I personally would not do anything to bring attention to myself while a review mailer is being processed. nothing good can come of it. in this case the squeaky wheel may get more than it bargained for. patience is called for in this case. some people who have posted here have never heard back and their ssdi continues!
as far as 3 year reviews, some are on time but i have heard of many people with three year review dates not being reviewed even after 5-7 years.

OK, I see your point about bringing attention to yourself. My point is that I will follow all the rules and schedules, based on the information sent to me. The way I see it, if you are truly disabled by social security guidelines, you have nothing to worry about, especially if you have continued to seek treatment and have medical records supporting your case. On the other hand...a person "may get more than they bargained for."
