Key legal question
Whether the new disability application was admissible under Art. 87 IVV because a relevant worsening of health was credibly shown.
Extracted holding
No. The applicant did not credibly demonstrate a relevant change in his degree of invalidity after the prior final denial.
Extracted reasoning
For a new application shortly after a prior final decision, stricter requirements apply. The medical reports did not show when the alleged dramatic deterioration occurred, and they did not make a relevant worsening between the prior decision and the new refusal plausible. Later hospitalization was outside the scope of the contested decision.
