When I first started to recieve SSD, I was told that in 5 yrs that I would be

Has anyone else been through this-if so what was itlike and how hard was it to

continue

with SSD?

Donna,

You shouldn't have any need for an attorney for a review. I believe all they

are doing is

checking to see that your disability is still the same as it was when you

applied, and that

you haven't " healed " or gotten so much better that you would now be eligible to

go back to

work.

Kaye just went through her 5 year review last year, I believe. When she gets

out of the

hospital, perhaps she can tell you more about it. I don't believe she had any

trouble

certifying that her disability was still the same.

I think that 5 year review is set up to check on people who are trying to cheat

the system

and still collect while they are actually able to work. I would think that you

shouldn't have

any problems.

With love, hope and prayers,
