As part of the disability evaluation process, SSA will decide whether your medical impairments prevent you from returning to work. They’ll specifically look at the type of work you’ve performed over the last 15 years. To complete this assessment, SSA must have a thorough understanding of your job title, the industry in which you were working, and the day-to-day physical and mental demands of the work activity. The more details and description you provide about work demands, the better.
