The short answer is – Yes.

Claimants must prove they cannot perform any job they regularly performed in the past 15 years to obtain Social Security disability benefits. When you apply for disability, you will be asked to list your previous work history. If you do not provide very accurate information about your past job and its duties (for instance, claiming that you regularly carried 100-pound boxes on your back when you really only carried 25-pound boxes), an examiner may notice a discrepancy and deny your claim. Additionally, many jobs are not actually one job but a combination of multiple jobs. In Social Security language this is called a composite job. IF you have a composite job but list your duties such that you had a single job, it can be easier for the Social Security Administration to deny your claim.
