I just got my first disability review after 6 years( don't know why my first review wasn't sooner) In the letter it says if you don't hear from us then nothing has changed. I had to get the form filled out & mailed within 30 days. It doesn't say how long it will take for the review to be finished. Since I mailed it in I've been anxious like never before. Does anyone know how long a disability review takes?

In reply to all answers I sent 2 letters from 2 different people on my treatment team( my PCP & my Therapist) plus 3 doctors notes from 3 different doctors doctors notes. In one of the doctors notes which was a rheumatologist, it said he diagnosed me Myofascial pain Syndrome, Hypermobitity Syndrome & he added that I was suffering from knee pain at the time so I don't know if they will make me have a full medical review like 12Tribes said @A MyFibroTeam Member

I was approved in 2014 and in my approval letter it said I would be reviewed in 5 years. Sounds like it's pretty standard.

Where are you from in pennsylvania to try and get disability its a long process the first time i sent my stuff in i got denied which is the usual here, So my attorneys filed a appeal and its been 14 months and have heard nothing. And this is the norm here.
