Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the IV office was entitled to issue a non-entry decision for failure to cooperate in assessments
Decisione estratta
Yes. The applicant did not take part in reasonable and duly warned assessments, so the office could decide on the file and refuse to enter into the claim.
Motivazione estratta
Medical and vocational assessment is mandatory for disability benefits. The claimant must cooperate in necessary and reasonable examinations. Given repeated missed appointments and abandonment of the BEFAS assessment, the administration could not sufficiently establish the facts.
