[Guest guest]

To all who receive SSDI due to CMT, or for those with cases pending,

I found this while researching something else for a client, just

thought I'd post this for you all.

CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH DISEASE

1022. Magistrate Judge's remand with instructions for payment because

the medical evidence establishes that the plaintiff's Charcot-Marie-

Tooth disease meets the Listings for peripheral neuropathy. In the

alternative, the court found that the Commissioner did not meet her

burden in showing that the plaintiff could perform sedentary work and

that there were jobs available in the national economy that the

plaintiff could perform. Silver v. Chater, Civil No. 96-69-P-C (D.Me,

Jan. 13, 1997)
