I've been on SSDI for 4 years. I have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, migraines and DDD. I haven't worked, go to my doctor regularly and have had to increase my medications since my pain has increased.

I am in the process of being reviewed by Social Security. They sent me to a doctor and he "examined" me. It was a really bizarre appointment.

I'm worried that reviewing my medical records, alone, didn't satisfy Social Security and they had me seen by their doctor? Is this typical? Should I be worried about getting kicked off?

My treating physician said not to worry as I've actually gotten worse since I was initially approved by Soc. Sec.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
