Set the MIE diary to mature up to age 59 1/2 for individuals whose case facts indicate
that remission or recovery is almost certain (e.g., the individual is currently in
remission; recent or scheduled surgery will resolve the impairment; current significant,
sustained, and progressive improvement will lead to full recovery). Examples include
certain cases involving:
-
•
fractures, sprains, or dislocations
-
-
•
title XVI statutory blindness when the individual is expected to no longer be statutorily
blind (set the MIE diary to mature up to age 64 1/2 in these cases). CDRs are necessary
in these cases to determine if these individuals continue to be eligible for special
blindness benefits.
