I was wondering if anyone knows if we are supposed to stay in counseling to continue getting SSDI my review is in a year and a half, Ijust moved to a great place and am using meds and coping skills to manage and am doing fairly well but if I need to be/stay in treatment, i will esp. since I am agoraphobic and yesterday was kind of bad. I am so anxious about my review it took me 2 years and 3 hospitalizations to get approved five total hospitalizations and years and years of meds changes and counseling. Thank you for any feed back u can offer.

Not sure about reviews. Do you have an advocate that helped you get SSDI in the first place? I would call them and ask or ask your pdoc or therapist. Sorry I wasn't much help.

i believe social security admistration for ongoing SSDI can provide you with a psychiatric review if one is needed for continuation of SSDI. however, i never was asked to do this while on SSDI. i met with my caseworker upon reviews, answered her questions about my need for continuuing my benefits and that's all i had to do. it's up to the caseworker to request a psychiatric review which is highly unlikely for you. as for staying in counseling you may benefit from this due to what u shared.
as for your review...no need to worry.  it's with your caseworker and a quite simple process...questions about where you are re how u feel, etc.you should do fine. also sometimes they cancel the review altogether even if it is scheduled. but they are required to do reviews from time to time/formality. it's primarily just to continue your case. __________________ Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours..~Ayn Rand |

I always wondered about this process as well. I've been on SSDI for almost two years now and was curious how the process worked. Thanks.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
