Veterans lawyer A review of the basics
Your file should normally be reviewed a year after you are awarded benefits, then the third and seventh years after. Many state social security agencies have a bit of a review logjam right now, which means that many reviews are not happening on the one, three, seven year timeline. That means that your file could undergo a review when you do not expect it. The purpose of the reviews are to make sure that Social Security has the most current information about your medical and employment situation. Disability examiners are interested in determining whether your injury has improved, worsened or remains the same.
