Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the IV office's order for a stationary expert examination was an appealable decision and could be upheld
Decisione estratta
The order should not have been treated as a decision on the merits; the insured person's objection did not concern statutory recusal grounds, so the order had to be annulled and the matter sent back to the IV office.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 44 ATSG, objections based on expert bias must be handled as an independently appealable interim decision only when substantiated statutory grounds are raised. The complaint here challenged only the inpatient format of the examination, not the expert's impartiality.
