PART 220_DETERMINING DISABILITY--Table of Contents
 
 Subpart E_Disability Determinations Governed by the Regulations of the 
                     Social Security Administration
 
Sec. 220.35  Introduction.


    In addition to its authority to decide whether a claimant is 
disabled under the Railroad Retirement Act, the Board has authority in 
certain instances to decide whether a claimant is disabled as that term 
is defined in the Social Security Act. In making these decisions the 
Board must apply the regulations of the Social Security Administration 
in the same manner as does the Secretary of Health and Human Services in 
making disability decisions under the Social Security Act. Regulations 
of the Social Security Administration concerning disability are found at 
part 404, subpart P of this title.
