This page will change to delete the section titled "Claimant Representative Services" and all the text
underneath that title and will just reflect a new title: "Appointed Representative Services" with no text
under it. (I do not have a copy of this screen yet.)
Also, according to OSES, the “OCSE” portion of this page is also not applicable at this point in time and
will be deleted.

displayed in that location instead:

SSN.
