I get many questions from clients about working and disability. Most of the time the answer is it depends on several factors. If a person is working and demonstrates substantial gainful activity, that person usually is not eligible to receive benefits.

I often hear people tell me that there are no jobs where they live. Disability is not dependent on jobs in your area. Keep in mind …Disability is determined by the ability to perform work, and is not dependent on job openings in your town.

I was in a hearing many years ago in southeast Oklahoma. The Judge asked my client, “If I was sitting on your front porch and looking through your window, what type of activities would I see you doing on a typical day?” My client, without missing a beat replied, “Judge, if you were on my front porch looking through the window, you would see a double barrel shotgun pointing at you. “ Sometimes it’s the question and sometimes it’s the answer. 😂🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️
