Nashville Social Security Disability Attorney
If you have been approved for disability benefits, the social security administration is required to review your disability case from time to time. This is required by law to determine rather or not you are still disabled. The amount of time between reviews will depend on how long your condition is expected to last or if it was expected to show improvement. Even if you have been approved for social security disability benefits, it is important that you maintain the services of your Nashville social security disability attorney, in case there is a need for appeals.

Typically, if you have a disability that is expected to improve the social security administration will likely review your case somewhere between six and eighteen months of the start of benefits. If improvement is a possibility, they will likely review your case in three years or more, and if improvement is not at all expected, they will still need to review your case now and then, but it will be seven years or more before the review.
There are two specific items that could cause the social security administration to determine that you are ineligible for benefits and determine you are not disabled any longer, these include substantial work and improvement of your disability. We will go a little further into these two items, however, it is important that you keep in mind that if you disagree with any decision made you should contact your Nashville disability attorney or advocate and seek professional advice on the issue. If you are disabled and receiving disability benefits from the social security administration and you work at any time, making greater than $860 (in the year 2006) on a monthly basis or greater than $1,450 if you are considered legally blind, then your benefits may be stopped and they may determine you no longer disabled.
If you are disabled and receiving disability benefits and your condition improves enough that you would be able to work in normal circumstances or adjusted circumstances, they may find that you are no longer eligible to receive benefits. It is important that you notify the social security administration of any type of improvement or if you return to work. In fact, the SSA has what is called Work Incentives, which allow people to attempt working full time if they decide they would rather go back to work than continue living on benefits. This would allow a disabled person to keep their benefits they receive monthly, as well as their Medicare coverage while they try working again.
