Why do they have to be so brutally cruel to sick people??

Excellent Brian, Thank you.

Thanks so much for your knowledge and sharing your thoughts and guidance

I received my back pay today was deposited into my bank account. No complaint from SSA, I am very happy. I have no problem filling out the review form because I’m always visiting my doctors on regular basis.

I'll be 65 in April, which is the official age for Medicare for retirees. So, my FRA would be in 2023, which would take effect that October. Now 3 years ago, I asked Avvo about getting a CDR at age 62, and at least 2 lawyers told me that it would be most unlikely I would get one but could if I worked. And 2 lady lawyers here on KZfaq agreed as well. In any case, I'm early retirement age, and I read somewhere that for every year after age 62, I'd get 7% more until FRA, when full disability is converted to for about the same monthly amount.

I`m on SSI. I knew better than waste my back pay on a car. I bought a 30 ft camper, prepping gear, and as much solar power as possible. They can`t take that away hopefully. SSI doesn`t allow us to save money for car repairs or anything else so what`s the use if I can`t even afford gas, engine repairs, or even damned tires? My only option, the way I see it, is to do my very best to figure out how to grow or catch my own food and have a reliable power source for the next ten years so my freezer won`t thaw out and ensure I have lights, fans, electric mower, and 12 volt cooking. I can`t afford the solar for air conditioning or heat. I hope I can power an electric tiller from solar. I may only need a cheap charge controller, AC inverter, and a single large battery to do it. I don`t know. I expect that no matter what I`ll be punished.

I got my long form CDR 13 months ago and have yet to hear anything from SS, does it usually take this long, when I call SS they say it’s still pending, 13 months and its still pending that’s mind blowing to me

I just received my disability cessation letter today. I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2018 and after treatment, as growing brain tumor and two strokes, they say I’m now good enough to go back to work. I’m not and just don’t know what to do now.

I'm 55 years old disabled and been receiving SSDI for my self. My diasbled husband just passed away 5 months ago. I applied for widow spousal benefits and they interviewed me over the phone by the SSA and took the application. I received a letter that they did receive my medical records from my primary doctors and I need Psychological mental evaluation before making a decision for the benefits. They said I should receive an answer within a month. A month passed and now I receive another letter that they are referring me to see a medical doctor for evalution. My appointment scheduled in April. I'm just wondering why I have to go through that again. In the beginning they told me that I only need the Mental test evaluation. What is that mean? Are they trying not to approve my spousal benefits? I hope you can advice me. Thank you.

Why wasn't the vocational witness at my hearing? If my attorney wanted to cross examine,she wouldn't of been able to do it,I'm confused.

My friend just got cut off his SSDI He thought because he had brain cancer 12 years ago he didn't have to go to the doctor. Boy was he wrong !!!

I believe I got one done over the phone earlier this year.

He died in front of behavioral health in Lacrosse in 2018 he was only 61

In the interview he said that if you’re under age 58,59 you’re supposed to get a CDR. I was approved when I was 58, does this mean the chances less likely I’ll get a CDR?

I’m 62 turning 63 in 5 month. I just got approved and got my 2 years back pay deposited electronically on my bank account. It has been 3 weeks ago since getting my back pay. I didn’t get CDR letter. Will I get one ?

This is great information akin to maintaining a good credit score, learning the rules and not damaging your profile. Outstanding content. Thanks.

Hello Brian i wanted to ask you a question if you had a small business like an uber driver for for example can you use contributions to an IRA to keep you under the monthly amount of 970 dollars to keep from setting off that social security trigger

I am on SSI and will be turning 60 soon. I have not worked since 2010, what is my liklihood of getting a CDR? My diagnoses are bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, Borderline Personality, cervical spinal stenosis, moderate/ severe, and myelopathy.

I was born 1963 I’m on ssdi it says I maybe reviewed 7 years after I recieved ssdi I’ll be 62 at that time what are the chances of being reviewed since full retirement will be 5 years after that date?

I usely get reviewed every 3 yrs last one was 2019 so im up but I heard they didn't do cdr s during covid so will it be this yr or a few more yrs?

Thank you for these educational videos! I have severe epilepsy and recieve SSI. In 2019 my grandfather left myself andy dad a family property. The property was sold,owner financed for $68,000 in July 2020. I am not getting any of the $848 monthly mortgage payment. I am listed on the deed in the event my dad passes and the property is still in financing status I will be the heir to whatever remains in the mortgage. SSI received information from the Title Company. The information th y recieve makes it looks as if the home was sold in one lump transaction. SSI keeps thinking I received $34,000 in a lump sum and my father recieved $34,000 in a lump sum. This is not the case. My father and I sent them a notorized document explaining that I'm not getting any of the monthly mortgage payment of $848. I am listed only for inheritance purposes. Now I received an " Amendments to Redetermination Summary for Determining Continuing Eligibility for Supplemental Security Income Payments". It states " I receive or expect to receive the following income RE-Property Amount: $34,000. Permissions to Contact Financial Institutions" I do not know what to do about this because I nor my father have received any lump sum. I haven't gotten a penny from the whole transaction. Any advice would be much appreciated. My Medicaid is my life support. I feel like SSA is trying to misinterpret this information intentionally to cut my SSI.

I will get a review every two years. I have a question is passing a Review CDR pretty easy to do One of my disabilities causes me to OCD about things and worry to much to where I’m miserable when I should be happy . I was told that If I continue to see my Psychiatrist and counselor because of my mental illnesses that’s generally a good way to pass it is that true?

Hi I been receiving benefits since Aug 2022. Date of disability aug 2020. They knew I was working. I have them all they needed in beginning. Now they sent me a 821 bk letter

Hi I was receiving the short form every 3 years I turned 60 this year and received nothing does this mean I will get the long form? Thanks

I was approved for Disability in 2022. I have yet to receive my back payments, but my lawyer has been paid from Social Security. It has been over 90 days. What can I do to get my back pay?

If you live overseas will it raise a red flag? (Have a US address) keeping up with appointments as well.

Will SSA send me a letter if I pass the cdr? It's been over 6 months.

I was approved in 4 months. My review in my reward letter said 3 years. But I received the short form approximately 4 years later. I received a letter they won't be reviewing at this time. I did tell them my condition is worse plus new heart health issues. I Just turned 50. Will I still be on a 3 years review

I’m 62 yrs old just got fully favorable decision, on the letter from the judge nothing mentioned about review. Please advice, thank you

Desperately needs answers please!! A friend of mine received one and panicked and never sent the CDR in and the SSA kept sending monthly payments. Would be this be considered an overpayment that she will have to pay back???

I was disabled in 2020 age 59. My award letter stated that I would be reviewed in 5 to 7 years. I'm i really likely to be reviewed at 64 to 66?

I went to the website but it looks scammy the way it’s setup like a sales pitch and then the disability review page says it’s a call with a licensed agent. 🤔

How do I become a member??? 🤔

We have been waiting on a verdict on my daughter's ssdi and got a email about Proffer. I have no idea what that is or why it wasn't sent in a letter. I could have easily over looked it on my email because didn't say social security.

If you get the long form review, get someone you know well to fill it out. They can be more objective about how you function. I tend to overstate my abilities, the wrong direction to go here.

My friend was on disability she was used to study covid 19 vaccine shot 2 killed her age 58

Who was the old guy and what do he do ?

i just got the short form the 6 question..i sent it back via on line..i am over 50 getting ssi since 2004 i have sarcoids and bone loss and i am crazy

If you voluntarily stop your SSDI do they still do a medical review?

How do I become a member?

Hi Brian. Can I do a part-time independent contractor type (own professional services type, to add up income-work at home only an 4 hour week, it will help me with my meds and my disabled mom meds including food- too expensive and costly food. Is this a right route?

Maybe it's just me but they seem more concerned about taking your benefits rather than help u. This review crap can be stressful

Will I get reviewed at 64 years old?

I’m hoping this helps me because I am so scared. I’ve only been on it for 3 years. I’m terrified.

Talk talk talk…six minutes before any substance…

Some of the information provided here, by the Social Security's own website, is wrong; "The law requires us to perform a medical CDR *at least once every three years* , however, if you have a medical condition that is not expected to improve, we will still review your case, *once every five to seven years* ." The SSA provides the text of the law itself: 20 CFR "§ 404.1590. When and how often we will conduct a continuing disability review." expressly states "(d) Frequency of review. If your impairment is expected to improve, generally we will review your continuing eligibility for disability benefits at intervals from 6 months to 18 months following our most recent decision. Our notice to you about the review of your case will tell you more precisely when the review will be conducted. If your disability is not considered permanent but is such that any medical improvement in your impairment(s) cannot be accurately predicted, we will review your continuing eligibility for disability benefits at least once every 3 years. *If your disability is considered permanent, we will review your continuing eligibility for benefits no less frequently than once every 7 years but no more frequently than once every 5 years.* " The SSA's _How We Decide if You Still Have a Qualifying Disability_ paper (Publication No. 05-10053) dated Feb 2021 states "If improvement is not expected, we’ll review your case every *seven* years." So there is some confusion about the MINE being five to seven or just seven years but it is at least five years by § 404.1590 (d) barring triggers for an earlier review. Best to read § 404.1590 (provided by the SSA itself - www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/404/404-1590.htm ) in its entirety to see what those triggers are.
