They can answer questions but have no authority to trigger a review. Ask what your review schedule is and ask what priority your med cdr shows. If your review period is longer than 3 years and/or the cdr priority is low (they don't always show a priority) it's unlikely you'll have a full med review. if it's your first review, it's also unlikely. And the stuff you listed on your form is fine. A lot of that you deal with due to your condition. Quit worrying over the small stuff! :-) also, if the first person you talk to can't tell you those answers, call back. Some TSRs are more efficient than others.

Triggering the long form CDR would be a MAJOR inconvenience for many of us.

I would not advise anyone call the 800# unnecessarily. I've read that when certain areas of a person's file is accessed, the program, not the employee will send a CDR early. Also, SS lists a person's schedule and their priority on the second line of their CDR form and often on their FF decision.

Whether it's someone's first review or not does not make a difference. It's very clear that certain responses will mean they undergo a long form CDR.
priority on the second line k.

It's been almost three months and haven't received a letter saying that I won't be reviewed. Should I be worried or is it expect? What's the average time frame for waiting for a reply from a short form CFR?

I did however receive an award letter stating that I would be getting an increase in benefits. I am not sure if this reflects positively or not.

TY again.

No need to worry at 3 months, it can take up to 6. You'll receive a letter if you have to go through the long form, or you'll receive a letter stating no further review is needed at this time.

Yeah. I thought that it would be a good sign that I would be receiving a letter that I won't be reviewed at this time.

Also thought that the 3 month waiting time might have been a sign that I would be reviewed since it seems people get their acceptance letters so soon (for short form replies).

Thank you Lit Love.

Section 5 disability update form

I have a question about the section 5 and reasone for seing doctor. I see a therapist weekly and a pschiatrist every 3 months. So in June I saw them both. Therefore I should put PTSD Therapy June, PTSD psychotherapy June and PTSD Therapy May? Will two visits in June trigger anything. Techincally I could put PTSD medications for June also but then this would be June for all 3 places. Not sure which ones to put. Please advise.

Sigh! I'm sending out mine today!
Reason for Doctor's visit? Pain Management, Back Pain, Chronic Pain. I go Every month to renew my pain meds. I did list them on the Remark Section.
I pray I do not get the long form....I am in so much pain & tired.
3 failed back surgeries, knee surgery, the other knee has a torn meniscus & neck implant at C5, C4 is herniated/protruding disc.
T4-5 herniated. Depression. Thanks to a car accident 10 years ago, I can hardly walk today. Now is Hip Pain....I can't Take it! It is exhausting just getting out of bed. :(

according to this http://nymakesworkpay.org/docs/Guide_CDR.pdf you should just Use original diagnosis. Under “Reason for Last Visit,” use
the same diagnosis for which the individual was originally
approved.
