Question juridique clé
Whether the IV office correctly refused to enter into the new application for disability benefits because no credible worsening was shown.
Solution extraite
Yes. The submitted medical certificates were too sparse and unsubstantiated to make a relevant deterioration of health plausible.
Motifs extraits
Under the rules on new claims after a prior final refusal, only a plausible change in circumstances can trigger a merits review. The two brief medical certificates did not substantiate a significant worsening, and later reports could not be considered beyond the date of the objection decision.
