Social Security Disability

The Social Security system provides a monthly disability check to certain individuals who have worked long enough under the Social Security system and are totally disabled as per the definition in the Social Security Act. The disability must last or be expected to last at least 12 months or to result in death.

The Social Security Act defines "disability" as "inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

Answer

The Social Security Administration does not accept a conclusion from a physician that someone is disabled. They view the doctors as medical experts only and not vocational experts. They believe that the only input the doctors can give are things such as what is a person's diagnosis, what are the tests that result in that diagnosis, and what are the restrictions or limitations that result from the condition.
