I was denied Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits and/or Supplemental Security Income. The denial letter said I was not disabled. What makes me disabled?

According to Social Security you are disabled when:

  1. You are not involved in any substantial gainful activity (In other words, you are not doing a job that earns you more than $860 per month in 2006)
  2. You have a severe mental or physical impairment that has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months
  3. You are unable to perform any past work
  4. You are unable to perform or to be trained to perform any other less demanding work
