Key legal question
Whether a material change in disability status had been shown since the final 1998 decision.
Extracted holding
The file did not permit a final decision on the merits; the medical record from the reapplication was insufficient and a new interdisciplinary expertise was required.
Extracted reasoning
The Spanish reports were too brief, lacked knowledge of the full medical history, and did not adequately address earlier contradictory opinions. The court held that the lower court could not rely solely on them to exclude a relevant deterioration.
