We will find that you are not disabled if the medical and other evidence in your case establishes that your impairment(s) is not severe. Your impairment(s) is not severe if it does not significantly limit your physical or mental ability to do basic work activities, such as: sitting, standing, walking, lifting, carrying, handling, reaching, pushing, pulling, climbing, stooping, crouching, seeing, hearing, speaking; understanding, carrying out, and remembering simple instructions; using judgment; responding appropriately to supervision, co-workers, and usual work situations; and dealing with changes in a routine work setting.
We will find that a child is not disabled under the SSI rules if the medical and other evidence in the child's case establishes that his or her impairment(s) is not severe. The child's impairment(s) is not severe if it is only a slight abnormality or a combination of slight abnormalities that causes no more than minimal limitations.
