Development and Evaluation Adjudicators at all levels of the administrative review process are responsible for taking all appropriate steps to resolve similar fault issues in accordance with the standards in this Ruling. Adjudicators must adhere to existing due process and confidentiality requirements during the process of resolving similar fault issues. In making determinations about whether there is similar fault, all adjudicators must: 1. Consider all evidence in the case record before determining whether specific evidence may be disregarded. 2. Apply the preponderance of evidence standard, as defined in this Ruling. 3. Fully document the record with the evidence that was the basis for the finding that, based on a preponderance of the evidence, there is reason to believe that similar fault was involved in providing the evidence that is being disregarded. D. Notice of Determination or Decision In determinations or decisions that involve a finding of similar fault and disregarding evidence, the notice of determination or decision must: 1. Explain the applicable provision of the Act that allows the adjudicator to disregard particular evidence due to a similar fault finding. 2. Identify the documents or other evidence that is being disregarded. 3. Provide a discussion of the evidence that supports a finding to disregard evidence. The discussion must explain that, in accordance with the law, the evidence identified cannot be used as evidence in the claim because, after considering all the information in the case record, the adjudicator has reason to believe that similar fault was involved in providing the evidence and it must be disregarded. Again, a similar fault finding can be made only if there is reason to believe, based on a preponderance of the evidence, the person knew that the evidence provided was false or incomplete. A similar fault finding cannot be based on speculation or suspicion. 4. Provide a determination or decision based on an evaluation of the remaining evidence in accordance with other rules and procedures.
