The amount that you pay on your taxes affects the amount of Social Security Disability Benefits that you’re eligible for. Education and work experience are important when Social Security is looking at what types of jobs you can or cannot perform.
Social Security is required to consider the last 15 years of your work experience to see what kind of skills you have or what types of jobs you can perform. Your education and work experience become more important the older you get, especially after the age of 50.
