The White House on Tuesday rebutted reports that the Trump administration is preparing a plan that would make it more difficult for older people to qualify for Social Security disability payments.

The Washington Post on Monday, citing people it said were familiar with the plans, said the administration is weighing a proposal that would remove age as a factor to determine an individual’s capacity to work.
