The Five-Step Sequential Evaluation
(Are you disabled?)

The Social Security Administration uses a five-step sequential evaluation to determine if a person is disabled. This five-step evaluation can become rather complicated, particularly in cases that are a "close call." Thus, we are not providing an exhaustive description of all of the relevant issues. However, if you believe you are disabled, this section will provide a general description of the rules for determining disability. Because of the complex nature of these rules, we strongly recommend that you seek representation by someone who is experienced in this area of the law and can assist you when filing a claim for Tulsa social security disability benefits.

(the steps through the system)

This page of our web site provides an overview of the procedural steps in the pursuit of Social Security Disability benefits, including appeals within the Social Security Administration as well as appeals through the federal courts.

Disability Insurance Benefits vs. Supplemental Security Income
(the differences in these two types of benefits)

The Social Security Act provides for two different types of benefits, Disability Insurance Benefits ("DIB") and Supplemental Security Income ("SSI"). These have some similarities, but they also have some very significant differences. This section of our site briefly describes those differences.
