Key legal question
Whether the IV office had to enter the September 2004 new pension application
Extracted holding
The claimant made a plausible showing of a potentially relevant deterioration, so the office should have entered and materially examined the application.
Extracted reasoning
The new orthopedic report described a severe left knee arthrosis that differed from the prior assessment and could not be dismissed without further medical clarification. The submitted records were sufficient to make a relevant change plausible.
