A person must not only be unable to do his or her previous work but cannot, considering age, education, and work experience, engage in any other kind of substantial gainful work which exists in the national economy. It is immaterial whether such work exists in the immediate area, or whether a specific job vacancy exists, or whether the worker would be hired if he or she applied for work. The worker's impairment or impairments must be the primary reason for his or her inability to engage in substantial gainful activity, although age, education, and work experience are also taken into consideration in determining the worker's ability to do work other than previous work. No individual under the age of 18 who engages in substantial gainful activity can be considered disabled. For both title II and title XVI, regardless of age, no individual may be considered disabled if drug or alcohol abuse would be a factor material to the determination of disability.
Benefits is the same as that shown for disabled workers above.
A disabled adult son or daughter may be reentitled to childhood disability benefits if he or she again becomes disabled within 84 months of the month in which benefits were terminated because an earlier disability ended. Disabled adult sons or daughters can qualify on the record of a grandparent in some cases. These benefits are payable without a waiting period. If any of the above is a condition that prohibits you from working at your regular position, then you are disabled. It will throw out your application automatically.
