The disability examiner (DE) must often consider a Title XVI child's functioning in
assessing whether:
-
•
There has been medical improvement (MI).
-
•
The child's impairment(s) still meets or equals the severity of the listing it met
or equaled at the comparison point decision (CPD).
-
•
The child is currently disabled.
Apply the initial claim instructions for developing functional information to continuing
disability review (CDR) cases.
