What you have to prove
Meet listing via: (1) involvement of two or more organs with one at moderate severity AND two constitutional symptoms; OR (2) repeated manifestations with marked limitation in daily activities, social functioning, or completing tasks.
Medical evidence SSA expects
Rheumatologist records, ANA panel, anti-RNP (MCTD), and organ-specific testing.
Common misconceptions
This is a catch-all category. Cases strongest when documenting clear organ-system involvement that fits patterns from other 14.xx listings but doesn't fully meet any single one.
Didn't meet the listing? You can still qualify via a Medical-Vocational
Allowance — SSA's determination that your residual functional capacity, combined with
your age, education, and work history, leaves no jobs you can do. See our
appeals guide for what to do after an initial denial.
