The SSA will find an individual disabled if he or she meets the five step Social Security disability evaluation process. However, the rules for being considered blind by SSA are somewhat different from the regular five step process. For SSA to find someone blind, that person would have to meet the medical definition of blindness, durational requirement, be insured, and to not have obtained their loss of vision through certain felony related impairments.

Residual Functional Capacity and Your Disability Claim
In order to be adjudicated as disabled before a Social Security Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), an attorney or claimants representative must follow and complete what is called the five step Social Security disability evaluation process. While each of the five steps must be proven to be adjudicated as disabled, proving the fourth step is often the most difficult. The process of proving whether a claimant can do previous work is determined by an individual's Residual Functional Capacity (RFC).
