Possibly. The short OCR form is reviewed by a computer. If you fill it out properly, take your meds, regularly see a doc, claim your condition is unchanged, do no work, in most cases you'll get the letter stating your benefits will continue.

If it gets kicked by an error, than human judgement comes into play. You might get the long form, which you're supposed to treat as if it's your initial application. You might get sent back to SS docs again.

Having to deal with the long form would be as fun as having a root canal IMO.

The CDR link explains all this in-depth.
