Questione giuridica chiave
Must the IV office issue an appealable interim decision on the claimant's objection to the appointed psychiatrist's alleged bias?
Decisione estratta
No. Prior involvement alone did not make the expert biased; the renewed assignment remained open and the objections could be addressed within the evidentiary assessment.
Motivazione estratta
The remand only required clarification of unresolved questions. The court found no objective circumstances showing prejudice. A prior expert may continue when he must explain, supplement, or revise an earlier report, and a bias challenge requires more than dissatisfaction with the report's substance.
