Hi everybody! New question from me. My husband was just recently approved for SSDI. His case wasnt denied at any point, he applied, case went to quality review then he was fine to go.

In the mail he did not recieve any letter of approval or award letter. I'm not sure why? Anyway,we found out he won by calling the 800# and then our local SSA office.

My reason for this post is that just yesterday(Saturday) we received a copy of his award letter that we needed for my husband to extend his Cobra benefits. But when we read what he was approved on there is a error. My husband has many health issues- Depression,anxiety, Irritable bowel, epilpesy and a type of Arthrits called-Reiters syndrome.

But he letter reads- Primary disability - Epilepsy ( Which is correct, because that is his main problem. Then it reads- secondary disability-Rheumatoid arthritis when he actually has - Reiters syndrome arthritis.

So my question is, will this be a problem come reveiw time? His review is set at 3 yrs, they said because he is so young-43, that they will review his at least every 3 years.

Should I call the 800# or go to the local SSA office? And is there any chance this error could cause his case to be looked at all over again?

Or is this not a big deal since its the secondary disability? Or are both the primary and secondary reviewed exactly the same?


Sorry for all the questions. I'm just suffering from anxiety myself due to our financial situation, my husbands health and keeping up with the children.

Any info/help would be great!

Thanks again
