DI 43510.030 Philippine Cases - Medical Development
All requests for additional evidence of disability in Philippine cases should be made
by means of an SSA-5526-U3 using interim code 22 (a copy of our agreement with the
Foreign Service Post in Manila, Philippines is maintained in INTPSC.) These forms
should be addressed to the Foreign Service Post in Manila, Philippines. The Foreign
Service Post in Manila, Philippines will perform all necessary development, including
the purchase of consultative examinations.
Inasmuch as the folders are not released with the development request, the SSA-5526-U3
should contain clear and concise language to permit ready compliance with the request
by the Foreign Service Post in Manila, Philippines.
