i was approved for ssdi aug 2003 dating back to dec 2000. i will be 63 in feb 2007,i have never had a cdr and my notice of approval nor my award letter states when i could expect to have one, in the alj's letter he states i could not be expected to return to work,based upon residual funictional capacity and vocational adjustment.

i have had fusion to lower back,asthma,osteoporosis.arthritis.duptyrens contractures of both hands.gerds,chronic and acute sciatic pain with weakness and diminished feelings in left lower leg and all the way under the foot,have had a stress fracture of pelvis that has not healed in 3 years,not to mention the mental stress that goes along with being disabled. i had worked since i was 14 years of age

Do you think i will have a cdr,or what can i expect? i would have had to work until i was 66 to receive full benefits.
