I’VE JUST BEEN AWARDED DISABILITY BENEFITS. HOW LONG CAN I EXPECT TO BE ON DISABILITY?
You should be on disability until you stop being disabled or become retirement age. The law requires that everybody be reviewed every three years to see if they remain disabled though Social Security can make that a longer period if they consider that your condition will not change. However, Social Security is so far behind, they rarely do “continuing disability reviews” anymore. It is anticipated that as soon as they catch up, they will start doing regular continuing disability reviews.
