I am 52 years old and I am in the process of applying for SSI. I am currently on State Disability due to chronic knee pain, morbid obesity and hypertention. I have constant knee pain and have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis.I am on medication for pain, high blood pressure, asprin therapy. I am waiting for approval for physical therapy, but I did have an evaluation done and they said I may need surgery. I also have carpal tunnel syndrome. I am concerned because I see alot of responses say that if you have clerical skills you may be denied even if you are over 50. I have problems standing, sitting, bending and lifting. Also stiffness and numbing of my right hand. My income is state disability and I have been on it since April and have been approved until the end of the year. At which time I will be evaluated again. Now,for my question,is my clerical skills going to make it more difficult for me to obtain benefits?
