When the results of any of these tests are part of the existing evidence in your case record, we will evaluate the test results and all other relevant evidence. We will make every reasonable effort to obtain the results of your laboratory and imaging evidence. We consider non-medical evidence such as statements you or others make about your impairments, your restrictions, your daily activities, or your efforts to work. In addition, the medical evidence may include descriptions of any prescribed treatment and your response to it. The imaging must be consistent with the prevailing state of medical knowledge and clinical practice as the proper technique to support the evaluation of the disorder. Imaging refers to medical imaging techniques, such as x-ray, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalography (EEG). Medical evidence should include your medical history, examination findings, relevant laboratory tests, and the results of imaging. We need both medical and non-medical evidence (signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings) to assess the effects of your neurological disorder.What evidence do we need to document your neurological disorder? We will evaluate your mental impairment under the mental disorders body system, 12.00.ī. If your neurological disorder results in only mental impairment or if you have a co-occurring mental condition that is not caused by your neurological disorder (for example, dementia), We evaluate the limitations resulting from the impact of the neurological disease process itself. We evaluate your limitations using the functional criteria under these listings (see 11.00G). Such as Huntington’s disease, which may limit executive functioning (e.g., regulating attention, planning, inhibiting responses, decision-making), For example, if you have a neurological disorder that causes mental limitations, We evaluate neurological disorders that may manifest in a combination of limitations in physical and mental functioning. We evaluate epilepsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, coma or persistent vegetative state (PVS), and neurological disorders that cause disorganization of motor function, bulbar and neuromuscular dysfunction,Ĭommunication impairment, or a combination of limitations in physical and mental functioning such as early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Which neurological disorders do we evaluate under these listings? Neurodegenerative disorders of the central nervous system, such as Huntington’s disease, Friedreich’s ataxia, and spinocerebellar degenerationĪ. Category of Impairments, Neurological Disorders
