Hi, i am new here and am on disability, i got a 6 question disability update report and sent it back over a month ago. does any one here know how long it should take to get something back from them. Thanks Rich.

Is this part of the review some of us have to get. Mine is a 3 year review. I am up for my first 1 next July?

Yes, this is a 3 year review, it is form ssa-455-ocr-sm. it only has 6 questions and gets scanned at some center. I have bad anxiety and everyday i dont get a something in the mail i get depressed. I dont know if there is a backlog or it just takes a few months.

Yes this is my 3 year review, it is form ssa-455-ocr-sm and has only 6 questions, it goes to a social security center where it gets scanned and then let you know if they need to do a full review. I have bad anxiety and every day i dont get any mail from them i get depressed.
i dont know if there is a backlog or it got lost in the mail or if it is just taking a long time to get anything back. do you know anything about this?

After reading your note, I researched the form, and there is some information in the instructions that says, "We will tell you within 90 days after we receive the completed report whether or not we will need to do a full medical review now."

So, based on that statement, you should receive information within 90 days. If you haven't received anything from SSA after 90 days, I would call them and ask the status of the Disability Update Report.

Here is a link to the report for those of you who may be interested in it. You have to scroll up and down to get the information in order of the pages.

If you dont mind me asking. What disability do you suffer from? Its not easy finding review info on this forum. But my guess is they will be focussed much on if you work now. And if you discussed with your current doctor if he feels you can work, that question I feel is a joke though. Seems to favor SSA a little too much. Just because they have the doctor label does not give them a special gift to know how you personally feel mentally and physically.

Can anyone else here chime in? Nobody here had a review?

I wish you the best! Keep us updated!!

*admin edit* Social security offices are backed up all over the nation in doing reviews and getting the reviews they are sending out done. People have waited much longer than 3 months to hear back. Personally i would not rock the boat and would not contact them unless you hear back from them first. let the update report wind its way through the system at its own pace. if SS needs more from you they will let you know. You are receiving your disability so there is no need to rush this.

Hi, My main disability is arthritis, CFS, chronic bone pain,degenerative disc of lumbar spine and chronic anxiety, i also have Osteoporosis, endocrine disorder, monoclonal gammopathy and fibro. i am Hep c+ and went through treatment about 8 years ago, it is in remission now.

hi rich,i am on disibility for some mental health issues and i also recently completed the 6 question update report.social security replied back to me a few weeks after i sent in the update form.they told me in their letter that they didn't need to review my case at this time...

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.
