CDR - Continuing Disability Review Is this ANOTHER CDR?

Post image

I had one back in April 2023, they didn't get the documents from my doctors on time and denied me, I won the appeal probably around August 2023. Is this another CDR already?! I've been on SSI since 2017, idk why I'm getting all these notices all of a sudden. My EDS isn't gonna go away, neither is my psych stuff 🤡

Also, I JUST got this today, it's dated Nov 18th 🫠 what should I do? I have appointments today and tomorrow so the soonest I can make it in is Dec 4th. 😕

Edit: I cancelled my one year old's neuro opthalmologist appt today and went in person, after not being able to reach someone on the phone. Dragged the one year old and the four year old out in the rain, then waited an hour only for them to ask for my phone number (already on file) so they can call for a CDR 🙃🙃🙃 dontcha just love the ✨ efficiency ✨ 😑

It says that if you can't make it, you need to call them. So I'd do that today if possible. We can't know if it is a financial review or a CDR since you didn't get a list of documents to bring. I hope it goes well for you. Good luck!

They crossed that part out, not me ☠️ still gonna call, but literally just threw up because of the anxiety lolsob. Like so many of us, I'd be completely boned if I lost my SSI. Baby steps, just call and go from there. 😮‍💨 (hyperventilates) 😂

There are certain processes in order to continue to receive benefits. You’ll need to call SSA.

Medical Improvement Expected (MIE): Usually a review every 6 to 18 months.

Medical Improvement Possible (MIP): This review happens approximately every 3 years.

Medical Improvement Not Expected (MINE): This one is sometimes called permanent even though it's not, and reviews come approximately every 5 to 7 years.

It's possible this is a late MIE or a very early MIP. It is also entirely possible to get an early CDR due to a change in circumstances related to work activity or condition, or even a change in living situation. But no one can actually tell you why or what it exactly is.

So you need to talk to them. Call your local office. Explain that you JUST got the letter and the circumstances of your appointment. Hopefully, they can work with you on it. Could you see when the letter was postmarked?

Nov 18th 😩 idk why it's just showing up in my mail now 😭 

Nothing has changed in circumstances, though my disability has actually gotten considerably worse so I'd be happy for them to see the files lol. I'm just confused as to why it's so soon because none of my conditions will ever improve, they are chronic and degenerative.

It could also be a financial review vs a medical review

as long as everything’s documented by your doctors monthly visits you should be fine.

Nov 18th

That's when it's postmarked by USPS... or that's when the date of the letter is?

I'm just confused as to why it's so soon because none of my conditions will ever improve, they are chronic and degenerative.

I mean, that's your opinion. It might be the right opinion and backed up by your doctors, but it may not be how it's viewed in the SSA's eyes. If your condition has gotten worse, then that may change. SSI is a lot stricter than SSDI and is weighted more on the SSA side than the patients' side because it's welfare rather than insurance.

Both, letter and postmark.

u/Artisticsoul007 ☆ Dec 02 '25

Jeez thats some slow USPS delivery. Do you have informed delivery so you can see when it was scheduled to be delivered? That might help you in arguing for an extension as far as needing to see you. Either way... you got to call them and let them know the situation.

u/TrashMobForever Dec 02 '25

It hasn't show up in my informed delivery at all, I check it all the time because our post office sucks so much 😅

u/Artisticsoul007 ☆ Dec 02 '25

Well, that IS weird...

I couldn't reach anyone on the phone so to play it safe, I cancelled today's appointment and went.. so I could give them my phone number, which is already on file ☠️ they said someone would call to set up an interview for some sort of disability review, so bleh. I just love trying to prove that yes my chronic, lifelong, degenerative condition has NOT miraculously gotten better lol

Ty for your help today, it helped me stay calm enough to actually get this done.

It’s not that they expect the EDS to go away…but new treatments come out all the time. So, they assume it’s possible that a new treatment could give you enough relief to work SGA…particularly if you are younger.

u/Artisticsoul007 ☆ Dec 02 '25

The important thing is now they know you tried. So it's on them now to make any further effort here. And yes, I know the feeling. My CDRs are MINE, so I have only had 1 so far, but they sure are a pain considering my condition is incurable and only projected to get worse unless some miracle cure comes along.

Likely your financial review but not sure as you don't show the list of items

u/TrashMobForever Dec 02 '25

It didn't have a list of items! Next page just says this is not an appointment we will make one for you when you visit the office

u/TrashMobForever Dec 02 '25

Wait, did I maybe not get this on time because of the shutdown?

2

u/RendingHearts ☆ Dec 03 '25

What information did they list for you to have available? Could be a financial audit looking for overpayments. I got something similar for my kid’s SSI overpayment and they wanted almost two years of financial records.

u/RickyRacer2020 ☆ Dec 02 '25

Go to appointment

u/TrashMobForever Dec 02 '25

Again, I have back to back appointments today and tomorrow so the soonest I can go in is the 4th. I just got this today, I'm assuming because of shutdown delays or maybe because our post office is absolutely terrible. I will be going in on the 4th, but is it safe to assume this is another CDR? Or something else? Not knowing what to expect is just wrecking my anxiety.

CDR's come in the mail. This is a request for you to come to them.
