Preparing For Disability Case Review

People who have been awarded with disability benefits

, be it under the SSI or the SSDI, will be required to undergo case reviews from time to time to prove that they are still unable to do substantial gainful activity in order to earn income.

Beneficiaries, however, must not panic because from the time their application for the benefits have been granted, they will also be informed of when their disability case review will be. The frequency of these reviews will be determined by the severity of the disability as initially determined by the SSA.

Here are some tips that should help the disabled maintain their benefits:

* Prepare your medical records. Your medical condition is the most important factor in determining your eligibility to continuously receive disability benefits. Make sure that all your medical records are in order and are ready weeks before the actual case review.

* Never force yourself to work. Forcing yourself to work will not only jeopardize your existing health condition but can also cause forfeiture of your benefits. This is because if the agency finds that you are able to work and earn substantial income, then you are not eligible to receive SSI benefits even if your ability to work comes with immense pain and hardships.

* Maintain a good relationship with your attending physician. Your physicians opinion about your medical condition will greatly matter in disability case review. Never lie to him and let him know if you think your condition is getting worse.

* Be careful of what you are saying. Comments to your physician and even jokes to the agency personnel, like you are strong enough to do heavy work, may affect your eligibility especially when a case review is coming up. Avoid making such comments and always be reminded that the physicians opinion about your condition will be sought.

Unless there is an improvement on either the financial status or the medical condition of the patient, it will be hard for the agency to prove that he is not disabled and so the payment of benefits must cease. Abiding by the above guidelines should aid the worker who needs the help of the government in order to pay for his necessities.

For those who have been rejected in their application for disability benefits, they must consult with a Los Angeles social security disability lawyer who will assist in appealing the agencys decision regarding his disability. These experts can also answer specific questions of people who want to continue receiving benefits.
