In this situation, we compute your second-entitlement primary insurance amount by selecting the higher of the following:
(a) *New primary insurance amount.* The primary insurance amount computed as of the time of your second entitlement under any of the computation methods for which you qualify at the time of your second entitlement; or
(b) *Previous primary insurance amount.* The primary insurance amount to which you were entitled in the last month for which you were entitled to a disability insurance benefit.
