Thanks for the reply, I feel a lot better!

Similar to Walkingtaller I put PSYCH Treatment for my last three appointments... on my short form that I received in February.


Walkingtaller said,
When I received my last disability update report (short form - continuing disabilty review) I put the following on the 3 lines for my last 3 "reasons for visit": medication, counseling, prescriptions.

I didn't put my original diagnosis or any diagnosis at all on this particular form.

I had been having psych appointment every month and I did list those dates


Personally in 2010 I got the dreaded long form (MY FIRST CDR) and then was referred to their doctor for consultative Examination. It was scary and frustrating as I had been in monthly treatment for Bipolar Disorder and Anxiety. Needless to say from August 2010 to Nov 2010 following the form and the Con. Examination until I received the letter stating my benefits were continuing was a stressful period, so trust me when I say, we all get it and sympathize.

Just like you I received the short form this time and just like Walkingtaller I put not the diagnosis but "PSYCH TREATMENT".

As of 3/8/14 I haven't' received anything back and I sent it in on 2/16/14.

As long as you are receiving active treatment and your condition hasn't improved and you aren't earning substantial income you should be fine. Even if its pulled for whatever reason the rules are on your side.

If mine gets flagged or randomly pulled I have all my documentation, appointments, and prescription scripts ready and I recommend everyone do the same thing.

With all this being said, chances are you will be fine, but let us know how it works out!

SSDI,
I just sent mine in last month. I put psych, pain management and psych for mine. My original disability is neck and back. SS has got to know that people arent gonna be seeing, like in my case, my ortho doctor all the time. There comes a point when the doctor cant do anything more, then off you more surgery.
Personally, i believe seeing your family doctor on a regular basis, should be just as important, because they really are your lead doctor and will send you to where you need to go.

If SS wants to know just doctors you go to for treatment for your original disability, then they should state that and not hold it against you if your last 3 visits to doctors werent directly related to your original disability.
Hell one of my last 3 visits was to heart doctor for all kinds of medical tests, but i actually didnt list that visit.

Just going to doctors for treatments should be good

good luck

Thanks for your answer. Apparently what I put down was okay because I just got a letter saying they would not be doing a review at this time. Glad thats over, it was my first CDR, I learned alot and will be better prepared next time, emotionally that is, so stressful I thought I was going to have to go through the whole approval system again! Thanks everyone for your support!

It's your livelihood, it's natural to stress out when feeling someone or something else is in control.

I'm glad you got the news that you are set for now.

I forgot the recent dates for my doctors what do I do to get them please help me
Thanks linda **
