Well, yes you can get reinstated, but you don't get a new trial work period. (Where you can earn any amount and still get SSDI.)
And yes, they can and do kick you off if they determine you are able to work. However, all this is my experience only. Also, I think they discriminate against those of us with mental illness as opposed to physical limitations....
Again, YMMV of course, this is just what has happened with me, an what I was told by SSA. Not that SSA workers understand this stuff either.

It was hard and his reapplying, etc. complicated but he always got re-instated and had periods between jobs. It is true they want you to work, just like you do, but ultimately they are realistic about it if the evidence says you cannot. It might be the case for SSI but Social Security is something one earns through work and pays for. They cannot "kick you off" anymore than banks can steal all your money by feeing you to death  |
