This podcast episode provides an in-depth look at the critical aspects of understanding exertional levels in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims, highlighting the importance of the Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) form. It discusses how exertional levels—sedentary, light, medium, and heavy—establish a claimant's work capability and underscores the implications of non-exertional limitations on these levels. By illustrating how factors such as stooping can affect RFC assessments and employment opportunities, the episode emphasizes the necessity of grasping these concepts to navigate the SSDI process effectively.
