Will my disability case be reviewed after I have been approved for disability benefits ?Yes, your disability case will be periodically reviewed to ascertain if there has been medical improvement. Most individuals have a continuing medical review every three years or so. Although, there are some disability claims that will be reviewed more often because medical improvement was thought to be likely (at the time the disability case was approved). Some individuals will have medical reviews every seven years or so, because medical improvement was considered by a disability examiner or disability judge to be very unlikely. Medical reviews are a fact of the Social Security disability, SSI system; therefore you should not be upset when the time comes for your disability case to be reviewed. Nor should you worry too much about the outcome. The fact of the matter is, the majority of all social security disability and SSI disability cases that are reviewed are continued---in other words, the benefits are continued. In actuality, a review of your case is much the same as when you first applied. Continuing medical reviews involve updating your medical sources, investigating any work activity, and a medical review decision from the state medical disability service. The vast majority of continuing medical reviews, of course, are favorable to the individual. However, should you have a negative decision you have appeal rights and you may choose to find representation to assist you. For more information on: Social Security Disability and SSI Disability.
