Musculoskeletal complaints are often seen on applications for social security disability and ssi based on disability. And, of course, this includes complaints of shoulder pain. Typically, the claimant who alleges shoulder pain as a disabling condition has a severely restricted range of motion in one or both shoulder joints. These shoulder problems may be due to bursitis, arthritis, or a recent or old injury. How does the social security administration view such limitations? Allegations of impaired shoulder use are viewed in this context: is the claimant limited with regard to the ability to lift objects or reach overhead? If a claimant's past work relied substantially on the ability to lift a certain amount of weight or reach forward or overhead, it may be determined that they are no longer capable of doing their past work. However, just because a claimant is unable to do their past work does not mean they will be approved for benefits. SSA may decide that the claimant is capable of doing "other work".
