For a disability determination that is not the Disability Determination Services (DDS)
jurisdiction (e.g., a career railroad case or a case that insured status is not met
at the established onset), the disability examiner (DE) or disability processing specialist
(DPS) may
-
•
either adopt or reject the DDS determination depending on the facts of the case, and
-
•
complete the SSA-831 (Disability Determination and Transmittal) then
-
•
route the case to the field office or claims authorizer/claims technical examiner
(CA/CTE) for final processing.
