5 Requirements for Social Security Disability Eligibility in Indiana (Part B)
Is your daily functioning limited?
The third Social Security disability eligibility requirement is that you must be able to demonstrate significant interference with daily functioning. These limitations must affect your ability to work.
Some of the types of limitations that could prevent an individual from performing basic work duties include:
- carrying;
- walking;
- reaching;
- standing;
- pulling;
- seeing;
- speaking;
- hearing;
- carrying out simple instructions;
- dealing with/responding to usual work situations; and
- remembering details.
These are just some of the daily functioning limitations that could affect your ability to receive disability benefits.
Are you disabled from previous work?
A fourth requirement is that it must be demonstrated you are not able to perform work you have done in the past. For instance, you may have been a machine operator for the past year, and your medical condition prevents you from continuing in this field. However, if you previously held an office job that you could return to, then you may not qualify.
Do other factors prevent you from pursuing other work?
The final Social Security disability eligibility requirement is that even if you can't work in your current job or past jobs, you will need to demonstrate that because of other factors (such as your age), you will not be able to find other work.
