SSDI Congenital Disorder Listings: Complete Category 10 Guide
TL;DR: Category 10 covers non-mosaic Down syndrome (10.06), which is the only condition in this category with a specific listing. Non-mosaic Down syndrome is considered automatically disabling with confirmation through karyotype analysis. This is one of the simplest listings to meet because diagnosis alone qualifies. It is also a Compassionate Allowance condition.
This guide covers the specific Blue Book listings for this body system category. Each listing has precise medical criteria that must be fully documented to qualify at Step 3 of the SSA's evaluation.
How to Use This Guide
Review the listing most relevant to your condition. Check whether your medical records document the specific findings required. If you're missing evidence, work with your treating physician to get the necessary tests and documentation.
If You Don't Meet a Listing
Not meeting a listing doesn't end your claim. Most SSDI approvals happen at Steps 4-5 through RFC analysis. The listing criteria still inform what the SSA considers important for your condition.
