In the rare situation when the claimant’s impairment(s) does not meet or medically
equal a listing, but the evidence clearly indicates the claimant is unable to sustain
any work-related activity, assess that he or she is unable to sustain any work for this
period.
Provide a rationale in the narrative portion of the RFC that meets the requirements
listed in DI 24510.057B.3 in this section. The narrative must clearly explain how the evidence supports the
conclusion that the claimant is physically incapacitated and unable to do any work-related
activity (for example, in a medically-induced coma, in hospice care, or otherwise
requiring constant medical attention).
NOTE: With the RFC for inability to sustain any work-related activity, the claimant is
unable to perform PRW or do other work that exists in the national economy.
