DI 25210.035 The Impact Of Chronic Illness And Limitations That Interfere With Your Activities
Over Time – Policy (Section 416.924a(b)(8))
If you have a chronic impairment(s) that is characterized by episodes of exacerbation
(worsening) and remission (improvement), we will consider the frequency and severity
of your episodes of exacerbation as factors that may be limiting your functioning.
Your level of functioning may vary considerably over time. Proper evaluation of your
ability to function in any domain requires us to take into account any variations
in your level of functioning to determine the impact of your chronic illness on your
ability to function over time. If you require frequent treatment, we will consider
it as explained in DI 25210.040B.
