Social security help from the beginning
When determining if a person can perform a work function, the examiner will look at the functional and physical limits of the injury, how old a person is and his education. This grid helps them decide if a person is capable of doing any of his previous employment or other employment. The medical vocational grid still leaves a lot of room for error. The limitations of a condition and the need for social security disability insurance are very difficult to fit into a simple set of guidelines. The claims manager will still need to use some common sense and subjectivity to determine if a person can perform work.
