Action On Two Sets Of Listings Changes

     The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which is part of the White House, has finished work on two proposals for changes in Social Security's Listing of Impairments, used in determining disability. One set of changes for "Digestive Disorders, Cardiovascular Disorders, and Skin Disorder" was cleared by OMB. Expect to see it published in the Federal Register in the near future for public comments. Another, just for Cardiovascular Disorders, was withdrawn by the Social Security Administration. It could have been withdrawn because it faced opposition at OMB or because the agency changed its mind. There's no way of knowing. There's also no way of knowing at the moment what is or was in either set of proposals.
