another impairment(s), medically equals
a listing.25
Epilepsy (listing 11.02) is the most
closely analogous listed impairment for
an MDI of a primary headache disorder.
While uncommon, a person with a
primary headache disorder may exhibit
equivalent signs and limitations to those
detailed in listing 11.02 (paragraph B or
D for dyscognitive seizures), and we
may find that his or her MDI(s)
medically equals the listing.
Paragraph B of listing 11.02 requires
dyscognitive seizures occurring at least
once a week for at least 3 consecutive
months despite adherence to prescribed
treatment. To evaluate whether a
primary headache disorder is equal in
severity and duration to the criteria in
11.02B, we consider: A detailed
description from an AMS of a typical
headache event, including all associated
phenomena (for example, premonitory
symptoms, aura, duration, intensity, and
accompanying symptoms); the
frequency of headache events;
adherence to prescribed treatment; side
effects of treatment (for example, many
medications used for treating a primary
headache disorder can produce
drowsiness, confusion, or inattention);
and limitations in functioning that may
be associated with the primary
headache disorder or effects of its
treatment, such as interference with
activity during the day (for example, the
need for a darkened and quiet room,
having to lie down without moving, a
sleep disturbance that affects daytime
activities, or other related needs and
limitations).
Paragraph D of listing 11.02 requires
dyscognitive seizures occurring at least
once every 2 weeks for at least 3
consecutive months despite adherence
to prescribed treatment, and marked
limitation in one area of functioning. To
evaluate whether a primary headache
disorder is equal in severity and
duration to the criteria in 11.02D, we
consider the same factors we consider
for 11.02B and we also consider
whether the overall effects of the
primary headache disorder on
functioning results in marked limitation
in: Physical functioning; understanding,
remembering, or applying information;
interacting with others; concentrating,
persisting, or maintaining pace; or
adapting or managing oneself.

9. How do we consider an MDI of a
primary headache disorder in assessing
a person’s residual functional capacity?
If a person’s primary headache
disorder, alone or in combination with
another impairment(s), does not
medically equal a listing at step three of
the sequential evaluation process, we
assess the person’s residual functional
capacity (RFC). We must consider and
discuss the limiting effects of all
impairments and any related symptoms
when assessing a person’s RFC.26 The
RFC is the most a person can do despite
his or her limitation(s).
We consider the extent to which the
person’s impairment-related symptoms
are consistent with the evidence in the
record. For example, symptoms of a
primary headache disorder, such as
photophobia, may cause a person to
have difficulty sustaining attention and
concentration. Consistency and
supportability between reported
symptoms and objective medical
evidence is key in assessing the RFC.
