Thats what we want-no review.

The statutes would have to be repealed for there to be no reviews.

Do you REALLY believe that NO ONE should be reviewed? No one can have medical improvement? Or everyone but you?

Section 221(i) of the Social Security Act, as amended, requires a periodic continuing eligibility review for disabled beneficiaries at least every 3 years except where a finding has been made that such disability is permanent. Reviews of cases involving permanent disability are made at such times as the Commissioner determines appropriate. This review is called a continuing disability review (CDR).

Section 1614(a)(3) of the Act provides for periodic review of eligibility for Supplemental Security Income, based on disability or blindness. These reviews are either called CDRs or, in the case of the age 18 review, a redetermination.

Do the majority pass their review without a problem? If one is taking their presrcibed meds and fllowing up with docs they should be fine-or no?

If your condition remains the same or worsens,then there shouldn't be a problem with a review as long as like you say ,take the meds and see your doctor.

I got my letter today, it don't say anything about a review. It just says that they found me 100% disabled because of severe osteoarthritis, seizure disorder, severe hearing loss and a couple of others. It says that I would be paid back-pay to August 2009 when I actually had to quit working. And I would receive monthly benefits checks. I don't know if this means a review or not but it says I am insured until Dec 31 2013. My file has been sent to another office for payment arrangements.

About a review, I am not really worried about it. My orthopedic Dr. said today my thigh bone is fracturing where the implant is attached to it. He has know idea why or what to do about it at this point. He is going to talk with some specialist from UAB Birmingham and see what they can do.

I wasn't talking about everybody, just about me and Rickey(both in our 50s). We both are in the same boat(cervical spine arthritis). I,for ,one,have severe degenerative arthritis. Everyday my fingers are curving more outwards(ulnar deviation,joint instability). Painkillers do nothing to relieve pain. I also have a heart condition and using anti-inflamatory medications for arthritis effects heart medications.I even called SSA about reviews and there is a good chance I will never be reviewed.
