What to do during a Disability review

When we do a Disability review, you must submit a report.

We sometimes check to see if you still have a disability. This process is called a Continuing Disability Review.

When it’s time to review your Disability case, we’ll mail you a letter asking you to fill out a report. We’ll ask questions about your health and daily life.

After you submit your report

We’ll look over your Continuing Disability Review Report to make sure we have all the information we need. Then, we’ll send your case to an examiner at your state’s Disability Determination Services (DDS). 

The examiner will contact you. They might ask you to fill out more forms or schedule a medical exam.

When we finish our review, we’ll mail you a letter with our decision. If we decide you are no longer eligible for Disability benefits, we’ll also tell you how to appeal.
