What is a Continuing Disability Review?
A Continuing Disability Review (CDR) is a process used by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to review the cases of certain beneficiaries of Social Security Disability (SSD) in South Dakota. The CDR process is used to ensure that those receiving SSD benefits continue to meet the medical requirements necessary to qualify for those benefits. The CDR involves a review of the medical condition of the beneficiary by the SSA. The SSA will evaluate the current medical evidence, medical records, and other information to determine if the beneficiary still meets the definition of disability under SSA guidelines. If the SSA determines that the person continues to be disabled, the SSD benefit will continue without interruption. If, however, the SSA determines that the beneficiary does not meet the definition of disability, the benefit will be terminated and a notice of the termination will be sent to the beneficiary. If this occurs, the beneficiary may file an appeal to the decision and submit additional medical evidence to demonstrate that they still meet the definition of disability. The SSA will review each CDR case on a case-by-case basis depending on the individual circumstances. Generally, the SSA will conduct a CDR every 3 to 7 years for those receiving SSD benefits. It is important for those receiving SSD benefits in South Dakota to understand the CDR process and to ensure they submit any additional medical evidence needed to support their continued eligibility for those benefits.
