If you dont me asking, how old are you? I ask because my husband was also approved on a Neurological issue and they put him on a 1 yr review. When I called and asked why so soon, they responded by saying his age-43. Maybe age is your factor?

And like mentioned below, I would hope that SSDI would continue if one continued to see their doctors and take their prescribed medications. The work program does not seem right to me, many I heard lost their benefits because they worked while on SSDI, yet others said the opposite.

Were you approved on SSDI for brain damage?What condition did they exactly approve you on?

Good luck. Keep us posted!!

The letter stated that the doctors expect my condition to approve but I think that the problem is that the doctors that filled out the information were the doctors treating some of the symptoms not the actual condition. I only saw the doctor for the actual condition 6 times or so and then he told me that the brain injury is most likeley permanant, but I need to see the other specialists to treat some of the symptoms like ( neurologist for migranes, psychiatrist for anxiety, depression, anger issues).

The person that filled out my information only wanted to doctors information that I have seen in the last 6 months which were not the two that gave me the permanant disability diagnosis. I know I shouldn't worry about it, but I would hate to have to worry about losing the ssdi every year.
