I've had one so far and I was panicked until I was told my SSDI would continue. It was so stressful and affected my disabilities. I love the idea of keeping a notebook. That is a wonderful idea and I think would be super helpful because one of my symptoms is memory loss.

Thank you for the info. And yes I was here for the CDR part, but after the first part I believe it might be beneficial to hear some more.
The floors yours Sir, and thank you.

I think the person who said their SSDI is "at 90% and holding" was referring to the status of their SSDI claim that they see when they log onto their MySSA portal. I am a disability paralegal of 20 years and often I have clients gleefully tell me that they saw on their portal that their claim is 90% complete. Meanwhile, I can log onto ERE and see that their claim has not yet even been assigned to an adjudicator. So I have to be the big old wet blanket and explain that their claim is in fact NOT 90% complete; Nobody at DDS is even looking at it yet.

I started SSRI at 62 and have since requested disability because of serious medical issues, I am in stage 5 for review. Since filing I found out I got hit with clawback because of working at time of filing but earning more than what is allowed, It's one thing after another. Will the clawback affect

I received a cdr yesterday but it had been at my mom's address for a couple of months or longer and it said 2nd notice. It was just pages long. I sent it in yesterday the 4th of May. I'm still receiving benefits. Will the cut mine off? I've got end stage cirrhosis 4 years after I was approved.

[JenniferVogel-kj]

I've applied for disability for yrs and I had to quit work for my disability in almost 65.what should I do I'm married for43 yr. Can't work under a Dr care help

[RC]

Now I am stressed. A journal? Yikes. I fail horribly at keeping track of things and doing things like lists. I have a hard time just filling out and checking boxes on doctor's forms and other types of forms. What do you even put in the journal? I feel bad today. I went to the cardiologist today. I feel good/kinda good today. Won't that put into question your disability status? What happens if there's no journal to give them? Can you please do a video on a journal?

Thanks for the reassurance about the CDR. This is my 3rd one and I called one time and the SSA worker told me "no news is good news" LOL. I didn't believe him cause I was stressing so much cause you see videos about people being cancelled all the time and I was in and out of the hospital constantly so couldn't imagine how I was going to be able to go back to work! I just got my letter from SSA saying "oh never mind, we're not gonna review you after all", but we might later on or whatever it says. I spent 3 months in the hospital last year so was wondering if they would even bother to look at my medical record or say "Oh hell no!" Who has time for that! " LOL
