The Social Security Administration (SSA) has its own definition of disability, which is distinct from the definition of insurance disability policies, workers' compensation or even a doctor stating that a claimant is unable to work.
The SSA will look at information from doctors, nurses, and other medical practitioners.
The SSA will also send out forms to relatives and acquaintances of the applicant to document the limitations in social functioning.
If an applicant is below age 50, it is generally assumed that applicant is able to adjust to any new type "light duty" job without much difficulty.
After age 50, age is considered to be an important obstacle to new employment, and after age 55 it is considered even more of an obstacle.
Therefore, the older a person is before applying, generally, the easier it is to show a lack of ability to perform jobs and therefore receive benefits.
