Yeah or talk about how they string you along for YEARS AND YEARS and make you jump through hoops, humiliate you and treat you like a lying criminal an spit in your face over and over as you lose everything you ever worked for. Let's talk about how they just hand it over to people that shouldn't even be in our country. Talk about how there is no rhyme or reason to a judges decision making and they can approve or deny based just on what side of the bed they woke up on that day as they laugh at objective evidence and NEVER be held accountable for it as the claimant gives up and ends their own life. Hey how bout the death toll and suicide numbers of Americans who are crapped on by this system? Lets talk about that.

Great question. The law does help people at age 50 keep their benefits if you are ever under a CDR (Continuing Disability Review) - the 50 (or 50 plus) depending on your age - category will apply when SSA is reviewing your case. First, if someone is under the age of 50, SSA can ask the questoin if there is ANY job in the USA that exists in significant numbers that a claimant can do. (ANY JOB - meaning, even if you were a Medical Doctor, and if you're under 50 - if that Medical Doctor can be a parking lot attendant (full-time) then the person under 50 will not be considered disabled. However, when someone is over the age of 50 - they look at the claimants past relevant work, they look at the claimant maximum physical capacity and they look at if there are transferable skills from that claimants past relevant work into the persons maximum physical capacity. I hope this helps answer your question. The topic of transferable skills is one of the more difficult ones for our new lawyers to learn.
