I just wanted to let you know, you're probably in the last 2 steps in the process which is good news. In step 4 the SSA determines if you can do present or past work. In step 5, the last step, they determine if you can do other work. (like sedentary work, answering phones as an example)

The downside is that 30.7 % of claims are denied because the SSA determines that you can do other type of work and 26.2% of claims are denied because they determine that you can do current or past work.

It's all based on what they call a medical-vocational profile.

Hang in there. You're nearly through the process.
