Are You at Risk for Termination of Your Social Security Disability Benefits

Are you at risk for termination by Social Security of your #disability benefits after a continuing disability review? Over the past few years, Social Security has put more effort into reviewing certain types of claims for termination of benefits.
Termination cases are very problematic for disability claimants because the appeal process in these cases is identical to the appeal process in new disability claims with one big difference - it can be difficult or impossible to find a lawyer to help you prove that you are still disabled.
When you receive a notice of termination you have the option of having your monthly benefit checks continue while you appeal the proposed termination. If you choose to have benefits continue, there will be no past due benefits. Unless your lawyer is willing to work for free, you will not be able to find a lawyer to accept your case under a contingency fee contract. You will therefore have to file your appeal paperwork and appear at a termination hearing on your own, or you will need to find a way to save up several thousand dollars to pay your attorney directly.
If you choose not to have benefits continue, you will have past due benefits available and you may be able to find a lawyer to work on your case under a contingency fee contract. But you will have no money coming in each month for the next one to two years.
In this video I discuss the factors that I believe Social Security uses to decide which cases to review. I also discuss how you can best prepare for the possibility that your case will be reviewed and possibly flagged for termination. #socialsecuritydisability #continuingdisabilityreview #terminationofbenefitssocialsecurity #ssditerminationofbenefits

Social Security should not be allowed to review someone that has a permanent disability. I am reviewed almost every year even though I have a congenital brain condition. I understand that the qualifications change as you’re an adult but in this case, me being an adult doesn’t change anything. My condition doesn’t get better, it’s congenital and none of my disabilities have lessened. Every time they review me they try to say that my eyes are fine even though I have optic nerve damage. They try to tell me that I don’t have cerebral palsy when it’s obvious that I do. They don’t review people because of improvement, they review people because they have nothing better to do. You can try to prove me wrong but my case is solid evidence that that is true. Nothing about my disability can get better and SSi literally tried to say that there is nothing wrong with me. Honestly, If the people in charge of evaluations for SSI can’t grasp the fact that congenital disabilities are permanent then they shouldn’t have a job anymore.

Once again thank you for this information, and all the other valuable information that you constantly provide. At the age of 58 I was approved with the, “Medical Improvement Not Expected.” My letter said to expect a CDR in 5-7 years. I still currently see my pain management physician and I get regular injections every few months. Although it’s somewhat comforting to hear that someone in my age group may not have a CDR, I still remain in fear that for some unknown reason they might choose me to put through the wringer once again. Thank you again for the information!

This would be a good video to do an update on. COVID seems to have shut down many of Social Security processes. My uncle (age: 64) is on SSDI and earned 4,000 in 2020. He's extremely worried SS will terminate his benefits but I just don't see that happening at his age. (He's tried to go back to work for many years, often earning a few hundred or one to two thousand in a fiscal year until his disabilities force him to give up -- he DEFINITELY isn't trying to milk the system in any way. He emailed me photos from his working in 2020 and his body was covered in black and blue marks.). I asked him if the SS office was open where he lives and he said it has NOT been open for more than a year now.

Great videos. You helped me get my case seen faster and I was approved. You give good tips. However, when I was approved in 2018 my letter stated that they will review in July 2020 so I called my attorney and he said not to worry about it that they most likely wont do it. I still see the same doctors and therapist as well. The only difference is I see my therapist 2 a month verses 4 a month so a little improvement there. What are your thoughts on a review really happening?

@billthompson5644 6 жыл бұрын

Your video was stellar as usual. I watch & save all of your videos. I have a couple of questions when I went in and initially for disability, in November 2013, I could barely move. I was 49 years old. I don't even recall getting a denial letter. One day I got a letter in the mail and they sent me to a doctor, so I went. Approximately a month later I had a $5,000 check in the bank.I thought something was wrong with my bank statement. 1. I got approved. 2. I believe it was in August 2017, I was 53 years old, when I got a letter asking about my medical conditions. I went to an office where they help you fill these forms out. He sent it in (because my vision is getting very bad), I have lower back problems,my lymphedema never seems to go away and my ulcerative colitis kicks up I said my condition was worse. The man sent the form in. Approximately 5 months later they sent me back a letter saying, there was no reason can proceed with anything right now .They will contact me if they need to talk to my Dr and that was the end of it. 2. Maybe it's just me but I've had people follow me around stores. I'm really paranoid I really really watch for those things I actually keep my shades down except when I'm airing out the house. The other day I was in the store and the guy with his tag turned around comes up to me and said " you really shop here a lot." I asked him who he was he said, "let's just say I'm a guy who saves people a lot of money". And he continued to watch me shop. 3. Am I worrying too much?

@ssdattorney 6 жыл бұрын

Bill, my experience has been that SSA is putting more emphasis on reviewing claims for people younger than age 50. Also, given your conditions I don't think you would be someone that they would review. Now, SSA does encourage the public to report cases of fraud and if there are people in your life who don't like you, they could be creating problems.

I am by my understanding eligible to retire next year on Sept 30 at age 66 and 2 months. I am concerned SSA will try to remove me from SSDI before I can transition to retirement status.

Jacqueline you raise a very important point - when SSA send you paperwork asking about work or medical treatment updates you have to reply and send it in. I suspect that many reviews turn into terminations because approved claimants simply don't respond. It is also important that you keep SSA updated as to your address if you move.

If you can qualify for a CDL Liscence medical card, you will be found NOT disabled. I used to have a class A CDL and I could not pass the medical for keeping my CDL, My atty told me that having a CDL will negatively affect your claim. I dropped mine because I had not used it in more than 10 years and knew I would no longer pass the medical. Back in the early 2000's you were not required to get the health card renewed every 2 years like you are now. Fact of the matter I hadn't been required to pass one because I wasn't driving commercially for a long time. I just kept it because they are hard to get if you ever need to drive OTR.

Dave, I always encourage folks who have lawyers to stick with who they have. If you fire Attorney #1 and hire #2, both will have to file fee petitions and you may end up paying more. Also it can be difficult to find a 2nd attorney because SSA typically sits on fee petitions for 2 or 3 years. I would ask Premier if they plan to have a local lawyer try your hearing or are they going to send someone to cover it. There is nothing inherently wrong with using a large, out-of-state law firm, but you do need to ask that they keep you updated.

I have been getting SSI for schizoaffective disorder since 2000. I got a Review letter recently. Problem is I have been working three times since getting SSI. I get fired immediately after training because of my schizoaffective disorder and on all these jobs I last less than 2 months and have been fired on all of them. I am always the first one out of training to get fired..I sincerely tried to hold down a job to see if I am capable but sadly I get fired weeks just out of training.. I have said innapropriate things because of my schizoaffective disorder. The last time I wrote a supervisor a very bad work because I was so disoriented.. I actually wrote "---sshole" to him in an email because I was disoriented and forgot where I was.. I wrote this to a superior... they gave me one more chance and I said a bad word to a coach and customer on the phone.. I called them a "bitch" because I was not feeling well mentally and they heard me. .I could not deal with the stress of the nagging customer on the phone and my coach would not help me..I don't know what got into me when I said that..I was not feeling well when I said that. I was the worst performing member on the team and my trainer hated me because she had to repeat things to me multiple times. In another job, I thought a group of co-workers were against me and I called them 'terrorists" because one of them was middle eastern. I did not just say that to them, I yelled that to them that the supervisors on the floor heard me yell that and got concerned there were terrorists working for them and they had to talk to me..Well, the very first day out of training they fired me on the first day on the very first phone call because they said I "abused a customer." The truth is, my yelling on the floor things like "terrorist" and my behavior made them uncomfortable and they wanted me to leave the company. I did not mean to sound abusive and aggressive to the customer but it came off that way and have been told I lack people skills//.. Will my very very very short work history hurt me for the review???? I don't have family and friends. My parents who took care of me are dead. And my extended family has shun me.

I have a question if you're able to answer. If you have been on disability benefits for 10+ years and you get a cessation of benefits letter, can you reapply for disability? If you didn't work while you were on disability is that counted against you if you try to reapply? I have read that you have to have a minimum of 5 years of work in order to even have a disability application considered, and it is a bit confusing for those who have been on disability but lose benefits, then try to reapply. Do they still look at your work history from the past prior to when you first approved for benefits?

@kellyyork3898 2 жыл бұрын

I have read on SSA’s website that if you work, even a little bit, even way under SGA, during the first two years after you have been awarded SSDI or SSI, you definitely will have a CDR if for no other reason than to just Carefully examine your income and assets...,and this could lead to a medical CDR. Is this indeed true as I understand it? And, why the two year period...does it have something to do with that waiting period for MEDICARE?

If you are asking about how an approved claimant can afford a lawyer for a continuing disability review (CDR), you have to either pay several thousand dollars up front or allow benefits to stop while you want the 2 years for a hearing. It appears to me that the CDR system is designed to put unrepresented claimants in front of judges at SSD hearings.

The SSI ruling was that i have tears in both my wrists and that is why they gave me my benefits. They didn't count my bad vision my bad knees and ankles and my schizophrenia to help me get my benefits. Then they reviewed my case and told me that my i had to have different reason or reasons to keep my benefits coming in. Right before all that i was fortunate and unfortunately having terrifying schizophrenic episodes in which i was hospitalized twice and began seeing a psychiatrist regularly and got right back on my antipsychotics. They allowed me to keep my benefits for the remainder or the year. Fast forward to this week and now they sent me a CD-R and 4 pages to complete stating what meds im on and Drs i see also including my work history. I think they are going to try to stop my benefits and i find this very disappointing and stressful being that I and my wife currently have to budget our finances and generally live paycheck to paycheck. If we struggle to save money now getting my benefits how much more difficult would it be if the SSI stop me from receiving my much needed and only source of income. Another thing is i recieved a disc in the mail yesterday and today i put the cd disc in the laptop and the disc was empty and was basically a blank disc.

Meaning, don't even expect 50% of the claim you're entitled to. My suggestion is to background check, get info from the state bar regarding the attorney you're seeking, look for negative reviews from them. Then, hire the 1 that you approve. Otherwise, might as well grab your backpack and sleeping bag because more than 1/2 the amit due to you, after winning a case is not even enough to pay for your prescriptions.

He is in mid 50's been on SSDI for about 8yrs had 2 reviews 1 long 1 short and continues to receive benefits his approved disabilities are migraine and ddd. He follows up with spine doc who writes script for nerve pain, and neuro for migraine med but cant afford the spine injections anymore and says they never did anything to help. He had a prior cervical fusion but area below has now begun to cause severe nerve pain as well as a nerve impingement in lumbar region The migraine med is just too expensive so it uses up most of his avail income. He was due for a review this spring but since covid hit assumes there is a back log. His spine doc retired a few month ago and he is concerned a new spine doc will want to put him through all the same med trials, injections etc that he can not afford or decide not to take him on since he's not willing to do anymore than meds. Any advice for him. Do you think a full review if that were to happen will put him in jeapardy. He sees both a neuro and spine doc about 2x year ea

First, my experience has been that once a claimant reaches his mid-50's reviews are less common. But if he has one he will need evidence of ongoing medical care. If I was in his shoes I would do everything possible to establish care with a new orthopedist so that there will be objective and opinion evidence available if he is reviewed again.

Anywho last year I was reviewed. I think because, I tried to work ... I couldn't do it way to much for me.. I would like to try again to work but very concerned that they will try and take my benefits.... Any insight would be welcome... thanks so much.. John..

John, SSA does not make public the factors it uses to review approved claimants. Sometimes evidence of income seems to trigger reviews but not always. It seems to me that given your age and your medical condition you would win at hearing if SSA tried to terminate your benefits but do you want to deal with the hassle. If you have not used up your 9 trial work months you could certainly to that. Beyond that if you stay below the $880 trial work period trigger - www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/twp.html - you should be ok.
