The Social Security Act defines a disabled individual as a person unable to “engage in any substantial gainful activity” due to a physical or mental impairment that has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months, or can be expected to result in death. What constitutes “disabled” is decided by the Social Security Administration, and is not the same criteria as used by the Veteran’s Administration or other administrative agencies. To qualify for Social Security benefits, the Administration must determine if you are unable to perform any type of work on a full-time basis, along with considering education, age and work experience. If you have applied for Social Security and have been denied, have questions, or need help with an Appeal, contact the Pennsylvania social security attorneys at Calhoon and Kaminsky P.C., for a free consultation.
