Can You Get SSDI for Joint Pain? Tips for Seniors Over 55

If you’ve spent your life doing hard physical labor like construction, factory work, or nursing, and now face serious health problems, your work history could actually strengthen your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claim.

In this video, Attorney Kaitlin Wildoner of Beacon Disability, PLLC breaks down how the SSA evaluates your past work, what “heavy work” really means under the regulations, and why your age can shift the odds in your favor.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
🔹 How heavy physical labor jobs impact your SSDI evaluation
🔹 Why being over age 50 (or 55) matters under SSA’s “grid rules”
🔹 What kind of medical evidence best supports your claim
🔹 How to prove you can’t return to past work or switch to desk jobs
🔹 How to avoid common mistakes that lead to denials

SSA may assume that you can switch to a less physical job, even if you’ve never worked in one before. That’s why it’s so important to document your work history in detail and provide medical evidence that clearly shows why that’s not realistic.
