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.
