In a situation where the PC requests a reopening, but after a review of the new evidence,
the adjudicator who made the final determination disagrees, the DDS adjudicator performs
the following actions:
-
•
document the folder to show why the reconsidered determination should not be reopened,
-
•
prepare an SSA-408 to transfer the case to the DHU, and
-
•
annotate the SSA-408 to show why the folder is being forwarded,
NOTE: In cases described above in DI 29005.040B in this section, it will not be necessary for the DDS to prepare the form SSA-887 (Summary of Evidence). If needed, the DHU prepares the Summary of Evidence.
