The second section is a guide to the Listing of Impairments which details the medical criteria applicants must meet to receive disability. Vignettes from actual cases act serve as concrete examples of the disability severity required to grant relief to a claimant and each concludes with an assessment of the case and the rationale of the judges decision.Based on Dr. Todorov's professional experience as a medical expert, it is his contention that better mining of medical records will nearly double the approval rate of disability applications.
