The government proposed new rules for Social Security disability examiners to follow in deciding whether a person’s medical condition has improved enough to warrant a benefits cutoff. The new rules bar cutoffs in most cases unless the government has “substantial evidence” that the person’s condition has improved and that he or she is capable of working again. Congress last fall ordered the more liberal rules after an uproar over disability cutoffs.
