In some situations, individuals have a tendency to fixate on the most complicated medical evidence because they believe it is the best evidence to support their claim. The truth is that it may help their claim, but, more often than not, it is the simple things that really matter.

Compelling medical evidence that proves you are limited in the ability to perform basic functions:

• Sitting, standing, lifting and walking
• Reaching, pulling and bending,
• Seeing, hearing and feeling
• Mental and emotional abilities such as concentrating and socializing

Impairments in these areas are key when determining your residual functional capacity (residual functional capacity is a determination of your maximum capabilities with your impairment). As long as you are able to prove that you are too limited physically and/or mentally to work, then you should be able to prove that you are disabled.
