Ft. Pierce Social Security Disability Attorney Randy Zeldin, Esq., represents individuals in Fort Pierce, Florida, before Social Security Judges. A Social Security Disability Claimant living in Ft. Pierce, Florida, must succeed through a Five-Step Process to receive Social Security Disability Benefits.

• Step 1- Is the Claimant earning more than $1,170.00 per month? If yes, this is “substantial gainful activity” and the Claimant would likely not be eligible.
• Step 2- Does the impairment significantly limit the ability to work; is it severe?
• Step 3- Does the Claimant have an Extreme Medical Condition, which is equal to a “Listing”?
• Step 4- Does the Claimant have the ability to return to past work?
• Step 5- If past work is precluded, does the person retain capacity to do any other kind of work.

If a claimant can perform “other work” which is available in the U.S. national economy, he or she will automatically be deemed “not disabled.” It is the burden of the Social Security Administration to demonstrate that work exists in the U.S. national economy, which the Claimant can perform. The first step is to determine the claimant’s residual functional capacity. Any skills the claimant developed in her prior work history and whether the claimant retains the ability to perform such skills. If the answer is “yes”, the issue becomes whether the skills are transferrable to a lighter job within the individual’s current functional capacity. All these factors will be considered in context of the claimant’s highest educational level and age. Ft. Pierce Social Security Lawyer, Randy Zeldin, will thoroughly cross-examine Vocational Experts presented by the Social Security Administration, to be certain that an individual is not unfairly assessed for purposes of a Social Security Disability claim.
