What is the proper procedure for a plaintiff to apply for disability benefits when new evidence is not probative of the initial determination?

^3. When new evidence reflects plaintiff's current condition but is not probative of a condition at the time of the initial determination, the correct procedure is to reapply for benefits. See Ward v. Schweiker, 686 F.2d 762, 765-66 (9th Cir.1982).

^4. Daily activities which consume a substantial part of an applicants day are relevant. "This court has repeatedly asserted that the mere fact that a plaintiff has carried on certain daily activities, such as grocery shopping, driving a car, or limited walking for exercise, does not in any way detract from her credibility as to her overall disability. One does not need to be utterly incapacitated in order to be disabled." Vertigan v. Halter, 260 F.3d 1044, 1049 (9th Cir. 2001) (quotation and citation omitted).
