Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the IV office had to enter into the new application
Decisione estratta
The insured did not credibly show a legally relevant deterioration of health compared with the 2013 denial.
Motivazione estratta
Under the rules on new applications, the claimant had to make a relevant change of circumstances plausible. The submitted reports were insufficient: the GP was not a psychiatrist, and the psychiatric report was only a tentative diagnosis with reservations, not a substantiated assessment. Later medical reports could not be considered because the court reviews the case based on the file as it stood when the non-entry decision was issued.
