SSA cannot combine two or more unrelated severe impairments to
meet the 12-month duration test. If you have a severe impairment(s)
and then develop another unrelated severe impairment(s) but
neither one is expected to last for 12 months, we cannot find you
disabled, even though the two impairments in combination last for
12 months.

the combined effect of your impairments can be expected to
continue to be severe for 12 months. If one or more of your
impairments improves or is expected to improve within 12 months,
so that the combined effect of your remaining impairments is no
, longer severe, SSA will find that you do not meet the 12-month
duration test.

impairments are of a sufficient medical severity that such
impairment or impairments could be the basis of eligibility under
the law, we will consider the combined effect of all of your
impairments without regard to whether any such impairment, if
considered separately, would be of sufficient severity. If we do find a
medically severe combination of impairments, we will consider the

determination process. If we do not find that you have a medically
severe combination of impairments, we will determine that you are
