I-2-7-95.Sample - Memorandum to Field Office With Copy of Posthearing Evidence

MEMORANDUM TO FIELD OFFICE WITH COPY OF POSTHEARING EVIDENCE

This case is now pending at the hearing level. Your prompt attention to the request is appreciated. I have attached a copy of a letter notifying the claimant that I have received additional evidence that I propose to include in the record of the case. This case requires special handling and proffer of this evidence in the claimant's local field office.

Please inform the claimant that the additional evidence will be available for examination at your office for a period of 10 days from the date of your letter. Please send me a copy of your letter to the claimant so that I may add it to the record.

Because the case is now within my jurisdiction, personnel in your office should not discuss the evidence with the claimant. However, please record any specific request from the claimant so that I can respond.

If the claimant examines the evidence in your office, please have [him/her] complete Item A of the attached “Examination of Evidence” form. The claimant should then sign and date the form in the appropriate spaces. If there is no response to your 10-day letter, please sign and date Item B.

Upon completion of your action, please return all material to this office in the attached envelope.

Attachments:

• Copy of letter to claimant

• List of additional evidence

• Copy of additional evidence

• Examination of evidence form

• Self-addressed envelope
