The medical-vocational profiles set forth in DI
25010.001B, in this section, list combinations of the vocational factors of age, education, and work experience that are so unfavorable that an individual who meets one of them will be deemed to be unable to adjust to other work and therefore will be found disabled at step 5 of the sequential evaluation process.
An individual can only be found disabled based on a medical-vocational profile if we made a finding at step four that they do not have or are unable to perform their past relevant work (PRW). At step five, an adjudicator must consider whether medical-vocational profile applies before using the medical-vocational guidelines in DI 25025.005.
