Sec.  229.85  Substantial gainful activity by blind employee or child.



    A blind employee or child who is 55 years old or older is entitled 

to an O/M benefit based on disability while he or she is working in 

substantial gainful activity that does not require skills or ability 

used in his or her previous work. However, the DIB O/M or child's O/M 

benefit is not payable for any month in which the employee or child 

works in any type of substantial gainful activity which requires skills 

or abilities comparable to those of any gainful activity in which he or 

she has previously engaged with some regularity and over a substantial 

period of time.
