I've been worried about that since I started clozapine and it helped. That was in 2016 and I think I've only had 1 review since then. And all it was just a thing that was "still disabled?" (check) and a few others.
The reality is that if I were to be denied I would fight it (and they have to continue paying you while you fight) and my providers would stand up for me heavily. They both know there is no way I'm able to go back and there is a list of those things, including I'm not safe to drive until noon at best, get tired extremely easily, can't tolerate noise, forget things easily, etc. Nobody would want that as an employee and I think SS saw it and decided to leave me alone (I'll now get a renewal tomorrow  ).
