When I was approved they said I'd be reviewed every 3 years. The first 1-2 times I had to fill out a lot of the same paperwork as I did for the application and so did my therapist. Then in 2018 (my 7th year) I had a 1 page form about my health and whether I had discussed work with my professionals and a couple things like that. I got another of those a few years ago and I guess it's probably time for another review this year. My therapist didn't have to submit anything and hasn't since like 2014 or so. No medical records were requested ever, just a big form from him.

The time between reviews is based on how likely they think you are to return to work. Most people are in the 3 year category.


They are nerve-wracking but something like 95% of people are re-approved and if you are declined they pay you while you fight them.
