An eForm cannot be altered or modified once it has been uploaded into the CEF. If,
due to additional evidence being received, or other reason, a change is needed to
a medical assessment form already uploaded to the CEF (but before the case is closed
by the DDS), the DDS may use an SSA-416, or similar eForm to record the change in
the original medical assessment. After completing and uploading the SSA-416, or similar
eForm, add a note to both documents in the “Case Documents” section of eView to cross
refer each document to the other as follows:
-
•
For the Medical Assessment form - ‘See SSA-416 (or similar eForm) dated xx/xx/xx.’
-
•
For the SSA-416 (or similar eForm) – “Revises SSA-4734 (or appropriate medical assessment
form) dated xx/xx/xx.”
NOTE: The SSA-416, or similar eForm can not be used to make a change to the SSA-538, a new SSA-538 must be created to reference
the initial SSA-538. See DI 25230.001B.4. for more information SSA-538.
