✅ Recent Work Requirement: Generally, you must have worked 5 out of the last 10 years before becoming disabled.
✅ Severe Medical Condition: Your condition must prevent you from performing substantial gainful activity (SGA), defined as earning more than $1,620 per month (or $2,700 for blind individuals) in 2025.
✅ Medical Evidence: You must provide medical records showing how your condition limits your ability to work (e.g., standing, walking, focusing).
✅ Inability to Work: SSA must determine that you cannot do your past work or adjust to other work based on your condition, age, education, and experience.
✅ Listing of Impairments: If your condition matches or equals one in the SSA’s Blue Book, you may automatically qualify for benefits.
