I have been to vocational rehab and they ran some evaluationsand they found that i have no marketable skills and i am going to mental health and i am under a case manager and a phychiatrist. Can i win disability with those problems and i also have degenerative disc disease and scolosis  Can I win disability with those problems?

Jonathan Ginsberg responds:  Daniel, thanks for your question.  It certainly sounds like you would have some significant problems trying to work, but I am not certain that a vocational rehab evaluation would be enough to win a Social Security disability case.  Certainly these evaluations would serve as evidence, but I think you would need support from one or more doctors or mental health professionals like your psychiatrist or phycologist..

You also don’t say how old you are – generally younger claimants have a more difficult time winning disability.

The bottom line – your vocational rehab assessments are good evidence and a judge would certainly consider those conclusions.  If this was a case I was handling, however, I would want more evidence, and medical evidence in particular.
