SSA listing text and criteria
Disorders of thrombosis and hemostasis, including hemophilia and thrombocytopenia (see 107.00D ), with complications requiring at least three hospitalizations within a 12-month period and occurring at least 30 days apart. Each hospitalization must last at least 48 hours, which can include hours in a hospital emergency department or comprehensive hemophilia treatment center immediately before the hospitalization (see 107.00D2 ). A. Repeated spontaneous or inappropriate bleeding; or B. Hemarthrosis with joint deformity. -->
This listing has no lettered subsections. The diagnosis itself, supported by the medical evidence described in the body-system overview, is what SSA evaluates.

Where claims under 107.08 usually fail
One failure mode is counting the wrong kind of hospital stay, since each hospitalization must last at least 48 hours, and time in an emergency department can count only when it is immediately before the hospitalization (or includes time at a comprehensive hemophilia treatment center immediately before). Another failure mode is not meeting the timing rule, since the hospitalizations must be at least three total within 12 months and at least 30 days apart from each other. A third failure mode is focusing on diagnosis without the listed complication pattern, since the listing requires complications serious enough to trigger those hospitalizations. A fourth failure mode is missing the bleeding-type functional findings tied to the criteria, since the qualifying complications are repeated spontaneous or inappropriate bleeding, or hemarthrosis with joint deformity.
Medical evidence that strengthens this claim
To document a hematological disorder for 107.08, SSA looks for a laboratory report of a definitive test that establishes the disorder and is signed by a physician, or a signed physician report that confirms the diagnosis based on appropriate laboratory analysis and provides the results. If a laboratory report is not available, a persuasive physician report must describe that the appropriate definitive tests were done (and provide the results) or explain how the diagnosis was established by other diagnostic methods consistent with accepted clinical practice. For the hospitalization requirement, hospital records need to support at least three hospitalizations within 12 months, each at least 48 hours long, with at least 30 days between them, and they should align with the complications described as repeated spontaneous or inappropriate bleeding, or hemarthrosis with joint deformity.
What happens if your records do not meet this listing
For this listing, missing the key hospitalization pattern or the complication description means the claim generally does not qualify at step 3 under 107.08. If the exact 107.08 criteria are not met, SSA typically moves on to the next steps using the person's functional limits (residual functional capacity) and then considers whether those limits allow work. For many people who do not meet a specific listing, approval can still depend on how the impairments affect day-to-day abilities and whether that results in a finding of disability at later steps.
Work activity and the SGA gate for this condition
At the start of an SSDI claim, work activity rules matter, because substantial work activity can block eligibility even when a serious condition is present. For a person with a thrombosis or hemostasis disorder evaluated under 107.08, the listing focuses on complications requiring at least three hospitalizations within 12 months with at least 30 days between stays and at least 48 hours per stay, plus repeated spontaneous or inappropriate bleeding or hemarthrosis with joint deformity; those severity markers often reflect significant functional impact. If disability is approved, benefits eligibility then continues through the trial work period and may continue through the extended period of eligibility, depending on ongoing work activity.
