The type of mfb at cessation, after conversion.

The type of mfb first depends on the date of entitlement to the subsequent benefit. If it is January 1996 or later, then the type is POST1995_NOCHANGE if the new benefit is a disability benefit, or if the Disability Maximum does not apply. The type is POST1995_DECONVERTED if it is an old-age or survivor benefit and the Disability Maximum applies. 

If the date of entitlement to the subsequent benefit is before January 1996, then the type depends on if the prior DIB entitlement continued in the 12 months preceding the new entitlement. If so, the type is PRE1996_PRE1979_LAST12 if eligibility to the prior DIB benefit was before 1979, or PRE1996_POST1978_LAST12 if eligibility to the prior DIB benefit was after 1978. Otherwise, the type is PRE1996_NOTLAST12.
