If, after the time period for reopening under [§ 261.2(b)](/cfr/20/261.2.md?p=b) of this part has expired, new evidence is furnished showing a different date of birth or new evidence is furnished which would cause a correction in a record of compensation as provided for in [part 211](/cfr/20/part211.md) of this chapter and, as a result of the new evidence, increased benefits would be payable, the Board will pay increased benefits, but only for the months following the month the new evidence is received.
