At least two or three of the four Paragraph B criteria (see Table 7.1) must be met for claimants to demonstrate functional restrictions. Paragraph B impairments are rated on a severity scale containing five levels of limitation: none, mild, moderate, marked, or severe. To satisfy the Paragraph B criteria, the impairment must be at least “marked” or greater in two or more of the four areas of functional limitation. An extreme rating on any of the first three criteria will satisfy the listings requirements, as will a rating of “four or more episodes of decompensation” for criterion four. If a claimant satisfies the “B criteria” severity requirements, then they are judged not to be capable of SGA.Table 7.1Paragraph B—Functional Impairment Criteria
