His education makes everything alittle dicey but if he can't stand or sit for 6 out of 8 hrs ,what jobs would there be that don't require standing or sitting. Maybe a bed tester job at Lazy Boy-but those are far and few.
His attorney is best equiped to answer most questions.
And don't forget the pain factor. Albert Einstein would be considered disbled he had trouble thinking,standing or sitting because of pain.

Everybody scenario's different. One ALJ will have a 45% approval rating, another 95%. When thousands of terminal patients die while waiting to collect SSDI benefits, nobody is a slam-dunk case.
Of course the effects of pain make a difference, as does medication. Both need to be documented in detail. I'm not claiming he won't be successful. Just that, based upon a partial explanation of restrictions, you shouldn't claim approval is a given... (I addressed how the restrictions were worded in another post for the OP.)
