Functional Capacity Evaluations For Disability

A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a tool used to measure your physical abilities. In some cases, it can provide strong, objective evidence that supports a disability claim. In others, it may be used by an insurance company to argue that a claimant can return to work.

Whether an FCE helps or hurts your claim depends on how it is performed, how the results are interpreted, and how well it reflects your ability to function over time.

Understanding how these evaluations work, and how they are used in disability claims, can help you approach the process more carefully.
