Key legal question
Whether the claimant credibly showed a legally relevant deterioration justifying a new disability application under Art. 87 IVV.
Extracted holding
Yes. The medical reports provided sufficient indications of a substantial change in health status, so the IV office had to enter into the application.
Extracted reasoning
For reapplications, only credible indications of a relevant change are required, not full proof. The lower court set the threshold too high by treating the matter as if the change had to be definitively established. The new rheumatological reports contained clinical and radiological signs suggesting a hemochromatosis-related arthropathy, which were enough to trigger a full substantive review.
