Social Security Disability Medical ReviewOnce you have been approved for disability you will begin receiving your monthly benefit from Social Security, and periodically Social Security will conduct a medical review of your claim. Most individuals will have a medical review every three years, although some individuals receive medical reviews every seven years. Individuals with seven-year review date have conditions that are usually permanent, and are not likely to improve. The medical review process sometimes includes a face-to-face interview, however it can be done by mail or telephone interview. Social Security requests an update on your medical information, work, or educational activities, and sends the information to the state disability agency to determine if you have had any medical improvement since your began receiving disability or your last review. If there has been not determinable improvement in your medical and/or mental condition, you will continue to receive your disability benefits. However, if medical improvement in your disabling condition has been documented, you may lose your entitlement to a disability benefit. This is known as a disability cessation, and you have right to appeal Social Security’s decision, additionally while you are waiting you are allowed to continue your disability benefit, and if you appeal your cessation within ten days you may request the payment continuation. Remember, even if you miss the ten-day payment continuation deadline, you still can appeal you disability cessation within the sixty-day appeal period.
