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.

kelley,i know several people who were approved for ssdi benefits over the past several years for various ailments and conditions.and like yourself they were all put on a 1 year review status for the cdr review.however,because of the back-log of disibility claims and reviews those 1 year reviews have turned into 5 and sometimes maybe 6 years before they were reviewed by social security.i myself when first approved for ssdi benefits in 1996 was given a 1 year review interval.my first review after being approved for benefits in 1996 was in 2001 so i wouldn't worry to much about the 1 year review thingy.however,as lit-love and others have mentioned on this forum you need to continue seeing your doctors on a regular basis and take any medications while your recieving ssdi benefits so that when the time comes for social security to review your disibility case provided your not working you will have all of the evidence you need to prove to social security that you are still severly disabled and to continue your benefits.gil...
