Title: Failure to Cooperate in Initial Disability Claims (3479P) 
Abstract: These proposed rules would amend our regulations to provide that we may find that, in the absence of contrary evidence, a claimant is not disabled or blind during the initial claims process when the claimant fails or refuses to submit medical and other evidence we need and request, or fails to appear at a consultative examination we arrange. The proposed revisions would ensure consistency among adjudicators at all levels.
