Notas do episódio
In this remastered episode of Q&A Social Security Disability Today, originally published on November 4, 2012, Attorney Anthony Reeves answers a question about Continuing Disability Reviews and bipolar disorder.
The key point: Social Security is not focused only on the name of your condition. Whether the diagnosis is bipolar disorder or another medical or mental health condition, the main question during a Continuing Disability Review is whether your condition has improved enough for you to return to work.
Attorney Reeves explains why ongoing treatment matters, how Social Security compares your current medical condition to your condition at the time you were found disabled, and why mental health conditions can be especially complicated because symptoms may fluctuate over time.
