Federal old-age, survivors, and disability insurance; listing of impairments--mental disorders--SSA. Proposed rules.
These proposed amendments revise the medical evaluation criteria for mental disorders for the disability program in title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act. No substantial revisions have been made to these criteria since 1979. The proposed revisions reflect advances in medical treatment and in methods of evaluating certain mental impairments, and will provide up-to-date medical criteria for use in the evaluation of disability claims based on mental disorders.
