This guide is written by a former Chief Medical Consultant for the Social Security Administration whose expert deciphering of the medical portions of SSA regulations will help you understand how you can get benefits. If you've been denied benefits already, this book will tell you how to find out why and what steps to take to prove that you should get benefits on appeal.

This edition is completely updated with the latest rules and information (including changes to the musculoskeletal listings) plus updated figures for 2022.
