Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the new IV application made a credible showing of a relevant worsening of health under Art. 87 IVV.
Decisione estratta
The newly filed medical reports did not make a significant, claim-relevant deterioration of the claimant's health credible; the IV office was entitled not to enter the merits.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the reported chronic pain disorder and later psychiatric assessments largely reflected a different appraisal of an essentially unchanged condition. The omitted mention of the son's death did not undermine the probative value of the prior expertise, and the alleged pathological grief was not a diagnosis established by an internationally recognized classification.
