Title: How We Collect and Consider Evidence of Disability (3487P) 
Abstract: We propose to modify the requirement to first recontact your medical source(s) when we need to resolve an inconsistency or insufficiency in the evidence he or she provided. Depending on the nature of the inconsistency or insufficiency, there may be other, more appropriate sources from whom we could obtain the information we need. By giving adjudicators more flexibility in determining how best to obtain this information, we will be able to make a determination or decision on your disability claim more quickly and efficiently in certain situations.
