One of the unfortunate things with SSDI, the younger you are the
harder it is to get, and the more education you have the harder it is to
get. I was told by many people when I first applied that I would have
to go all the way to the hearing stage because I was in my 30's and had
a college degree. The reason--the younger you are the easier it is to
learn a new skill, and the more education you have the easier it is to
be retrained to another job. Yes it seems silly, but it is true and
therefore since the definition of disability is "unable to perform any
job that one is trained or educated for, or can be reasonably expected
to become trained or educated for" youth and education are an advantage
in becoming "trained or educated for" a job, or new job. So in reverse
youth and education make it harder to meet the definition of disabled.
