We have extensive experience to help claimants get the best results. At Plaxen Adler Muncy, we fight to help workers get all the benefits they deserve. This is especially true if they are older and have little education. Our Maryland Social Security Disability lawyers understand how hard it can be for some workers to be retrained for new work. The worn-out worker rule looks at the work the applicant previously did – NOT what he/she might be able to do. A worker who would be disqualified because they could do light duty work won’t be disqualified through the worn-out worker rule. The worn-out worker rule comes into play for workers who have 35 years of arduous work experience but may be limited to light or medium work and due to their age do not qualify under a grid rule (especially if they are under 55). If you are over the age of 55 and your past work was at the medium level or above, and you are now limited to light or sedentary work you will be found disabled if you do not have transferable skills. If you are over the age of 50 and your past work was at the light level or above, and you are now limited to sedentary work, you will be found disabled as long as you do not have transferable skills to a sedentary job. ![]() The grid rules look at your age, education, and work experience. If someone can perform heavy or very heavy work, the chances of them being found disabled are pretty small, so the SSA has not even created grids for those people. your age must be over age 50 your education illiterate, high school grad or less, high school grad or more the skill level of your past work unskilled. ![]() Many older applicants with little education who have done physical labor most of their lives often qualify under the grid rule test. Typically, applicants are grouped into one of several categories here sedentary work, light work, medium work, heavy work, or very heavy. The SSDI grid reviews the Workers’ education, job skills, experience, and age. If the worker does not have physical or mental impairment that’s on the approved list, the SSA then looks at the Workers’ residual functional capacity to see if the grid can be used to qualify the worker. Social Security examines if the applicant has a disability that is on the Social Security Disability list of impairments. Many workers don’t need the worn-out rules to win their exception. How does the evaluation of the worn-out worker rule work?
