment date is outside of 5 years or will the judge still look at my last employer to decide transferable skills?

@AllThingsSocialSecurity Ай бұрын

You have NO transferrable skills; so unless there is very recent education that can put you right into a skilled job, they'd have to only consider unskilled jobs, within whatever framework your Vocational Profile puts you in. This is an example of where it helps. It doesn't mean one is disabled, but you no longer have to prove you can't do those older jobs due to your impairments.

Hello, PLEASE help ! At what point do they say hold old you are ? Is it when I was disabled? For example: Lets say I was injured at 48. Then I filled out an application at 49+7 months and a hearing would be after I'm 50. So how old will they consider me at the hearing? I haven't been able to find a good answer to this yet. Thank you for all the information you give out in these videos.

@AllThingsSocialSecurity 2 ай бұрын

Hi Chris! OK, so they check ALL years from the time you allege (to see if disabled using any GRID that applies), at age change dates, and the months after an age change, applying the various rule(s) that would apply at each possible time. That means while you may not have been able to win as of 49-7, you may be found disabled as of age 50 due to that little extra helping rule for 50-54s (or even a few months earlier than 50 b/c they can often do that)...

@AllThingsSocialSecurity 2 ай бұрын

I had a case where we lost at OHO, appealed to AC, got a reversal and award (not a remand) b/c the AC applied the new change age rules to all the findings that the ALJ found... what this did mean was that he won but not back to age 47 that we argued he was disabled at, but at 50 when the finding of "yes, sedentary" would still mean disabled (which is not so when we are 47). So yes, age change CAN help.

There was a fee, since the AC took a while, but there is much more to think of, in my opinion. My bigger concern is always if a person does not prevail at all, when they really need to move forward. Also, as an under 50, while I knew in reality he could not work full time at anything, the WALL in front of under 50s is very thick and high.

I am going to try to sum this up in the near future in a quickie video Goky, with some excellent links to details. But if I am understanding your suggestions, no, that isn't it. Not only are 35 years used in SSR deviated from due to disability preventing, but we also get to drop 1 year of lowest for every 5 we worked. Even though we were not disabled during those years. This is great to drop some of those 22 year old low wage periods of time!

@AllThingsSocialSecurity 2 ай бұрын

No worries, Idea, I didn't assess you :) So there is nothing to disagree with. We are ONLY speaking of the law and its recognition that as we age, our ability to adjust to "other work" (not the stuff we are plowing through and have kicked butt at in our 50s+ hugely) as a general fact in the population at large, diminishes. And I should emphasize, it is NOT about doing the work you do and have experience in, which we tend to do even better as we age, but the NEW type of work, is where the law recognizes we are generally challenged. This is highly skilled and less highly skilled workers.
