I really want to thank both of you, for the information in this video, you helped me with the exact question that I have been stressing on, diagnosed CHF at 55, I'm now 58, and 4 yrs I'm 62,,it's like you were talking about me,lol,,,thanx again 👋😎

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I'm almost 63 and was approved at 60 so hearing that it is extremely likely that'll I'll be reviewed is a great relief.

Wow! Great and informative video. I wish I would have found this when it came out. Thank you!

Thanks so much, ladies. I'm 62 this year and what with all the talk about changes to the SS reviews and such, have been increasingly concerned about the possible contiuation (or not) of my benefits. Unless something drastic occurs between the time of this video and now, I feel a bit more at ease. Thanks so much for your edification. I'll sleep a lot better tonight. Best to both. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Yes sorry about your loss they don’t care I am 57 and still receiving the short form every 3 years there is no guarantee

Beautiful and smart ! Thanks Ladies!!

Thanks ladies

Great information, thanks!

Approved at several months you were very helpful

I've been on SSDI for 20 years and have only been reviewed twice

Im on SSI...I have MS. Will be 59 yo soon... I was worried about being kicked off SSI due to not going to Doc appt for simple check up for 1 year altho i havnt missed any appts before pandemic. My health situation fluctuates slightly, if it gets worse ill see doc. Hope SSI wont pick on an older guy like me so close to retirement age...Ive seen them do horrible things to other MS ppl but they were younger. thx!

Thank you girls, very imformitive and helpful.

I was approved for SSDI at 58, the award letter said the review will be in 5-7 years. I’m guessing I’m in a safe spot? I heard you say” unless you work.” Are you saying that even if you stay under the monthly income (1,350 in 2022) that could trigger a review at my age range?

Thank you for the informative video. Your videos helped me get approved for SSDI on my initial claim - mostly for mental health no less. That being said, the approval letter has already advised me that I'll be subject to a CDR in three years (when I'll be 34 years old). I'd like to try and go to college part-time (6 credit-hours per semester) while receiving benefits but am concerned about how these activities may affect my CDR or even trigger one to occur sooner. I don't intend to earn a degree. I just want to try taking a part-time class schedule at the local community college to have some responsibility and social interaction. Are my concerns warranted? Thank you!

I was approved at age 50 now I'm 57 just received a short form disability update report.

Honestly started 1st SSDI payment Jan 2016. I’m now into my 8th year. No review yet. (64) in June.

i'm 55 and am currently under a review. i have not heard back for several months now. anyway, if i am not blind, can i work part time and earn under the sga $1310 level and not trigger any red flags?

Hi. What type of questions do they ask during these reviews. My son is 12 & autistic and his review is coming up. But I don't know what to expect.

If you don't use your trial month work period months you can't work under that amount because of the continuing eligibility review?

Hi if someone has learning decibilty with spelling and math do they quality going on decibilty?

Thank you very much for such excellent information.

I’m 59 and I am having to do a review, my first one. I have a rare disease called psoriatic arthritis mutalins. It effects 2% of the population. My rheumatologist and my dermatologist both have not ever seen a patient with a case as severe as mine. If you look up mutalins being 1 of the 5 types of psoriatic arthritis it states that it is a very severe destructive arthritis. And it is 100% disabling. It has destroyed my spine. I had to get an implant called a spinal cord stimulater implant. Of course my joints. Severe fatigue & pain is something I live with 24/7. And now the psoriasis has spread massively all over my body. It’s more than 70 % of my body. My skin Constantly bleeding and itching . Very uncomfortable. Prevents me from sleeping, I’ve been up all night. All of this is in my medical records. I see my doctors routinely My rheumatologist, pain management, dermatologist, general practitioner on or around every month. So why after my husband filled out the review paperwork and records were given from my doctors as well as my medications list would I be in review? Clearly my diagnosis is in my records. I feel it’s a waist of time. Of corse I have time . But I’m in pain , I’m tired, and it’s very stressful! Anxiety goes along with what has happened to me. Getting this rare inherited disease and having to give up my career in my 40’s has been devastating. My youngest daughter only age 11 when I got so sick I had to retire at 47, she really needed my help with college. But I can not work to help her financially. Now she is about to have her doctorate in pharmacy. Praise God , he made a way. My other daughter is a nurse. We all choose careers in healthcare. It was just so hard to tell my daughter I didn’t have the money to help her. Doing all I can but that brought on anxiety as much as the day to day task I no longer can do. I just feel I’m being harassed. Or the ones reviewing my case are not actually reading the information to know how serious my case is. If you have a severe disabling disease it just doesn’t go away. As time goes on it becomes worse. Each month is harder for me. I think this review process should be handled differently. Because currently it is wasting Government money & resources. My review should have stopped with a review of my records. With my diagnosis. Because mutalins is not something a person recovers from. Unfortunately. So now I have to add another doctor visit to the list of doctor visits my husband takes me to. A mental evaluation scheduled by the insurance company hired by the government. I guess no one in this review process looked at my medical records. It’s just sad. Those who work and pay taxes pay for reviews on people who absolutely qualify. And if you work for decades paying in and get sick you have to use every ounce of strength to fight for disability. My fight was 5 years. Shouldn’t have been but it was. Now I’m having to go through it again at 59 and very sick. It’s just wrong.

Good Afternoon Ladies, May I please ask a very important question? I am on SSDI. I have a heart toward Fostering child as I have done for several year prior to having to apply for SSDi. I am trying accurate information about weather or not the children fund i.e. their monthly stipend will be considered a personal income for me which could be further from the truth. However, it does make me uneasy about resuming care is that I am being asked to fill out a W9 form which the Foster agency stressed is only for the purpose of receiving the funds on behalf of the children to care for their daily needs. I live in New York City, to be specific Brooklyn. I'd really appreciate any information that you can share so that I can being to accept those children that really need a place to live and the blessing of a family.

What if you received a fully favorable decision?? I’m 56

What if I didn't have a Jude decide my decision? What should I expect?

If you're in your Forties and you have been on for many years and had prior reviews then what happens? If someone was on a Three year Diary at this age and hasn't improved after other reviews then will they wait longer to Review them? Will they at least waiver the Time Frame?

I’m confused and want to call SSA but am reluctant to do so. I was awarded disability and even though my conditions are chronic the judge said that I was gonna impove only I actually worsened considerably since then. I’ve developed several new physical conditions and so I was reapproved after an 18 month review. However they gave me no indication at all as to when I would be reviewed again. They just said they would “periodically” review my case. Since then I’ve actually developed even more disabilities. In fact my pulmonologist thinks I have fibromyalgia that is causing me to be unable to breathe and explains why I keep having more and more physical disabilities-idk. But I have no idea what periodically means. Meanwhile I’m about to be 50 in a few months. What should I make of this?

Please do a video regarding winning a lottery while receiving Social Security Disability and/or SSI. Thank you!

it's 3 year if you are a low ! most likey 24 mo after you win your case then a full CDR then in 3 years ,then every 3 years and over 60 a ssa 455 mailer until your 65 or 67.

Thank you for your video. Im on ssdi and now I will be 60 this month and trying to work 12 hrs per week trying to make ends meet its not much but it helps. I do report this income too. will this hurt my cituation if I continue this job? Im doing this for an out with my depression eventhough Im not able to keep up with puplic just walking .

Thank you! I'm 47 and I've been on it for 2 years so i guess i should be coming up for review soon. Do they review you without you knowing to see if they even want to bother to question whether it should continue or is there always notification? I'm schizophrenic with lots of other mental health issues and i was told when i got it i will still be reviewed. My attorney at the time told when the review comes to let her know.

My husband is 56, prognosis that got him on Disability years ago was terminal cancer. Because he is still alive, they cut him off and declared him able to return to his former work. So, he was maimed by chemo, levaquin, and multiple surgeries and can’t work at all. Can barely drag himself through a day. But at 56, they cut him off anyway. Age does not seem to matter these days.

Thank you for all those videos⚘ Was approved about a year ago I am 56 yr old, where do I see on the letter the review date? I don't see it And worked for 35 yrs and had so many surgeries and couldn't work after that. My lawyer stating Should SSA ever review my case, and they may not And they may not ever review your case. I am confused.

I have bipolar disorder and I had serious issues with mental illness since I was in my pre teen years and my father died when I was 15 and I received social security survivor benefits which turned into ssdi benefits as soon as I turned 18. I've only been reviewed once and that was 11 years ago in 2009 when I was 27 and I'm 38 now. I've received the short disability update report form twice already in 2014 and 2017 and they deferred a full medical review and they recently sent me another short form and I'm waiting to here from them. My condition doesn't really change at all. I don't work at all and I'm usually home by myself and seldom go out but I always take my meds and see my psychiatrist and my psychotherapist so hopefully yet again this time they will defer a full medical review just like in 2014 and in 2017. I've never worked and I have no formal education beyond my GED and have no skills or training at 38 years of age and have been on ssdi my whole adult life for the past 20 years so if I lost my benefits I would be unable to survive. I have no family and really no close friends either

I am 53. 2023 is my 3 year anniversary and received the notice of review. I replied online and received a letter stating they’ve decided no review is needed at this point in time?! Encourage me to contact them w/ any changes in my medical or work status. Now what? Should I expect another notification in 3 years? The anxiety 😭😭😭

I will be 65 in October. My initial judgment was MINE. I believe my last review was 6 or 7 years ago. So I know by timing alone, I am soon due for a review. I was wondering my chances of getting a long form vs a short form due to my age? Also due to the backlog due to Covid, is it possible I might not get a review form at this point? Thank you. I appreciated your video.

So I won my ssi case and I know im gunna have a cdr my question is I have alot going on and I turn 50 in March does that mean I'll probably only have that one? I have stage 2 copd and crps and arthritis in my spine

They sent me a work history form RIGHT after getting my backpay. I don’t know what triggered it. I’m devastated. I know form 454 is coming (if not termination). I’m 53.

I just had 3rd cdr at 57 due for next at 60 what are my chances

I got my benefits at age 58 mostly for major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. I also suffer from extreme panic attacks. I had asked Avvo Law Group about a CDR at age 62 last year and they told me the same thing that you said. One thing I want to mention is that some people might be able to work with mental disorders. Others can't. It's a common stigma. People criticize it and don't take it seriously. Now it might be easier for an employer to hire an applicant with a physical disability to accomodate them following ADA law. But they might be a little hesitant hiring someone with a mental one. They might find it hard to deal with them not being able to follow simple instructions, have trouble concentrating, thinking and making decisions, mood swings that distrupt the work enviornment, sad and irritable most of the time, no energy, have high anxiety with almost anything, constantly forgetting, etc. I take antidepressants. They may stabilize me, but they won't cure me. A review at my age for all that really would be pointless.

Hi, I am 60 years old prior I was receiving a CDR every three years short form in February, this February I received nothing does this mean I will get the long form? Is there a way to find out? I'm afraid to call I don't want to trigger one..thanks in advance

Hello i will be 65 in November my full retirement age is 66 and 10 months. Do you think that I will receive a CDR at my age. Thanks

I'm 56 years old right now, when I go up for my review do you recommend for me to have an attorney?

I'm not sure this is accurate. I was 31 when I was approved to get benefits, and the letter I received said I'm in the "not likely to improve" category, which, according to the brochure, means I'll be reviewed in 5-7 years from then, and I've read online that that usually means 7 years. Anyway, a guy can hope.

I am 60 yrs old and suffer from Bi Polar and PTSD. I was awarded benefits the first time around. I have a review this summer and I worry about everything. I stopped taking a lot of meds I had been taking because off my liver Issues. I have been taking different antidepressants for over 20 years and the side effects are awful. I also had a horrible car accident due to klopin not knowing the side effects it could cause when you came off it. I had a seizure and went airborne and hit a tree 6 feet in the air. I broke my sternum, back and crushed my ankle. I don’t want to take all of these drugs. Due to the PTSD I only leave my house 2 to 3 times a month because I have such bad anxiety and severe panic attacks. I guess what I want to know can they stop my disability check if I don’t go back to my shrink. I see my Orthopedic surgeons for my back, foot and neck issues and my family physician of 30 years regularly for my Bi Polar issues.

I have a relative that I care for on Disability. He's 55 now and his last CDR was 7 years ago (2013) when he was 49. Are you saying that despite the rule that a CDR has to be performed once every 7 years, it's likely he won't need to go through one this year or anymore at all now that he's 55? I hope you can answer this please.

If one acknowledges that ssdi has made their life better and that they are better now after getting it. That is reason to be kicked off of it? If one admits that SSDI is a good thing and that it has helped them.. that is reason to be kicked off?

I turned 57 December 2020. I got a short form CDR that I sent back on October 16, 2020 and still have not heard anything back as of February 18th, 2020. Isn't that a long time to wait for a response? Thank you

What about heart failure?

I went on disability when I was 59 now I'm going to be 64 they said they switched me onto Social Security that I'm not any longer on disability could you explain that to me I live in the state of Illinois

Have you ever heard of an ALJ making a “recommended decision” ( not a final decision) and then sending his recommendation to the appeals council for finalization of the decision.

I'm only 32 and I got denied 2 times I hope I get it the third try

I haven't had a medical review since 2010

What's the maximum yearly income I can make with SSI? I'm current under review in MD and make $16.55 per hour and am full time. Im 36 and have a form of CP, its a permanent disability. I think I make 31k per year. I've heard it's around 40k under ruling 26b? I don't remember if that's the exact ruling. I just want to make sure that I'm not going to lose my medicaid, I make way to much to get any monthly checks.

The Judge didn’t say anything about being reviewed on my fully favorable decision? I’m 41

What about when my child does 18 yrs old. They are doing a medical review soon.

Thanks for the information. Was helpful. I'm 60 and on SSDI. Have been since age 50. In 2019 I got a letter from SS about reviewing my disability.I'm disabled for depression/anxiety disorder.My LCSW says I have a social anxiety disorder. SS accepted this and allowed me to continue to receive my benefits.Should I be concerned about more frequent future reviews? This has been the only review I've had since receiving SSDI. I use a LCSW as a counselor.

I’m 43, I’m on disability because I have broken several bones from an accident. I’m scared that S.C.D will kick me off disability because I’m young. I have a lot of recovery yet to do. I can’t walk the same I use to, I can’t work construction anymore. I just got my review paperwork this week and I’m scared. I can’t work yet, I want to eventually but my mental state especially my physical state isn’t ready.

My partner is 57 and just received the CDR short form. She does not work.

I got approved at 56, and my award letter said a review would be done in 3 years when I'm 59. Would they still review me, or do they sometimes not review even though the award letter said they would?

If you are in your 50's and you are on SSDI it may not be in your Best interest to be working (on the books).

I'm being reviewed for the first time after 12 years. So, what's up with that?

What about being reviewed at 60 years old? It seems to be unclear

Iam turning 60 in april and our now being reviewed but havent heard nothing back and it has been almost a month i have been on since 2005 so do u think they will bother me since iam so close to 62 please reply Thank you iam so stressed about this and stress isnt good for any health issues my health issue is iam Hiv

I’m 63 on disability for 2yrs for copd what are the chances of me having a review

If approved (MINE category) at 53 (a week before 54), so review might be around about 60 years old, do you think that mostly they’ll be looking to see if you can do past work? Ty

I'm 56 years old almost 57 and they just sent me a CDR that I have to return in 30 days. I am SO NERVOUS I am absolutely rattled

I'm wondering why I'm getting a letter saying that from Social Security that they have not received my CDR paperwork but with in fact they did a month ago before I got this letter so they sent it out I received on the 15th of January don't it out send it back the same day and I called them so they can make a note of it on the same day then February 13th I got a notice saying they have not received it which in fact they did receive it a week after I sent it out on the 22nd and then sent me a letter on February 13th said they have not received it in the back of my benefits update do I need to worry about this even though I done called Social Security and they said disregard the letter and they'll put a note in the system saying it's been there since the 22nd what not of January

Got a very unusual question. When DDs examiner makes a decision at the initial stage of ssdi. What age do they use? 1# age of alleged onset 2# age at time of application 3# age at DDs examiner decision? Because I’m on 23 months and at initial stage STILL! The Baltimore office admits they screwed up and my case has been reactivated ( what ever that means) I’m currently 61. But has been going on since age 58. It’s ridiculous.

2007 3 year cdr SSDi 2019 garnishing by dept of education 2023 3 year CDR age 56

So past 55 most likely no more reviews?

I will soon be 58. I was awarded benefits 7 years ago. A view months ago I was sent a Disability Update Report to fill out which was 2 pages. I recently received a letter stating that I am not being reviewed and that they are not contacting my doctor "now". Does this mean they will be giving me a review in the near future? I was hospitalized 3 times in the past 2 years, my second back surgery, a neck surgery, and a leg ablation with complications. I was still under the surgeon's care for my back surgery when I filled out the review and continue to see all my doctors on a regular basis. Is this something that is going to happen often? It is kind of nerve racking being scared of losing my benefits as I'm getting older and worse.

Can you talk about the upcoming changes to the reviews and change of rules that the Trump administration is pushing through for 2021? Also I am 55 and received a short form CDR in the mail a week ago. I think my retirement age is 67? Then disability is supposed to roll over to social security. With the upcoming changes people like me will be reviewed every 2 years.

What happens when you turn retirement age

What about 25 plus years but now I'm 71?
