Abstract: SSA uses Forms HA-1151 and HA-1152 to collect data that is required to determine the residual functional capacity (RFC) of individuals who are appealing denied claims for benefits based on disability. The RFC of an individual must be determined in cases where SSA cannot make a determination on a claim for benefits based on current work activity or on medical facts alone. The respondents are medical sources paid by SSA to provide reports based either on existing medical evidence or on consultative examinations conducted for the purposes of the report.
