Social Security Gainful Work
A condition that the government usually must satisfy before a recipient receives Social Security disability benefits is whether the individual's condition prevents them from doing the job he or she had at the time they became disabled.
Such a determination may be subject to a few legal interpretations. Some people have used the services of a Phoenix personal injury attorney.
If a person qualifies, the next step that the government can take is to determine if the benefits applicant can do any other kind of substantial gainful work. The person's age, training, education and work experience all will be considered in making the determination. Social Security may evaluate whether a person is able to perform any kind of work for pay, whether or not there are actually such jobs available in the area in which the applicant lives.
It is usually up to Social Security to be able to prove that there is gainful employment the applicant can perform. Again some people have used a personal injury attorney in the past.
Only when a disability is determined fully disabling by a doctor can an applicant receive benefits. Sometimes Social Security disability benefits may be discontinued if a recipient is able to earn his or her own living.
