Develop for medical evidence to:

1. a. 

   Determine if the report raises a Continuing Disability Review (CDR) issue. If cessation is unlikely, annotate the report “NAN - DI 40505.120” (that is, No Action Necessary – Third Party Reports).

2. b. 

   Determine whether the Office of Disability Operations (ODO) has done a medical CDR in the last 6 months.

3. c. 

   Determine if there is a clear CDR issue. If ODO has not done a CDR in the last 6 months, explain the issue on an SSA-847-U3 Social Security Administration Request for Case Action, or on an SSA-5526-U3 Request for Assistance - Disability, and forward the folder to the FO for CDR development. Do not start a CDR unless a report indicates cessation is very likely, or case was diaried as a Medical Improvement Expected (MIE).

Perform a medical folder review (MFR) to determine whether an individual continues to have a disabling impairment when:

1. a. 

   He or she has completed 7 or more trial work period (TWP) months;

2. b. 

   He or she has entered, or will enter, an extended period of eligibility (EPE) or extended Medicare eligibility period; or

3. c. 

   He or she files for premium health insurance (HI) for the working disabled.
