While this ruling will affect very few folks in the big picture, it is a common sense response to a position that even apart from creating a split in circuits ( 6th vs 3d for example), would lead to ridiculous contortions and inefficiencies. e.g. trying to file a new T. II claim while the CDR is pending at Recon or at the hearing level -- what silliness. Congratulations to the Commissioner for taking a common sense approach to this issue (albiet a tad late in the game)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-54433714898834626342013-02-20T12:24:19.726-05:002013-02-20T12:24:19.726-05:00Actually, Charles, it is incredibly important.

Outside the 6th Circuit, the analysis of a Title II Cessation stopped as of the date of cessation, so in a T2 only case, the current medical condition was irrelevant. Now a person who was properly ceased, but had a later worsening of his condition (either due to worsening of pre-existing conditions or development of new conditions) can be found to be disabled again without having to file a new application.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
