Maximum Residual
Functional Capacity Possible for
Disability Finding Medical-Vocational Guidelines chart with age, education, and work experience combinations. by Thomas E. Bush Excerpted from Social Security Disability Practice
The following chart is a composite of information from the three grids in the Medical-Vocational Guidelines. The chart focuses on those rules that result in a claimant being found disabled. It shows different combinations of age, education and work experience with the maximum exertional residual functional capacity that a claimant may have and still be found disabled. Thus, the chart shows what you have to prove when, for example, a 55-year old high school graduate with an unskilled work background comes to your office to discuss heart impairment: the claimant must have an RFC for light work or less in order to win the case.
Thomas E. Bush has devoted his practice to social security disability issues since 1977. He was elected to NOSSCR’s Board of Directors in 1988, and was President of NOSSCR for the 1997-98 term. He is the author of Social Security Disability Practice, from which this article is excerpted. |
