Disability for those over 50: Continuing Disability Review and retirement

[@billyclinton8965]

I love how this attorney explains things!

[@judithschrag3115]

Thank you so very much for creating your video and explaining how and when SSDI reviews occur. I soon will be 66. Today, for who knows what reason, I realized that I have never had to have a review. I think that I was approved for SSDI about 4-5 years ago. Now I can rest easy knowing that it is unlikely that I will have to have a review! Thank you so very much for clearly articulately why my SSDI will convert to "retirement". I am most appreciative!!!!!

[@pearlbeachel6512]

I have watched a few of your videos trying to understand SSDI which for me will start in March of 2018. I have found them very informative. TY

[@verderymcdaniel2322]

Hello sir thank you for your information I've been on SSD for four years now and I'll be 62 in November and I've been waiting for my review and my symptoms has gotten worse and now I have heart problems along with COPD asthma bronchitis. And I just wanted to thank you again for the info.

[@SusanThomas-po5zh]

I watch his videos even if it doesn't relate to me 🙂

I am 56 this year and pay scale was based on what I would get 70 years old for monthly benefits will that change or stay the same and I have been on disability around 11 years and I was told I worked enough to be 58 years old in work hours will my benefits be taken from me or stay the same I am in a electric Wheelchair to get around and had 12 surgeries and around 3 more till I 70 years old

[@lorishoffeitt4792]

I’m 64 is there paperwork to do or does my ssdi automatically change over

[@blueeyedangel4774]

Got a CDR in the mail on July 20,2018...about 2-3 weeks before my 50th birthday...August 11, 2018...no improvements in health but I'm still worried about being denied. I had to take my case in front of the ALJ. Been on disability alittle over 4 years now

[@eloise7600]

Pebbles Reaves How did everything turn out for you? I just got a short form CDR and was wondering do I add an additional paperwork or just fill out what they sent? I do pray that everything went well with you.

[@anthonycoleman9593]

@@eloise7600 I was wondering the same thing.

[@eloise7600]

Anthony Coleman Just FYI - they continued my benefits. I’m so grateful being that my health has declined sufficiently.

[@anthonycoleman9593]

@@eloise7600 Congratulations.

[@princesstgabriel5812]

@@eloise7600 hi asking for my aunt who just received the short form Do she put her dr told her she could not work or she discussed it with him.She had open heart surgery not long ago

[@dantemikey]

So is it forms for the review they will send you for us to fill out? Should we collect documents and doctor visits together to send in with forms?

[@eloise7600]

Garage Of Horror Did you ever get an answer to this question?

[@flippingforreal109]

If your 50 or over SSI/SSD already know the job market were that age group is concern there are no jobs. So even if they do a review which I find highly unlikely that they will cancel benefits. I think they are just trying to make sure that their is no fraud involved.

[@ReevesfirmDisabilityLaw]

I usually stress to my older clients (over the age of 50) that a review is probably not likely but extremely possible. The closer you get to retirement age, the less likely a review. However, we recently experienced an increase in reviews in 2016 so I caution people to never think they won't get a review just because of their age.

[@flippingforreal109]

Thanks

[@iwuvmybigfamily]

Reeves Law Firm, P.A. - I received a review letter back in December 2016, and I'm 53 years old. I filled it out and got a letter back saying that they would review me again at a later date and my disability benefits would continue for now. I've had 2 strokes since I went on disability in 2015.

[@LLJR]

forrealgirl 42 What A Doctor at the Veterans Hospital told is they are seeing if you reply to the letter if you don’t than it gives them reason to cancel your benefits

[@thebootielover]

@@ReevesfirmDisabilityLaw So given what you said in the video, what do you think my chances are for SSDI approval with my age 63, HIV, High Blood Pressure and diabetic neuropathy?

[@Earthtime3978]

I was approved at 58 and I could get a review in 5-7 years. At minimum I’ll be 63. I wonder if I’ll get one?

[@LLJR]

I’m 53 on SSDI and VA Compensation when I get review letters I write I’m Permanent and Total Disabled for a brain injury so no I don’t get better from that

[@miss.phyllisreneefoster9547]

thank you so much for this video

[@john_n_griffin]

I'm 53. Does it make a difference that I got the long form 3yrs ago to getting the short form now? I said I felt my condition was the same. What will happen? Will I lose benefits or what now?

[@tashitenzin8188]

thank you

[@stevedresen8497]

Sweet and to the point!

[@SusanThomas-po5zh]

I was found disabled at 54. Please read ''What you need to know if you are receiving SSDI'. Call ss they will send one.

[@CibaoNation]

How about for those on SSI after 65 will they continue to have CDR?

[@richardprovost8352]

CDR Reviews are strictly under Workers Compensation SSD Claims Full offset

[@leegary3941]

I have had my dsp for two and a half years. I am almost 52 and I called to express my concerns about getting a letter to be reviewed. She was abrupt and told me older people won't be getting out of the review and if we stop your payments you have to go onto new start and find work.

[@Mindraker1]

"Retirement age" varies depending on when you were born. So do look this up.

[@joemark7559]

im 54 with conjestivie heart failure what happens in my case

[@john_n_griffin]

I have that too. Had 2 massive heart attacks. Has my heart operating at 45%. My first review it had gone up to 46%, but everything was the same. Doc said it would probably never improve to past 55%. Had 2 strokes too. Still have the effects of paralysis on both sides. Now this time I get the short form, yet I'm still worried about losing my benefits.

[@dantemikey]

Nice videos...so what do u recommend to do.I just received fully favorable decision and I’m 44.It said 24 months I will be getting a review.So what’s the best thing to do for someone like me to make sure I’m still receiving my benefits that I deserve? Thanks

[@paris61795]

You have to continue to see your doctor and receive treatment regularly. Also, make sure they are charting your disabilities in their doctor's notes. They need to be sure to document your limitations and that they are not improved or are worsening.

[@deangermeten5629]

I heard somewhere that there's a maximum amount people receive on disability and then they get cut off, or is $300K just the average most receive over their lifetime?

[@BDRHDG]
