Key legal question
Whether the renewed disability insurance application of 28 May 2008 was admissible based on a plausible change in health condition.
Extracted holding
The applicant did not credibly show a relevant worsening of health. The IV office was entitled not to enter into the renewed application.
Extracted reasoning
The MRI showed a disc herniation but no significant nerve-root compression, and the medical reports available by the decisive date did not provide substantiated evidence of a material deterioration. Later reports could not change the lawfulness of the non-entry decision.
