I received a full medical review March of this year the full 14 page one and got my letter that I will continue to review full benefits. Have you ever been reviewed if so was it long or short CDR? I'm still a mess over all this and was curious if I will keep getting long form reviews

what does it matter if your still getting benefits? you're pretty fortunate, most who suffer with mental illness don't get any kind of benefits and have to work through them. if you keep getting benefits you'll have to keep routinely filling out the long form, probably not every year, but every so many years. They want to make sure you still qualify, and that's always going to be part of the deal.

I have a conditional drivers license, because I have a Seizure Disorder, my Dr.'s and I have to fill out a 26 pg. medical review every 8 months so that I can keep my NC Drivers License so I can drive back and forth to work.....anytime you have any type of Medical Illness/Mental Illness that you get benefits for or conditional issuances for, there will be paperwork to be done.
