A neurological disorder can be defined as any medical disorder that originates and/or adversely affects the central nervous system of the human body.  Diseases of this category are highly complex and can reduce a claimant's Residual Functional Capacity in a number of important ways.  Keep in mind that you cannot begin to address the restrictive aspects of a neurological disorder until you have acquired a firm diagnosis.  For information about neurological disorders and how they are evaluated by Social Security, see full discussion link.
