Social Security might end (terminate) your SSI or disability benefits because they say you’re no longer disabled, or you no longer meet financial requirements. Learn the process for fighting (appealing) a Social Security termination through reconsideration and hearing.

1. Review medical condition
The Social Security Administration (Social Security) regularly reviews your medical condition to see if you still meet their disability standards. They call this process a continuing disability review (CDR).
Social Security will send you a notice asking you to go to the local office. They'll ask you about how your physical and/or mental impairments still affect you. You must give Social Security a list of your doctors and of all the medications you take.
If the Social Security Administration (Social Security) believes your medical condition has improved, they’ll send you a written notice saying your benefits will end (terminate). Then you can appeal Social Security’s decision.
If you start the appeal process in time, you can keep getting your full benefit amount while you pursue your appeal.
