Can I Work With Bipolar Disorder?
Many people with bipolar disorder want to work, and some are able to maintain employment when symptoms are stable, treatment is effective, and the job environment is manageable. Others experience depressive episodes, manic or hypomanic episodes, mood swings, sleep disruption, poor concentration, irritability, medication side effects, hospitalizations, or unpredictable symptoms that make full-time work impossible.
The question is not simply whether you have bipolar disorder.
The better question is:
Can you work reliably, safely, and consistently despite bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder does not automatically qualify someone for Social Security Disability benefits. Social Security evaluates whether the condition prevents the person from performing work activity on a regular and continuing basis.
Bipolar disorder may affect work when it causes:
- depressive episodes
- manic episodes
- hypomanic episodes
- mood swings
- irritability
- poor concentration
- racing thoughts
- impulsive decisions
- sleep disruption
- panic symptoms
- social conflict
- poor stress tolerance
- missed workdays
- hospitalizations
- medication side effects
- inability to complete a full workday
- inability to sustain full-time work
This guide explains when a person may still be able to work with bipolar disorder, when bipolar disorder may become disabling, how Social Security evaluates bipolar-related work limitations, and what medical evidence may help support a disability claim.
What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition involving changes in mood, energy, sleep, activity level, concentration, judgment, and behavior. It may involve depressive episodes, manic episodes, hypomanic episodes, or mixed episodes.
Bipolar disorder may cause symptoms such as:
- depression
- low motivation
- fatigue
- hopelessness
- sleep problems
- racing thoughts
- increased energy
- decreased need for sleep
- irritability
- impulsive behavior
- rapid speech
- poor judgment
- distractibility
- agitation
- anxiety
- social withdrawal
- difficulty completing tasks
- suicidal thoughts in severe cases
Bipolar disorder can affect work even when the person appears functional during a short appointment or during a stable period. Social Security should consider the frequency, severity, duration, and functional impact of mood episodes over time.
Can You Work With Bipolar Disorder?
Yes, some people can work with bipolar disorder. Whether someone can work depends on symptom severity, treatment response, stability over time, job demands, stress level, sleep schedule, medication side effects, and the ability to maintain reliable attendance and performance.
A person with bipolar disorder may be able to keep working if:
- symptoms are stable
- mood episodes are infrequent
- medication is effective
- side effects are manageable
- sleep is reasonably consistent
- the job has predictable demands
- stress is limited
- attendance is reliable
- concentration and pace are adequate
- social interaction is manageable
- accommodations are effective
A person may have more difficulty working if bipolar disorder causes:
- frequent depressive episodes
- manic or hypomanic episodes
- mixed episodes
- severe irritability
- panic or anxiety symptoms
- poor judgment
- impulsive behavior
- inability to sleep
- medication sedation
- brain fog
- concentration problems
- hospitalizations
- missed workdays
- failed work attempts
- inability to sustain full-time employment
Social Security evaluates whether bipolar disorder prevents competitive full-time work, not whether the person can function briefly during a stable period or perform limited activities at home.
When Does Bipolar Disorder Make Working Difficult?
Bipolar disorder can make working difficult when mood symptoms interfere with ordinary job demands.
Most jobs require:
- regular attendance
- punctuality
- concentration
- memory
- pace
- persistence
- social interaction
- stress tolerance
- decision-making
- judgment
- ability to accept supervision
- ability to complete a full workday
- ability to work on a consistent schedule
Bipolar disorder may interfere with work when symptoms cause:
- absences
- late arrivals
- early departures
- conflict with coworkers or supervisors
- reduced productivity
- mistakes
- emotional outbursts
- impulsive decisions
- inability to handle criticism
- inability to adapt to changes
- inability to maintain a normal sleep schedule
- inability to complete assignments
A person may want to work and still be unable to sustain work because symptoms are too unpredictable or severe.
Bipolar Disorder and Depressive Episodes at Work
Depressive episodes are often one of the most disabling parts of bipolar disorder.
During a depressive episode, a person may experience:
- persistent sadness
- loss of interest
- low motivation
- fatigue
- sleep problems
- oversleeping
- insomnia
- poor concentration
- memory problems
- slowed thinking
- crying spells
- hopelessness
- social withdrawal
- poor self-care
- suicidal thoughts in severe cases
Depressive episodes may affect work by causing:
- missed workdays
- difficulty getting out of bed
- late arrivals
- inability to complete tasks
- reduced pace
- poor concentration
- inability to interact with others
- inability to handle stress
- inability to complete full shifts
If depressive episodes are frequent, severe, or prolonged, full-time work may become unrealistic.
Bipolar Disorder and Mania at Work
Manic episodes can also create serious work problems. Mania may involve increased energy, decreased need for sleep, rapid speech, racing thoughts, impulsivity, irritability, poor judgment, and risky behavior.
Manic symptoms may affect work by causing:
- impulsive decisions
- inappropriate communication
- conflict with supervisors
- conflict with coworkers
- overspending or financial mistakes
- poor judgment
- unsafe behavior
- inability to follow instructions
- inability to stay on task
- excessive talking
- agitation
- difficulty accepting correction
- disciplinary problems
- job loss
Mania can be especially problematic in jobs involving safety, money, driving, customer interaction, management, healthcare, legal responsibility, machinery, or independent decision-making.
Bipolar Disorder and Hypomania at Work
Hypomania may be less severe than mania, but it can still affect employment. Some people initially feel more productive during hypomanic periods. But the increased energy may come with racing thoughts, irritability, impulsivity, distractibility, poor sleep, or overcommitment.
Hypomania may affect work by causing:
- taking on too many tasks
- starting projects but not finishing them
- talking too much
- interrupting others
- making quick decisions without considering consequences
- poor attention to detail
- impatience
- conflict with others
- reduced sleep followed by a crash
- inconsistent performance
A person may appear productive briefly but be unable to maintain stable performance over time.
Bipolar Disorder and Mixed Episodes
Mixed episodes can be especially difficult because symptoms of depression and mania may occur together.
A person may feel:
- agitated but exhausted
- depressed but unable to sleep
- hopeless but restless
- irritable and emotionally overwhelmed
- impulsive while feeling low
- anxious with racing thoughts
- unable to focus
- unable to calm down
Mixed symptoms may affect work by causing:
- emotional outbursts
- poor concentration
- panic symptoms
- conflict with others
- impulsive decisions
- missed work
- safety concerns
- inability to complete tasks
- need for urgent treatment
Mixed episodes can be particularly destabilizing and should be documented carefully in treatment records.
Bipolar Disorder and Mood Swings at Work
Mood swings can affect work even when they do not fit neatly into a full depressive or manic episode.
Mood instability may cause:
- unpredictable performance
- irritability
- crying spells
- emotional reactions to criticism
- rapid changes in motivation
- difficulty interacting with others
- poor stress tolerance
- inconsistent attendance
- inability to maintain pace
- difficulty completing tasks
Employers usually expect consistent performance. If bipolar disorder causes major fluctuations in functioning, that may become a disability-related issue.
Bipolar Disorder and Sleep Problems
Sleep disruption is central in many bipolar disorder claims. Lack of sleep can worsen mood instability, irritability, concentration problems, anxiety, and risk of manic or hypomanic episodes.
Sleep problems may include:
- insomnia
- decreased need for sleep during mania
- oversleeping during depression
- irregular sleep schedule
- medication-related drowsiness
- poor sleep quality
- nighttime racing thoughts
Sleep problems may affect work by causing:
- late arrivals
- missed workdays
- daytime fatigue
- poor concentration
- reduced pace
- irritability
- errors
- inability to complete full shifts
- worsening mood symptoms
Jobs with rotating shifts, overnight work, high stress, or irregular hours may be especially difficult for some people with bipolar disorder.
Bipolar Disorder and Concentration Problems
Bipolar disorder can interfere with concentration during depressive, manic, hypomanic, mixed, or anxious states.
Concentration problems may affect work by causing:
- mistakes
- missed deadlines
- inability to finish tasks
- difficulty following instructions
- trouble multitasking
- distractibility
- poor attention to detail
- reduced productivity
- difficulty learning new tasks
- inability to stay focused during meetings
Concentration problems may affect office work, customer service, healthcare, driving, safety-sensitive jobs, administrative work, sales, production work, and many other jobs.
Bipolar Disorder and Memory Problems
Memory problems may occur during mood episodes, because of poor sleep, medication side effects, anxiety, depression, or cognitive effects of the condition.
Memory issues may affect work by causing:
- forgotten tasks
- repeated questions
- missed appointments
- missed deadlines
- inability to remember instructions
- mistakes with paperwork
- difficulty following multi-step tasks
- difficulty learning new procedures
A person may understand instructions when given but fail to remember or apply them consistently during the workday.
Bipolar Disorder and Stress Tolerance
Stress can worsen bipolar symptoms. Workplaces often involve deadlines, supervisors, customer complaints, changes in routine, conflicts, productivity expectations, and criticism.
Bipolar disorder may limit the ability to tolerate:
- fast-paced work
- strict quotas
- high-pressure decisions
- customer complaints
- conflict
- criticism
- multitasking
- unpredictable changes
- emergencies
- shift changes
- overtime
- high responsibility jobs
Social Security may consider whether the person needs a low-stress, predictable work environment. But even low-stress work may be unrealistic if symptoms cause absences, off-task time, mood episodes, or inability to complete workdays.
Bipolar Disorder and Social Interaction at Work
Bipolar disorder may affect relationships with supervisors, coworkers, customers, patients, clients, or the public.
Social problems may include:
- irritability
- conflict
- emotional outbursts
- social withdrawal
- excessive talking during manic periods
- difficulty accepting feedback
- mistrust or paranoia in some cases
- anxiety around others
- poor communication during episodes
- inappropriate comments or impulsive behavior
Work-related limitations may include reduced public interaction, limited coworker interaction, limited teamwork, limited supervisory interaction, or no high-conflict work.
Bipolar Disorder and Attendance Problems
Attendance is often one of the most important issues in bipolar disability claims.
Bipolar disorder may cause missed work because of:
- depressive episodes
- manic episodes
- mixed episodes
- insomnia
- medication side effects
- hospitalizations
- crisis treatment
- therapy or psychiatry appointments
- medication adjustments
- panic symptoms
- emotional crashes after periods of instability
- inability to leave the house
- failed work attempts
Competitive employment usually does not tolerate excessive absences. If bipolar disorder causes a person to miss too much work, that can be a strong disability issue.
Bipolar Disorder and Off-Task Time
A person may be physically present at work but unable to stay productive.
Bipolar disorder may cause off-task time because of:
- racing thoughts
- depression
- low motivation
- anxiety
- panic symptoms
- irritability
- poor concentration
- emotional distress
- intrusive thoughts
- medication sedation
- fatigue from poor sleep
- difficulty starting tasks
- inability to finish tasks
At a social security disability hearing, off-task time may be important because a vocational expert may consider whether an employer would tolerate that level of reduced productivity.
Bipolar Disorder and Completing a Full Workday
Some people with bipolar disorder can function for short periods but cannot sustain a full workday.
Problems may arise because of:
- fatigue
- medication side effects
- mood swings
- anxiety
- panic symptoms
- poor concentration
- irritability
- social conflict
- emotional exhaustion
- need to withdraw
- depressive symptoms
- overstimulation during manic or hypomanic periods
This matters because Social Security evaluates whether a person can sustain work on a regular and continuing basis.
Bipolar Disorder and Full-Time Work
Some people with bipolar disorder can work full-time. Others cannot.
A person may struggle with full-time work if they have:
- frequent mood episodes
- repeated medication changes
- hospitalizations
- crisis treatment
- severe depression
- manic episodes
- mixed episodes
- poor sleep
- concentration problems
- excessive absences
- off-task time
- social conflict
- inability to handle stress
- medication sedation
- failed work attempts
The issue is not whether the person can work on a good day. The issue is whether the person can maintain reliable performance over weeks and months.
Can You Work Part-Time With Bipolar Disorder?
Some people with bipolar disorder can work part-time but not full-time. Part-time work may be possible when a person can function for limited periods but cannot sustain the demands of a full schedule.
A person may be limited to part-time work because of:
- fatigue
- sleep disruption
- mood episodes
- therapy or psychiatry appointments
- medication side effects
- stress intolerance
- difficulty working consecutive days
- reduced ability to maintain pace
- need for recovery time after work
Part-time work may or may not affect a Social Security Disability claim depending on earnings, hours, reliability, accommodations, and whether the work shows the ability to sustain substantial gainful activity.
Should I Quit Working Because of Bipolar Disorder?
This is a medical, financial, and legal decision. A person should not quit work based only on a diagnosis.
Before stopping work, it may help to consider:
- whether your doctor believes work is worsening symptoms
- whether symptoms are causing mistakes or safety concerns
- whether absences are becoming excessive
- whether medication side effects interfere with work
- whether accommodations are possible
- whether your job schedule destabilizes sleep
- whether stress triggers mood episodes
- whether you are at risk of hospitalization or crisis treatment
- whether your earnings affect SSDI or SSI eligibility
- whether your medical records document work limitations
Our social security disability lawyers can help evaluate how bipolar-related work problems may affect a potential Social Security Disability claim.
Workplace Accommodations for Bipolar Disorder
Some people with bipolar disorder may continue working with accommodations. Possible accommodations may include:
- consistent schedule
- reduced overtime
- flexible start time
- quiet workspace
- reduced public interaction
- written instructions
- predictable duties
- reduced multitasking
- limited high-stress tasks
- time off for therapy or psychiatry appointments
- remote work if job duties allow
- reduced exposure to conflict
- breaks during symptom flare-ups
- job coaching or check-ins
Accommodations are not always available or effective. If symptoms continue to cause absences, off-task time, mood episodes, poor stress tolerance, or inability to complete workdays, disability benefits may need to be considered.
What Jobs Are Harder With Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder may make certain jobs especially difficult, especially jobs involving high stress, conflict, irregular schedules, fast pace, public interaction, or safety-sensitive duties.
Difficult jobs may include:
- customer service
- call center work
- sales
- healthcare
- emergency response
- law enforcement
- security
- teaching
- management
- legal or administrative work with strict deadlines
- transportation or driving
- machinery operation
- high-pressure production work
- shift work
- overnight work
- jobs with frequent conflict
- jobs with strict quotas
The exact limitations depend on the person’s symptoms, treatment response, mood stability, stress tolerance, and medication side effects.
What Jobs Might Be Easier With Bipolar Disorder?
Some people with stable symptoms may do better in jobs that are:
- predictable
- low stress
- structured
- not fast-paced
- not public-facing
- limited in conflict
- flexible with appointments
- consistent in schedule
- supportive of sleep stability
- compatible with written instructions
- lower in multitasking demands
However, even easier jobs may be unrealistic if bipolar disorder causes severe mood episodes, hospitalizations, excessive absences, off-task time, poor stress tolerance, or medication side effects.
Bipolar Disorder Medications and Work Limitations
Medication history can help show ongoing treatment, but taking medication alone does not prove disability.
Common medications used in bipolar disorder may include:
- mood stabilizers
- antipsychotic medications
- antidepressants in selected cases
- anti-anxiety medications
- sleep medications
Examples may include:
- Lamictal
- Lithium
- Depakote
- Seroquel
- Abilify
- Zyprexa
- Risperdal
- Latuda
- Vraylar
- antidepressants when prescribed
- benzodiazepines when prescribed
The key issue is whether symptoms remain work-limiting despite treatment or whether medication side effects create additional limitations.
Medication Side Effects and Bipolar Disorder Work Problems
Medication side effects may affect work if they are documented and interfere with functioning.
Possible side effects may include:
- sedation
- morning grogginess
- fatigue
- dizziness
- brain fog
- slowed thinking
- tremors
- weight gain
- nausea
- restlessness
- sleep disruption
- emotional blunting
- reduced concentration
- reduced alertness
- coordination problems
Medication side effects may affect work by causing:
- reduced pace
- off-task time
- missed work
- inability to drive safely
- difficulty concentrating
- difficulty completing tasks
- safety concerns
- inability to work early morning shifts
- need for medication adjustments
Social Security may consider side effects when they affect attendance, productivity, safety, or reliability.
Bipolar Disorder and Hospitalizations
RFC is used to determine whether a person can return to past work.
ALS may prevent past work involving:
- hand use
- walking
- standing
- lifting
- speech
- phone communication
- driving
- safety-sensitive tasks
- independent decision-making
- fast pace
- public interaction
- physical labor
- computer use
- equipment operation
Even if a person could perform the job before diagnosis, progressive decline may make continued work unsafe or impossible.
Bipolar Disorder and Residual Functional Capacity
Residual Functional Capacity, or RFC, is Social Security’s assessment of what a person can still do despite medical limitations.
For bipolar disorder, RFC limitations may involve:
- simple routine tasks
- no fast-paced production work
- no strict quotas
- low-stress work
- predictable duties
- limited workplace changes
- limited decision-making
- limited public interaction
- limited coworker interaction
- limited supervisor interaction
- no safety-sensitive work during unstable symptoms
- reduced pace
- off-task time
- absences from mood episodes or treatment
- inability to complete a full workday
- inability to sustain full-time work
A strong bipolar disability claim explains how symptoms translate into work restrictions.
For example:
- Depressive episodes may cause absences and low productivity.
- Mania may cause poor judgment and conflict.
- Mixed episodes may cause agitation and emotional instability.
- Insomnia may cause fatigue and concentration problems.
- Medication side effects may cause sedation or slowed thinking.
- Stress intolerance may prevent competitive work.
- Hospitalizations may show severe instability.
Relevant Social Security Blue Book Listings for Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder may be evaluated under Social Security’s mental disorder listings, including the listing for depressive, bipolar, and related disorders.
Some people may qualify by meeting or equaling a listing. Others may qualify through RFC if bipolar disorder prevents past work and other work.
A strong claim may need evidence showing limitations in areas such as:
- understanding, remembering, or applying information
- interacting with others
- concentrating, persisting, or maintaining pace
- adapting or managing oneself
Even if the listing is not met, these same functional problems may support RFC restrictions.
Medical Evidence That Helps Prove Bipolar Disorder Work Limitations
Strong medical evidence is important because Social Security needs more than a diagnosis.
Helpful evidence may include:
- psychiatry records
- therapy notes
- primary care records
- medication history
- records of medication side effects
- mental status exams
- psychological evaluations
- hospitalization records
- crisis treatment records
- intensive outpatient records
- partial hospitalization records
- records of manic or depressive episodes
- records of missed appointments due to symptoms
- failed work attempts
- employer statements
- family or caregiver statements
- provider statements about work limitations
The strongest records connect bipolar symptoms to specific work problems.
Mental Status Exam Findings That May Matter
Mental status exams can help document bipolar-related functional problems.
Relevant findings may include:
- depressed mood
- elevated mood
- irritable mood
- pressured speech
- racing thoughts
- tangential thinking
- poor concentration
- poor memory
- poor judgment
- poor insight
- agitation
- slowed thinking
- tearfulness
- psychotic symptoms if present
- suicidal ideation
- impulsivity
- sleep disturbance
Repeated findings over time may help show persistence and severity.
Evidence of Mood Episodes and Work Problems
Helpful evidence may include:
- documented depressive episodes
- documented manic or hypomanic episodes
- medication changes
- sleep problems
- therapy notes
- psychiatry notes
- hospitalizations
- crisis treatment
- missed workdays
- failed work attempts
- disciplinary records
- performance reviews
- employer statements
- family observations
- symptom logs
A vague statement such as “I have bipolar disorder” is less helpful than records explaining how bipolar symptoms affect attendance, pace, stress tolerance, judgment, and social interaction.
Doctor or Therapist Statements for Bipolar Disorder Work Limitations
A treating provider’s statement may help explain how bipolar disorder affects work.
A useful statement may address:
- frequency of mood episodes
- severity of depressive episodes
- severity of manic or hypomanic episodes
- sleep instability
- concentration problems
- stress tolerance
- social interaction
- ability to accept supervision
- ability to maintain pace
- ability to complete tasks
- likely absences
- off-task time
- medication side effects
- hospitalizations or crisis care
- whether symptoms persist despite treatment
- expected duration of limitations
The most helpful opinions are specific, consistent with treatment records, and tied to work-related functions.
Tracking Bipolar Disorder Symptoms for a Disability Claim
A symptom log may help document how bipolar disorder affects daily life. A useful log may include:
- mood changes
- sleep hours
- depressive symptoms
- manic or hypomanic symptoms
- panic symptoms
- irritability
- racing thoughts
- concentration problems
- medication side effects
- missed work or activities
- therapy or psychiatry appointments
- medication changes
- conflicts or social problems
- hospitalizations or crisis treatment
- days unable to leave home
- failed work attempts
- recovery time after episodes
A symptom log is not a substitute for medical evidence, but it may help support treatment records and testimony.
Signs Bipolar Disorder May Prevent Full-Time Work
Bipolar disorder may support disability eligibility when it causes:
- frequent depressive episodes
- manic episodes
- mixed episodes
- severe mood swings
- poor concentration
- reduced pace
- excessive absences
- off-task time
- hospitalizations
- crisis treatment
- severe sleep disruption
- inability to handle stress
- conflict with coworkers or supervisors
- medication side effects
- failed work attempts
- inability to complete a full workday
- inability to sustain full-time employment
When these limitations are medically documented and persistent, the claim may be stronger.
Common Mistakes in Bipolar Disorder Disability Claims
Bipolar disorder claims can be difficult when records do not clearly explain functional limitations.
Common mistakes include:
- relying only on the diagnosis
- failing to document mood episode frequency
- failing to document absences
- failing to document off-task time
- not reporting medication side effects
- minimizing symptoms during appointments
- failing to explain failed work attempts
- ignoring sleep disruption
- ignoring manic or hypomanic symptoms
- focusing only on depression
- failing to gather hospitalization or crisis records
- failing to explain why simple work is not sustainable
- no provider statement about work limitations
A strong claim should explain how bipolar disorder affects work activity over time.
When to Speak With a Social Security Disability Lawyer
Bipolar disorder disability claims can be challenging because symptoms may fluctuate, stable periods may be misunderstood, and Social Security may assume the person can perform simple work.
Many people seek legal help when:
- their disability claim has been denied
- bipolar disorder prevents full-time work
- mood episodes cause absences
- mania or hypomania causes work problems
- depression causes low productivity or missed work
- medication side effects affect functioning
- hospitalizations or crisis treatment have occurred
- they have failed attempts to keep working
- their records do not clearly explain RFC limitations
- they are preparing for a disability hearing
Our social security disability attorneys can help evaluate how bipolar disorder affects residual functional capacity and what evidence may be needed.
FAQs: Can I Work With Bipolar Disorder?
Can I work with bipolar disorder?
Some people can work with bipolar disorder if symptoms are stable, treatment is effective, and job demands are manageable. Others cannot sustain full-time work because of mood episodes, depression, mania, sleep problems, medication side effects, absences, or poor stress tolerance.
Does bipolar disorder automatically qualify for Social Security Disability?
No. Bipolar disorder does not automatically qualify someone for Social Security Disability. Social Security evaluates severity, treatment history, medical evidence, symptoms, and work-related limitations.
What bipolar symptoms make working difficult?
Bipolar symptoms that may affect work include depressive episodes, manic episodes, hypomania, mixed episodes, mood swings, irritability, poor concentration, racing thoughts, sleep disruption, impulsive behavior, social conflict, and medication side effects.
Can bipolar disorder prevent sedentary work?
Yes. Sedentary work still requires attendance, concentration, pace, social interaction, stress tolerance, judgment, and completion of full workdays. Bipolar disorder may prevent sedentary work if symptoms interfere with those requirements.
Can bipolar disorder cause attendance problems?
Yes. Bipolar disorder may cause absences due to depressive episodes, manic episodes, mixed episodes, insomnia, medication side effects, hospitalizations, therapy appointments, crisis treatment, or inability to leave home during severe symptoms.
Can medication side effects support a bipolar disability claim?
Yes. Medication side effects may support a disability claim if they are documented and affect work. Sedation, fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, slowed thinking, tremors, or reduced alertness may affect pace, safety, attendance, and productivity.
What evidence helps prove bipolar disorder work limitations?
Helpful evidence may include psychiatry records, therapy notes, mental status exams, medication history, side effect documentation, hospitalization records, crisis treatment records, failed work attempts, employer statements, family statements, and provider opinions about work limitations.
Can I get disability if I have good days with bipolar disorder?
Yes, it is possible. Social Security should evaluate whether you can sustain work over time. Having good days does not necessarily mean you can maintain reliable full-time employment if mood episodes, absences, off-task time, or instability remain severe.
What should I do if bipolar disorder prevents me from working?
You may want to speak with a Social Security Disability attorney to evaluate whether your bipolar symptoms, treatment history, medical evidence, RFC limitations, and work history may support a disability claim.
