I have been told that if you win your SSDI case, you'll be up for review after so long a time. I received my Award letter and nothing was mentioned about if and when I would be up for review. Anybody know?

I turned 55 a moth later they said I was advanced age.and would need simple no stres type of job but there were not many where I lived..So he went on to say He approved me..I hadn't heard anything about.. having to go back after a few years,,God Bless..Kim

It is usually 2 years after you are awarded. Thats how it was for my husband. He is 33 and has had 2 open heart surgeries and is now in Congestive Heart Failure.......good luck

You will receive (I did) a booklet that will tell you when you can expect to have a reevaluation. They said I should receive mine in 5-7 years. There is usually three different criteria used

1. Likely to improve.....Reevaluation 6-18 months after approval

2. improvement possible .........reeval after 3 years

3. improvement not likely.....reeval 5-7 years

this is what the information they sent me said anyway..I did not receive it until about 2 months after receiving my back pay...Just got it last week
