Title: Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Hematological Disorders (974P) 
Abstract: Sections 7.00 and 107.00, Hematological Disorders of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of our regulations describe hematological disorders that are considered severe enough to prevent a person from performing any gainful activity, or for a child claiming SSI payments under title XVI, that cause marked and severe functional limitation. We are proposing to revise the criteria in these sections to ensure that the medical evaluation criteria are up-to-date and consistent with the latest advances in medical knowledge and treatment.
