If the DDS has not completed a determination, the adjudicator will verify the CPD is in the folder, and consider the material in the CPD folder before making the determination. The adjudicator will associate the found CPD folder with the current CDR and forward it as appropriate after making the determination.

If the DDS has completed a determination and the notice has been mailed to the individual, the adjudicator will verify the CPD is in file, and review the CPD folder material. The adjudicator will consider whether to reopen the determination under the rules for reopening in DI 27505.001 Conditions for Reopening a Final Determination or Decision. After the DDS completes all actions, the adjudicator will forward the current folder (which contains the found CPD folder) to the agency component that has jurisdiction of the case.
