Key legal question
Whether the IV office correctly refused to enter into the new disability-benefits application of 22 March 2018 for lack of a credibly shown change in health status.
Extracted holding
Yes. No medical documents or other substantiated evidence showed a potentially relevant deterioration between 4 March 2013 and 23 May 2018.
Extracted reasoning
In a new-application procedure, the insured person must make a relevant factual change plausible. The application and the later objection contained only unsubstantiated assertions; documents submitted after the challenged decision could not be considered.
