Bonzai Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Maybe, maybe not - it depends on how the Medical-Vocational Guidelines are used in your claim. 55 years old is the lower limit for "Advanced Age". A good read on this is: http://www.jamesdisabilitylaw.com/borderline-age-legal.htm I hope this helps clarify the issue of borderline age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
