A guide to documenting medical impairments in support of applications for Federal disability benefits (SSI, SSDI) published by the HCH Clinicians’ Network, National Health Care for the Homeless Council. This manual seeks to demystify the process, pointing to use of the Social Security Administration’s Medical Listing of Impairments and providing practical, experience-based advice for medical providers. This updated edition of the 2004 manual focuses in detail on the complex issues involved in documenting impairments that co-occur with substance use disorders.
