What Is Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) for SSDI Claims?

Understanding Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) is one of the most important parts of a successful Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) application. This assessment can determine whether you’re approved or denied, even if your condition doesn’t meet a specific listing in the SSA’s Blue Book.

In this video, Attorney Kaitlin Wildoner of Beacon Disability, PLLC breaks down exactly what RFC means, how the Social Security Administration evaluates it, and how it applies to your ability to work.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
🔹 What RFC is and how the SSA uses it to assess your work capabilities
🔹 How your physical and mental limitations are considered
🔹 The critical role of medical records, test results, and your personal statements
🔹 Why detailed symptom descriptions are more effective than vague responses
🔹 How age, education, and work experience influence your eligibility
🔹 What steps to take if you believe the SSA got your RFC wrong

The SSA wants to know not just what you can’t dobut what you can still manage in a work environment. That’s why being clear, honest, and specific about your limitations is key. Your RFC can shape the entire course of your claim, especially during appeals.
