What Happens During a Continuing Disability Review?

A continuing disability review (CDR) is Social Security’s process for checking whether you still qualify for disability benefits under its rules. You may receive forms about medical treatment, daily activities, and work. Social Security may also request medical records or an exam.

What this usually means

• CDRs are a normal part of many disability cases
• Incomplete forms can cause problems
• A CDR can end with continuation or a proposed cessation

What to do next

• Open CDR mail immediately
• List all doctors and recent treatment
• Return forms by the due date
• Keep copies of everything you send

How advocacy can help

Help completing and tracking CDR paperwork can reduce avoidable mistakes. See benefit reviews & reinstatement.
