For new claims filed while there is a pending appeal in file, consider if SSR
11-1p applies. If a new subsequent claim is under the same title and same benefit type
as the pending appeal, follow DI 51051.005.
If SSR
11-1p does not apply, e.g., the new subsequent claim is a different title or different
benefit type from the pending appeal, follow DI SF11005.085B to include OHO queries with every new claim filing before sending the case to the
DDS or OHO.
For prior paper folders, the appeal office should have requested the folder, and there
is no need to request the folder for cases with pending appeals.
