Are his seizures still happening at the frequency they were when he was allowed?

Also, there has been quite a delay in doing CDRs. Although you expect him to be reviewed this year, it may not be for a couple more years. SSA has been working to catch up on CDRs, but with budget cuts, their first priority is handling new applications and reconsiderations.
