Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance; Determining Disability and Blindness; Revision to Medical-Vocational Guidelines

23 Sep 1997

We propose to clarify Sec. 201.00(h) of the medical-vocational guidelines in appendix 2 of subpart P of regulations part 404. This section provides guidance for evaluating disability in individuals under age 50 who have a severe impairment(s) that does not meet or equal in severity the criteria of any listed impairment in appendix 1 of subpart P, but who have a residual functional capacity for no more than the full range of sedentary work and cannot do any past relevant work. The proposed revisions are intended only to clarify the current rules; they are not intended to change any policies.
