I'm continuing to receive payments and when I visited the SSA office (yesterday), I told them my form was mailed and they informed me that I shouldn't have to worry about payment for January stopping and usually they will send something out if they stop. Anyway, I completed the form noting that I did not work during the periods they need info for, me and my doctor have not discussed working (I checked this box), my functioning "SAME" (checked box) have not completed any school or training (checked box). Question#5 They asked for appointments since June 2013, since the space was so limited I only listed my last two appointments (they have three spaces on form. I only listed two appointments) which were 10/2015 and 12/2015 (current). On question #6 I noted that I spent a night in the hospital(depression mental condition) on 6/2015 and I was brief in the remarks section (saying) "I am relying on mental supportive programs and living facilities"

I am wondering if I will be ok (Red Flags). I realize (after I finished and sent off) that I didn't list any appointments for 2013

You should answer the questions honestly. If you did that, you did the right thing. The only right answers are the honest answers. If it "raises red flags" then that is the rightful consequence.

None of this means that your checks are going to stop. This is a process that you and everyone else must go through. SSDI and SSI are not lifetime awards.

However, the percentage of recipients who have their benefits stopped is small. And surely you agree that SSDI and SSI should only be paid to the truly disabled. Unfortunately, the applicants don't get to decide that they meet the requirements.

Live your life. A decision will be made. May be quick. May take awhile.
