Continuing Disability Reviews & Age 18 Redeterminations
Expert Legal Assistance for Disability Reviews and Redeterminations
At Imbesi Disability Law, we specialize in guiding clients through the complexities of Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) and Age 18 Redeterminations. These evaluations are crucial for maintaining eligibility for Social Security Disability benefits and can have significant implications for individuals with disabilities.
Understanding Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs)
Continuing Disability Reviews are periodic assessments conducted by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to determine whether individuals receiving disability benefits still meet the criteria for disability. The frequency of these reviews depends on the nature of the disability and the likelihood of medical improvement. A CDR can result in the continuation, reduction, or termination of benefits.
Age 18 Redeterminations
When a child receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits reaches age 18, the SSA conducts a redetermination to assess their eligibility for continued benefits as an adult. This process involves evaluating the individual’s disability under the adult standard, which is often stricter than the child standard.
