Social Security's five-step analysis of disability includes the following:
1.) Are you employed? (If you are still working, you are not disabled.)
2.) Have you suffered a severe impairment?
3.) Does your impairment meet Social Security "listings"? (Definitions)
4.) If there is a severe impairment that meets or equals the listing definitions, do you have the ability to do any of the kind of work you did in the past?
5.) If you cannot do any of your past work, is there any other gainful employment in the national economy that you could do?
