Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the reconsideration request had to be examined on the merits because of new significant facts or evidence
Decisione estratta
No. The applicant did not present any new significant facts or evidence and no materially changed circumstances justified reopening the final 2015 refusal.
Motivazione estratta
The son's illness and the spouses' retirement age were already known in the earlier proceedings. The medical certificates did not show that the applicant was seriously ill or in new treatment, and no worsening of her psychological condition was substantiated.
