Re: misdiagnoses?
No, I see no legal basis for such claims on the facts propounded as there could be any number of reasons as to why the first claim was denied and the second one approved 25 years later, including the possibilty that the criteria for eligibility were relaxed or modified in a way that allowed the person to subsequently qualify for benefits.
