20 CFR 416.985 : Employees' Benefits (§ 1.1 To Parts 1011-1099) — (Part 400 To Part 499) — Social Security Administration (Part 400 To Part 499) — Supplemental Security Income For The Aged, Blind, And Disabled (§ 416.101 To § 416.2227) — Determining Disability And Blindness (§ 416.901 To § 416.999D) — Blindness (§ 416.981 To § 416.986) — How we evaluate other visual impairments.

4 Aug 2016

If you are not blind as defined in the law, we will evaluate a visual impairment the same as we evaluate other impairments in determining disability. Although you will not qualify for benefits on the basis of blindness, you may still be eligible for benefits if we find that you are disabled as defined in §§ 416.905 through 416.907.
