Revisions to the Immune System Listings
Social Security issued revisions to the Immune System Listings that take effect June 16, 2008. Listings set forth criteria for various medical conditions, and if a claimant's medical condition matches the listing the claimant is presumed to be disabled, and the claim should be approved. Claims are not denied for failure to meet a listing. The claim may be approved under other rules.
