   See DI 22510.045
   
   The attached bilingual regional form may be used by the district/branch offices on
      an optional basis in the following situations:
   
   
   
      - 
         
            1.  
               During the initial interview. 
 
 
- 
         
            2.  
               During a work activity only continuing disability review when ODO/TAS has determined
                  that a medical review is required by the DDS after the DO/BO completes its actions.
                
 
 
- 
         
            3.  
               During the development of a CDR when the beneficiary has returned to work and there
                  is a medical re-examination diary date. (These cases generally require a DDS medical
                  review.)
                
 
 
- 
         
            4.  
               In cases where the claimant contacts the DO/BO for assistance with a DDS mailed form
                  or where the DDS has asked the DO/BO to assist the claimant in scheduling a CE.
                
 
 
If the file does not contain the form and it is not documented that the claimant refused
      to sign it, the DDS should assume that the claimant was not asked to sign it.
   
   
   The claimant's refusal to sign the statement cannot be used to eliminate any of the
      established procedural steps in the CE process as required by the instructions to
      the DDS's.

   UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS STATEMENT IS FOR THE USE OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION,

   It has been explained to me that my application(s) for disability benefits, both Social
      Security and/or Supplemental Security Income, will be decided by an agency of the
      State government on behalf of Social Security. I understand that I may be requested
      to go for a medical examination(s) at Social Security's expense if the records from
      my own doctor and/or hospital do not contain enough information to make a medical
      decision on my application(s). I agree to go to this medical examination if required
      for a determination. If I am unable to attend such examination, I will immediately
      telephone the State Agency. I also understand that if travel is necessary, I can request
      reimbursement from the State Agency.
   
   
   If I fail to notify the State Agency that I cannot attend an examination, I understand
      my application(s) for disability benefits will have to be determined based on the
      information in my file and could result in a denial.

   CHECK IF APPLICABLE ----- I cannot afford to pay out-of-town travel.
