Angry my brothers ssdi benefits were terminated.

hi folks,recently my brother who was collecting ssdi benefits for about 8 years for some back problems and depression had his ssdi benefits terminated.about 9 month's ago he started working a part-time job for a friend of his who owns a catering buisness.he thought he was safe working below the sga guidlines which for 2011 is $1,000.00 a month.he was earning roughly 800.00 per month working part-time.anyway,his disibility case was recently reviewed by the social security administration.he recieved a letter in the mail recently about 3 weeks after his review and the letter said that his ssdi benefits were being ceased.the letter said that due to the fact that he was able to hold a job for approx 9 month's and that even though he was working below the sga guidlines of what you can earn and still keep your benefits they said that he has demonstrated the ability to be self-suportive and that his condition has improved to the point where he can no longer be considered disabled under social security rules.he is appealing the decision none the less.
