When evaluating applications, Social Security uses a complex, five-step process to determine if you are qualified for disability benefits. Social Security will ask questions about your disability and your ability to work, such as:

• Are you working?

• Do you have appropriate medical records to document your impairment?

• Is your medical condition considered disabling?

• Do you have the ability to do the work that you've done in the past?

• Can you perform any other work?

If Social Security thinks that you don't meet these federal disability guidelines, you'll be denied benefits.
