💡 Helpful Tip Friday
If your doctor changes your work restrictions, keep a record of it.
Maybe you can no longer lift what you used to, sit or stand for as long, or your doctor has told you to avoid certain activities altogether.
Those changes can help document how your condition affects what you can realistically do at work.

You can grocery shop, make dinner, or drive yourself to a doctor’s appointment. Does that mean you can’t qualify for SSDI?
No. Being able to handle some everyday activities is not the same as being able to work reliably on a full-time basis.
Social Security looks at what your condition actually allows you to do over the course of a workday and workweek.

Keep track of the days when your symptoms are at their worst.
If pain, fatigue, anxiety, or other symptoms cause you to cancel plans, spend much of the day resting, or struggle with basic tasks, write it down.
Those bad days can show how often your condition interferes with maintaining a regular work schedule.

If you’re over 50 and can no longer do the work you’ve done for years, your age may actually matter in an SSDI claim.
Social Security considers age along with your work history, education, limitations, and whether you could realistically adjust to other work.
The rules change as you get older, and understanding how they apply can make a complicated process a little clearer.
