Disability Evaluation Under Social Security
Blue Book 2003
This edition of Disability Evaluation Under Social Security, (also known as the Blue Book), has been specially prepared to provide physicians and other health professionals with an understanding of the disability programs administered by the Social Security Administration. It explains how each program works, and the kinds of information a health professional can furnish to help ensure sound and prompt decisions on disability claims.
The Adult and Childhood Listings of Impairments are included in this publication. These listings are just part of how the social security administration decides if someone is disabled. The administration also considers past work experience, severity of medical conditions, age, education, and work skills.
Revised Listings
This electronic version replaces the January 2001 and prior editions of Disability Evaluation Under Social Security. It contains the revised Musculoskeletal System listings and related criteria that became effective February 19, 2002, as well as a number of technical revisions to the listings that became effective on May 24, 2002.
