Work History Report
When you apply for Social Security Disability benefits, you will have to complete a Work History report for all jobs you have performed in the past 15 years. This does not look like a very important form, but it is. Social Security is not using it to check to see if it matches their payroll information or anything like that. Rather, it will be used to determine what kind of work you have done in the past. To many pople make their previous work description easier than it was performed. Take your time completing this form. Think about the work. The harder the job was, the more difficult it will be for the judge to say you can perform your past work. The easier the job description and detail you give, the easier it will be for the judge to say you can do your past work and you lose your case. Remember, you need to write down how long you had to stand, walk, reach, and handle. Take the maximum amount; do not try to average it out. It is okay if the categories equal more than the hours...
