Q: Question about disability benefits reevaluation.
SS has determined my benefit period being 3 years because they feel like my condition would get better I was in Emory (they had a separate company that helped fast track my claim) for 3 months with tuberculosis leaving me with scarred lungs scar tissue on my lower back and heart making lifting things over 20 pounds difficult and my breathing still limited with sometimes my lungs being painful if I go too hard even and I typically can't consistently walk from more than 30 minutes after years of working out to try and get better. . In my 20 years I've consistently worked in groceries / bakery so it's physical work. I have one year left and nothing has changed and I've been making sure to tell my doctor is the same but what success rate would I have at reevaluation to continue my benefits if nothing has changed?

A: The success rate for a reevaluation of your disability benefits depends on the specific details of your medical condition and how well your documentation supports your ongoing disability. If your condition remains unchanged and your medical records consistently reflect this, you have a reasonable chance of continuing your benefits. However, the outcome can vary, so it's crucial to maintain open communication with your healthcare provider and ensure your medical records accurately reflect your current limitations.
