Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 , just wanted to give you a little hope. 2 years ago i came up for review. my pa has been severe at times, but never as bad as yours seems to be. it has especially been tolerable the last 2 years, but i was renewed with out any question. i went to my lawyer with my questionaire, she helped me fill it out. i wanted to be honest with how i felt, but didn't want them to think i was " cured " . within a couple of months, i was continued for another 5 years. i hope they will not even look twice at you, and continue the ss. i know for me, just having the little bit i get relieves some of the helplessness feeling this disease causes. good luck susan in ohio Quote
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Can anyone give me a 'heads-up' regarding a Social Security Review of Disabilty (Disability Update Report)? This is my first one, and things like this just make me a nervous wreck, and make an already bad condition worse. Thank you all in advance. Quote
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Sounds like you mean the CDR (Continuing Disability Review). Happens about every 7 years or so now. May start happening earlier, like every 5 years if the SSA gets approval. It is just 'part of the process' of continuing your SSDI benefits. The SSA just wants an update on your disability, your activities, what you do during the day, the doctors you see, your pain level, etc. They also want to check to make sure your name and address are correct and that you have promptly reported any changes, like if you have tried part-time work. This is normal. Fill out the paperwork as thoroughly and as timely as you can. Make sure you keep a copy for yourself. Get it in the mail, and do not worry. ~ Gretchen Quote
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 I have the SSI review every year. They ask if you have moved anyone in or out of your house. How much money you have in the back. If anyone has given you money or food. If you are able to dress and cook for yourself. If you have anything of value in the house, if you have any cash on hand. If you have the same car or cars... If you have worked at all. A few other little questions that I can't remember.. They send your answers to you in the mail. I think you sign them. Somethings may have changed now that SSI is trying to go paperless. Quote
