20 C.F.R. § 410.432 Cessation of disability.
Title 20 - Employees' Benefits
(a) Where it has been determined that a miner is totally disabled under §410.412, such disability shall be found to have ceased in the month in which his impairment, as established by medical or other relevant evidence, is no longer of such severity as to prevent him from engaging in comparable and gainful work. (b) Except where a finding is made as specified in paragraph (a) of this section which results in an earlier month of cessation, if a miner is requested to furnish necessary medical or other evidence or to present himself for a necessary medical examination by a date specified in the request or a date extended at the miner's request for good cause, and the miner fails to comply with such request, the disability may be found to have ceased in the month within which the date for compliance falls, unless the Administration determines that there is a good cause for such failure. (c) Before a determination is made that a miner's disability has ceased, such miner shall be given notice and an opportunity to present evidence including that from medical sources of his own choosing and arguments and contention that his disability has not ceased.
