Disability benefits: a favorable decision doesn't mean you'll receive payments forever...

The Social Security Administration will award disability benefits until you are able to return to work or until death, which means that your case will be reevaluated at some point. Therefore, it is imperative to continue to receive treatment after you are found disabled.

If you have been awarded Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) your case will be reevaluated in the following fashion:

If medical improvement is expected:
A review will or may be conducted in a year's time

If medical improvement is possible:
A review will or may be conducted in three years time

If medical improvement is not expected:
A review will or may be conducted in seven years time
