Medical Evidence: The Key to Winning Your NY SSD Claim - When applying for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits in New York, strong medical evidence isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. The Social Security Administration (SSA) doesn’t make decisions based on your word alone. Instead, your eligibility depends largely on how well your medical records document your condition, its severity, and how it prevents you from working. https://pashlerdisability.com/medical-evidence-the-key-to-winning-your-ny-ssd-claim/

What is a Social Security Disability Review?

Social Security Disability review is when the Social Security Administration (SSA) checks to see if you still qualify for disability benefits. These reviews, called Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs), ensure your condition is still severe enough to keep you from working. During the process, the SSA updates your medical records and may schedule a medical exam.

If your condition hasn’t improved and you still can’t work, your benefits should continue. How often the SSA reviews your disability depends on the likelihood of improvement in your condition. You usually have 60 days to file an appeal at each step. Pashler & Devereaux can guide you through the process, help with paperwork, gather evidence, and represent you during hearings. Legal support increases your chances of success and reduces stress.

Older workers might not need to adjust to other types of work.

When you apply for Social Security Disability, you will be assessed on whether you can continue in your line of work. If you are over 50, you might not have to transition to other employment.

Four types of functional capacity categories are based on how much you can lift:

Sedentary: The job does not involve lifting more than 10 pounds.

Light: The job involves lifting more than 10 pounds and occasionally up to 20 pounds.

Medium: You are frequently required to lift 25 pounds and occasionally over 50 pounds.

Heavy: You frequently must lift over 50 pounds.

Older workers may qualify for Social Security Disability even if they can perform sedentary, light, or medium work - depending on their age, education level, experience, and other factors. The rules are complicated, and it’s essential to seek the help of an experienced attorney. Call us or visit pashlerdisibility.com for information.
