I'm not sure the answer to your question. When I was granted SSDI, I didn't see anything in any paperwork scheduling me for a review down the line. Maybe I missed something. I'm similar to you in age, but a little bit older. Now that I am 63, I don't worry about it, since I would have the option of retiring at age 62, even without a disability.

Though I don't have a firm answer for you, I'll direct you to this passage that I've read:

"Although it is possible to lose benefits after a CDR, it is highly unlikely. In the most recent study published by the SSA, disability benefits after a CDR are continued over 95% of the time. Most individuals with impairments serious enough to be approved for disability in the first place do not medically improve, nor do they return to regular employment."

From: How Difficult Is it to Pass a Social Security Continuing Disability Re-Evaluation (CDR)? | Disability Secrets

Combining that insight with your age, I would think it an even higher unlikelihood that you have any chance of having your benefit stopped.

But if you find a definitive answer, please share it. Maybe I'm taking too much for granted in my own case.
