How This Works: The SSA evaluates disability using a “Blue Book” with 14 categories covering hundreds of conditions. Type any medical term, diagnosis, ICD code, or symptom below and see which category applies — with plain-English explanations your client can understand. Use this to guide your Medical Summary Report and case documentation.

⚠️ Important Notice: This tool is a reference guide for SOAR-trained case managers — not a medical determination or legal advice. SSA evaluates every case individually. A matching category identifies the relevant evaluation framework, not a guaranteed outcome. When in doubt, contact your SOAR TA Center representative or Ask SOAR.
