Continuing Disability Review Guide

After disability benefits are granted the Social Security Administration will review cases to determine if the beneficiary still deserves the benefits. These reviews are called Continuing Disability Reviews or CDR for short.

CDRs can take place at any time while a person is receiving benefits. However, they are most likely to occur within twelve to twenty-four months after benefits are awarded, but can be in as little as six months or as long as seven years. The average is every three years. Reviews may continue periodically throughout the remainder of a person’s life as long as they remain on Social Security disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Now that I look back, although I’ve been asked thousands of times about my spouse’s well-being, very few people have ever asked me, “How are YOU doing?” Only a care giving spouse can really understand the trials, stresses and physical toll the duty demands. Unfortunately caring for a spouse often ends in separation or divorce but it does not have to. Care giving spousal support is available.
