What is a Continuing Disability Review?
A Continuing Disability Review (CDR) is a process conducted by the West Virginia Social Security Administration to determine if a person is still eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. The CDR is initiated when the Social Security Administration receives information that suggests a disability recipient may have experienced a medical improvement. This could be the result of medical treatment, or the beneficiary may have returned to work. The CDR is conducted by a doctor or other healthcare professional to evaluate the mental and/or physical condition of the recipient and to determine if the person is still disabled and unable to work. During the review process, the recipient will be asked to provide information about their current medical condition, including medical records and test results. The doctor or other healthcare professional will review this information and make a determination regarding the disability status of the individual. If the review finds that the individual is still disabled and unable to work, they will continue to receive disability benefits. If the review determines that the recipient has medically improved to the point where they are no longer disabled and can work, their disability benefits will be terminated.
