Key legal question
Whether the new AI application made a plausible deterioration of health that could justify entering into the claim
Extracted holding
No. The applicant did not submit medical elements showing a relevant change in invalidity since the last final assessment.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 87(3)-(4) RAI, a new request is examined only if a change of circumstances is rendered plausible. The medical reports filed with the office did not show new functional limitations or a worsened capacity for work beyond what had already been assessed in 2008.
