Unlisted conditions
You can be found disabled if your impairment is not listed in the Blue Book. The main criteria for awarding disability benefits is whether a medical condition has made you incapable of performing the kind of work you have done in the past, or any other work to which you may be expected to adapt. Examiners evaluate whether there is residual functional ability that would allow someone to be gainfully employed, based upon the age, education, and work history of the applicant.
