Social Security disability

[Guest guest]

I am not eligible for welfare. I have decided to forget about it and be happy that I have a check coming in for life. I just have to be careful how I spend it.

When my husband who had COPD was approved, he was told that he would be revaulated every 3 or 5 years and I believe some people were told 7 years. It has been so long, but I don't remember if he was revaluated the first 3 or 5 years or not but I know he wasn't revaluated a second time. I was told by a friend that she had heard that they don't revaulate you again after you reach a certain age, which I believe was 59 at that time. This has been so long ago, I may have the age wrong. But I do know he wasn't revaulated again after he reached a certain age. Whether the information I received was correct or not I don't know, but he was not revaluated again. Marcia
