The Disability Evaluation Process
The Disability Evaluation Process
Let Our Skilled Orange County SSD Lawyer Help!
Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are provided to a certain number of individuals who qualify for these payments and services. One of the qualifications needed is a medical disability that prevents an individual from doing essential work-related tasks on a day-to-day basis. To avoid cases of SSD fraud, the Social Security Administration (SSA) conducts a Disability Evaluation to confirm whether a person’s medical condition qualifies them for benefits.
If you need to apply for Social Security disability benefits, let us help. Humphrey & Associates has more than 20 years of legal experience to offer your case, and we are dedicated to helping people obtain the results they want. Let us see how we can help.

How It Works
- Step 1: You are not engaging in “substantial gainful activity.” If you are capable of participating in work that is both physically and mentally strenuous and earning money for it, you won’t be considered eligible for benefits.
- Step 2: You have a severe impairment. This means your disability must be medically determinable and must cause a significant reduction in your functioning. This impairment must be expected to last longer than 12 months or be expected to end in death.
- Step 3: Your impairment must meet or equal one of the disabilities described in the Social Security regulations.
- Step 4: Your past relevant work is considered, and you must prove you cannot do any of the work you performed during the past 15 years.
- Step 5: You must prove you are unable to do other work that exists in significant numbers in the national economy, considering how well you function, how old you are, and your education and work experience.
