Continued disability review

Sorry, I don't understand your question. When did they say your claim would be reviewed as you were approved?  My approval letter said it would be reviewed in 5-7 years. According to the pamphlet sent with the letter a 5-7 year review means they felt my disability was not expected to improve.  I don't remember the exact times and reasons for review timing but I think one could be coming up for review at around 18 months and another 3 years. Those with shorter review times were more likely to improve. The timing of your disability and mine are similar.  My surgeries were 11/2/10 & 12/29/10.  I also have other medical diseases/syndromes with the highlights below in my signature.  

I don't see how you would be in jeopardy of losing your benefits if you are still disabled.  I'm sorry you are having so much trouble with your pouch.  It adds to our anxiety when we are in fear of losing our income. 

All I'd like to suggest is that if they do review your case you list everything that is wrong with you including counseling.  I never asked why I was approved. I assumed it was due to everything that was wrong with me and not just one thing.  If I could get well enough to work again I would do so happily. That would mean my pain and disability would be gone and I'd be making a lot more money than what I receive in benefits.  I'm sure you feel the same way.
