Disability Evaluation under Social Security

This new edition has been specially prepared to provide physicians & other health professionals with an understanding of the disability programs administered by the Social Security Admin. It explains how each program works, & the kinds of information a health professional can furnish to help ensure sound & prompt decisions on disability claims. This edition includes changes in how SSA determines disability for children under age 18 who apply for disability benefits under Title XVI (Supplemental Security Income) of the Social Security Act. These changes are the result of the Personal Responsibility & Work Opportunity Recon. Act of 1996.
