Jurisdiction for CDR determinations is governed by the residence of the primary beneficiary
using the initial claims guidelines. (See DI 20101.015 and DI 43501.001 and DI 43505.001 for foreign claims.) The following types of CDR cases will be forwarded to an examiner
for review and appropriate action:
-
•
Scheduled medical improvement expected, medical improvement possible, and medical
improvement not expected cases.
-
-
•
Voluntary or vocational rehabilitation report of return to work.
-
•
Anonymous report of work activity.
-
•
Report of medical improvement.
-
See DI 28001.001 for policy information and DI 43510.080 for development instructions for foreign claims. Plans are underway to incorporate
CDR cases into the electronic disability process, starting with medical improvement
expected (MIE) cases.
