Raider, call and get another copy. fill in just the spaces for the last 3 doctors visits that pertain to why you receive disability. for example if you are getting it because of more than one disease or condition make sure the last 3 visits you list reflect that. so if its say neurological and pulmonary make sure that you put your last visit for neurological and pulmonary even if your actual last 3 doctors visits were not one of them. only fill in the boxes. stop mid word if you have to do not write anything else on the form or in remarks section. this will cause your form to have to be evaluated by a person and you dont want that.

this is a helpful site for filling out cdr's

It was after his following my link to that site that made him realize there was an issue with how he had started out filling out the form... ;)

I've heard if you request a new form they send you one thats read manually because a private company sends the computer genenerated one
??????

6 question form vs 10 page report....
 

hi rich,social security sends 2 different types of forms to people when they are up for review.1 is a 10 page report which is simular to the report you filled out when first applying for disibility.the 2nd form in which your refereing to is called the (easy form) which is the 6 question form you recievied.social security only sends the 6 question form out to people who's disibility isn't most likely to improve and chances are when you recieve a reply from social security your benefits are going to continue.

I believe I asked this before. But if one on SSDI is still taking their medication for what they were approved for, seeing docs on a regular basis and not working. Do they still have to be concerned of possibly losing their benefits?

Possibly. The short OCR form is reviewed by a computer. If you fill it out properly, take your meds, regularly see a doc, claim your condition is unchanged, do no work, in most cases you'll get the letter stating your benefits will continue.

If it gets kicked by an error, than human judgement comes into play. You might get the long form, which you're supposed to treat as if it's your initial application. You might get sent back to SS docs again.

Having to deal with the long form would be as fun as having a root canal IMO.

The CDR link explains all this in-depth.

So if one gets the long form, its like re-applying all over again? Even though one was already approved and following doctors orders?

You're supposed to treat it that way, yes.

I see you found my SHOCKING thread. You'll find the CDR statistics there as well under the DDS section. I thought very few people lost benefits once approved. The numbers are rising. SSDI beneficiaries fare better with CDRs than those collecting SSI.

Look at AZ for example. 25% lose SSDI, 40% lose SSI after a CDR. Yikes

I just hope they are going after the proper individuals who are robbing it from those who really are disabled. Its sad when you have a true disabilty and your denied and put through such stress, yet others with a so called bad back are out playing golf,working and still collecting disability.

And the link you posted was great (Thank You).Some of those numbers were a bit shocking yes.Being so new to this SSDI thing I had no clue that many lost their benefits when review time came.

Do you personally know anyone who lost their benefits? If so why?

Hope everybody is well!
