reviews means they are opening your file to see how and why you were placed on SSI/SSDI in the past and whether those past problems still apply today by the SSI/SSDI rules today. example 15 years ago the criteria and standards for getting SSI/SSDI was different than they are today. they will be looking at your file and seeing what still applies to SSI/SSDI today.
they will also have you fill out a questionaire about your problems and who your treatment providers are. this is so that they can match what they already have on file and update any changes. example your diagnosis 15 years ago may not be the same as today (schizophrenia does get better and sometimes does go away or change to another diagnosis especially since the diagnosis's in america has changed only 4 years ago. they may want to know what your new diagnosis is based on the mental health standards today)
my suggestion is just fill out the paper being as detailed and honest. then wait to see if they send you a letter asking you to see their list of treatment providers, or if the letter is that they determined you still qualify.

SSI has nothing to do with disability. It is all about how much money you have or don't have. It's for the very poor. I worked with schizophrenia for 17 years. It may very occasionally be misdiagnosed, but if not misdiagnosed it does not go away.
