Yeah, I would think that folks closer to retirement and closer to collecting social security anyways are less likely to be reviewed when there is such a backlog..
I'm 32 and started collecting social security when I was 18 and haven't been reviewed ever.. when I was 18-31 I was collecting SSI, which has now been turned into survivors SSDI.. I was diagnosed with 'schizaffective' (or bipolar with slight schizo tendencies) which was labeled 'improvement not likely' (7 year window).. hopefully cases with 'improvement not likely' attached to them have the same fortune as mature folks in terms of likelihood of CDR.. the backlog issue was real, but I unfortunately heard that the government passed something, like a sum of money to SSA recently to start cutting that backlog (hopefully this is not the case) |

As you near your "normal" retirement age, you will get a letter (retirement package) from SS advising you that your "current" SSDI amount will convert to "retirement" SS. You will be given a choice of which amount you want, your SSDI or the "normal" SS retirement amount. At least this holds true for "us" Baby Boomers. If the "Disability" laws have changed regarding "retirement funds," "us" Baby Boomers are grandfathered in under the old law. I have to check my paperwork and/or wait until I get my "retirement package from SSDI" to see what they say about "us" Baby Boomers collecting early retirement SS. Do we have a choice? |
